Weird groaning noise from Model X

[Chocolate Factory]

Anyone else hear a slight groaning noise from their Model X when accelerating? Mine started recently, and it's driving me nuts. It's not the half-shaft knocking sound, and there are no error codes. Only happens at higher speeds. Any ideas what it could be?

This sounds like premature wear on the front half shaft, which is a known Tesla issue.

Have you checked the wheel bearings or any loose components? Sometimes those little noises can be tricky to track down, especially when they only show up at speed.

Yeah it could be the wheel bearings or the brake pads, they can make noises when accelerating, especially at higher speeds.
