Whelp, my Plaid was not returned to me late yesterday, as the problem persists. Was told it would be worked on over night, but no movement (via data logger or app) since 6pm. Return pushed to end of day today, but I suspect they are waiting for "next steps" direction from mothership Engineering... Never a dull moment with this bastard Plaid.@lbowroom I have no idea about shoe sizes and all that horseshite. My passengers even feel the vibration in the floor and console, when their arm is against it. I’m certainly not going to suggest they wear different shoes and not to lean on the console….
SC confirmed vibration and started with half shaft/CV joint replacement (both sides), 4-wheel alignment, and rebalancing all four tires. That all happened today and didn’t seem to resolve the vibration, as they said the car was not ready as it was expected it would be - by 4:45pm. They test drove it at 3pm (I can see the car rolling on the app, and I data log via self hosted TeslaMate). It when right back into the shop and has been in there, post repair test drive, for the last 2-3 hours. Not sure what the plan is next. New inverter? Drive Unit? It’s anyone’s guess at this point. Still think it’s more electrical, than mechanical - even emphasized that in my notes and when discussing with the tech during test drive.

You took your car in for a light??My Plaid has been in the shop for over 24 hours for troubleshooting the inverted LED switch in the center console. Now I suspect they delegated this issue to day shift only, hence leaving it overnight with no progress.
I also got the email recalling my airbag.And the issues continue to mount with this bastard Plaid. Airbag recall on my vin.
I wonder if the replacement airbags will have a more, or less, pronounced "worm".I also got the email recalling my airbag.
I just found this thread and YES I have the same problem! I'm so glad I'm not alone. It actually feels like I'm driving a gas car. It's a bunch of rumble from the front end of the car.
The throttle input has to be like 2%. SLIGHT. Usually when I want to coast at 45mph.
“Airbags may not deploy properly…” “No immediate action is required if you own a Model S or Model X affected by this recall, and you may continue to drive your car.” - They may not work, but keep driving the PoS…. No thanks!

Possibly. Have you checked the inside of your rear tires? Lowering the car increases the negative camber and S/X do not have adjustment for that (Mercedes heritage - not sure how it is on the redesigned S).my car is dropped an inch with lowering links and default to low. I've never launched it or exiting a a corner with the suspension raised. Maybe a factor? Links went on a less than a couple hundred miles in
Agreed. I did the tire thing prior to taking it in. Was not a balance or inflation problem for me.I had some vibration between 25 and 40 mph. Checked the tires (they were already balanced/rotated to try to resolve the issue) and they were a bit under inflated. Brought them up to specs and it seems that the vibration disappeared or, at least, significantly reduced.
In general, based on my experience, SC are not very good at diagnostics.

Wow! A fix for an engineering issue! I would have never expected this from Tesla!Well, got the car back, and so fr, so good.... Looks like the 2nd generation half shafts might do the trick. Details attached...

@lbowroom
I am dumbfounded. I was sure you'd get the car back with the issue still present. Adding to my list for next service visit...
