New 2023 Model X

[bobsygirl]

I have a 1 week old 2023 Model X that is inconsistently producing popping/snapping noises sounding as if coming someplace behind the front row, on both the driver’s side and passenger side. It happens periodically when driving or not moving while in Park, with the radio on or lowered.

I had it at the dealership and 2 service people heard the noises coming from both sides of the car. Left the car there. A certified technician went over the car, checking the suspension, door alignment, and his conclusion was that these noises are normal for this generation teslas.

I’m at a loss. What should be my next step?

This is my first post. I hope I did this correctly.

I can't offer anything of real assistance other than to tell you I also have a new 23 MX and I definitely don't have this problem, so I don't think it's normal.

Thank you. Im picking up my X tomorrow and will ask about options. I am making recordings of the popping/snapping noises and will start keeping a log.

Dealership? One of the 4,000 that wrote a letter to Biden declaring that car-buying public doesn’t want an EV? Fishy.

Mine is a month old now, fine for the first 2 weeks, then got the ticking noise. It doesn't seem to be from the suspension, but maybe a panel moving under stress. When i find time, I need to stop by tesla for them to take a look.

Where in NJ are you located? If not too far, possible meet to compare the sound? I'm in Parsippany area.

I picked up my new Model X after the dealership checked over my car for the popping/snapping noises. A technician drove my car for quite a while without hearing the noises. I was asked to drive my car with the technician. Again, the car was quiet. I did have a recording but not the greatest quality. While sitting in the car with the car in park, weighing my options, 2 loud popping noises were heard. The technician heard the sounds and met the challenge. He found that the wiring and pins to the speakers were not connected correctly. He redid them. I’ve driven my X for 2 days in silence. I can now enjoy my vehicle.

I’m in south Jersey. Try recording your unusual sounds. Also, try keeping a log.
