The other possibility of being suffering from a muffled exhaust noise on Tesla Model X is to have a part of the exhaust device that has dislocated as a consequence of vibrations for example. In fact some junctions of the different parts of the pot can loosen after some time and induce an exhaust gas leak in places not intended for this goal. These fumes will then create a loud noise. Same technique as above, we go under the Tesla Model X to establish the problem place, and tighten or replace the bolts.
