    Vibration in Yolk at 70+ mph

    Eh - not quite. The first visit they suggested this sort of thing is usually tires and that I should go consult a 3rd party tire shop. They gave the bushings/suspension a check and thought things were OK. I figured I'd eliminate wheels as a possible cause (looked fine to me, but one less...

    Vibration in Yolk at 70+ mph

    Not quite - switching to the 19's greatly reduced but it's still noticeable. I noticed the holiday update helped with the 45mph vibrations, but the 55-80mph vibrations are the same. About to start throwing the parts cannon at it. Will ask to get hubs, shafts, etc. replaced.

    Vibration in Yolk at 70+ mph

    Wanted to share an update; when I'm in track mode and have the car pretend it's front wheel drive, it pulls left when accelerating and pulls right when regeneratively braking. This symptom is not present in Plaid mode or during any normal driving. The vibration is much better on the 19in wheels...

    Need help figuring out vibration

    Which rims are you running? Since I last posted I bought a set of 19in wheels from Ebay. This helped GREATLY. I still have the vibration around 40-45mph that other people mention. I don't think there's any way to get rid of that. It feels like a vibrator in the footwell, lol. I believe it's a...

    Need help figuring out vibration

    Anyone else notice vibration at higher speeds in the Plaid? I get a constant vibration/shake in steering wheel, seats, and footwell when driving 55-85mph. Peak intensity 65-70 mph. Can be seen in left mirror. Can be heard; sounds like wind buffeting if leaving window open. Vibrates regardless...

    Supercharger - Covington, LA

    Just checked yesterday and the transformer is on its pad. Nothing is live yet; checked the charging stalls, L2 chargers, and the transformer's power meter isn't on yet. It reads 150kva so I'm guessing that transformer is only for supporting the L2 chargers. Wasn't paying attention to what those...

    Vibration in Yolk at 70+ mph

    Same problem with my 2021 plaid S. Paid to have wheels road force balanced at a local tire shop, but this didn't help. The car vibrates at 70-90mph. It feels worse some drives than others. The yoke literally feels like a phone on vibrate, on very bad drives. It shakes the driver side mirror more...

    Toolbox use on Model S Plaid

    This is broad-reach gigabit ethernet over a H-MTD single connector. You'd need something like this: 100-1000BASE-T1 MediaConverter H-MTD Connector And cable: https://technica-engineering.de/en/produkt/h-mtd-connecting-cable-2m/ Haven't tested those, but they seem like they might work. Let me...

    Supercharger - Metairie, LA

    Found the permit application for the Metarie, Louisiana SuperCharger. Permit application was just submitted 2/2/2021. We will be getting 12 SuperCharger stalls. Finally, some charging options on the south shore closer to New Orleans! Project #: 21-416319 Based on the address, it looks like it...

    Plaid S in the wild photos

    Yeah I think this is more likely to be the 2021 refresh rather than the Plaid Model S. We've seen the Plaid S at the Nürburgring, which had holes for airflow in the front fenders and a more aggressive diffuser. You could argue that was just a prototype, but I feel like we'd see more aggressive...

    Setec CCS to Tesla Adapter

    Just got my Setech CCS1 adapter. Total shipping time from Hong Kong was 7 actual days. I tried it twice and it worked great both times, although charging speed was a bit slower than I expected; 42kW I tried at a 150kW Electrify America charging station. My SOC was 4%. I have a 2019 Model 3...
