    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    My guy is an automotive regulatory specialist. Establishing the problem will be the first bit. Establishing the costs is another. A broader implication of some kind of negligence or malfeasance is beyond any kind of remedy I am looking for. I just want the car to stop shaking and for them to...

    you could balance a glass of water (while holding) on one side of the yoke and get someone to video that...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    Just to keep this going, I posted that after v11 of the firmware update my vibration diminished, this was true for a good 10,000km but is back in full force again. SC has blamed my tires (shifted belts on PS4s that I have never once launched with), unbalanced wheels (I've done numerous 3rd party...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    Software 11.1 updated last week. No more vibration. No idea if there is a real correlation or I just slipped into a parallel universe where my car no longer annoys the *sugar* out of me every day. There is a faint ghost of it left, but barely perceptible now, even through strong acceleration, etc...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    We just got back from Paris and I have never seen so many Teslas beat to rat *sugar* from traffic and parking. I have no complaints about the yoke except for the reach for the horn button which is idiotic. But I live in Canada. If I had to parallel park as often as anyone in Germany or France I...

    POLL: vibration felt when slightly accelerating refresh Mode S Plaid or LR

    This is a depressing thread. I had hoped my SC was right in blaming my PS4s, wheels, (winters on, less noticeable but still an issue, matching speeds in yoke/pedals, etc. worse w. acceleration but constantly there like an unbalanced wheel ) everything but mech or elect. but seems this is a well...

    "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

    MSLR 2022, Vin ending 2429. Vibration all the time. SC has blamed my tires, wheel balance (both brand new, never launched). They claimed my PS4's on Arachnids had 'extreme feathering and shifted belts' after only 7,000km of wear. So put winter 19's on new winter wheels, fully road force...

    I Ordered a Taycan

    You can set the levels. ‘Sport’ mode and up had a moderate one-pedal regen, the Germans call ‘recuperation’, but you can increase it deep into the menus…

    I Ordered a Taycan

    Wife with bad sciatica- yeah not nice The promised 270kW charging at 800V I never saw once even under ideal conditions (low SOC/warm battery, 350kW pedestal). Don’t believe the hype…as for driving efficiency, one needs to keep an eye on the comparative kWh/100km stats. Tesla is half of my CT...

    I Ordered a Taycan

    fwiw, I just did a lateral trade of my 2021 Taycan 4CT for a 2022 MSLR. Yes, relative to the Taycan the MS has the dynamics of a golf cart; top heavy and bloated. The Taycan feels planted especially over 150kph. That said, the software is glitchy af, Porsche sales were some of the most...

    2012 Sig Motor Fault 3 months out of Warranty

    From a non-Tesla service team: "Motor is completely fried... as you can see, there were sparks from the 400v wires on the cover and the electronics fried at that time. This was either water getting in from the high voltage wires or coolant coming from the rotor side.. but we believe more that...

    2012 Sig Motor Fault 3 months out of Warranty

    The Vaughan SC has just informed me that since the car has been with them for a 'considerable time' (5 days including today) they will start charging me storage fees of $100/day unless I proceed with repairs with them. THIS is how you treat a potential future customer?
