Can you help with a point of confusion on my part? Is the dimension/size of the center controls of the yoke and the new wheel the same ? For example, I purchased a steering wheel replacement from pimpmyev. It feels great material wise but the steering/turning radius is oblong as the wheel was...

Thanks everyone for the additional feedback. I’m not sure why my vibration has changed. Based on the group response it seems clear that the software update was a coincidence. Maybe this means I’m one step closer to catastrophic failure. The calm before the storm scenario. Honestly, it would...

I hear you NeuroRad(fellow PedRad here)and shared a similar posting. Something changed.

Good point. To qualify all of my local driving has speed limits of 25-30mph. Sad but true…it’s hard for me to get up to mid 40s safely/legally in our village. The vibration however was predictable and always reproducible in the 40 range. Now it’s not. Nothing else has changed on the car except...

I hope your seat is still quiet. I ended up taking off the back seat panel and added gaffers tape to every metal on plastic connection and any potential spot that plastic may rub and I’m happy to report the creaking is gone(going on 3 weeks) An early poster had mentioned when they took off the...

Call me crazy in advance but the vibration is now essentially non existent. Version 2022.40.4.1 I waited to post so I could test for a few days. Stock 19s, same on and off ramp speed tests that I could previously reproduce the vibration. I’ve tested in 70deg and now in the 30s thanks to the...

Indeed, the worst. I’m not —-6ft, 150lb. Maybe I need to gain more weight.

Yep. The entire seat. When they took the seat apart they found a rivet that was broken up high (not a source of noise) but resulted in too much lean of the seat. I don’t know why but this sound drives me bonkers. There are other imperfections with the car that I can ignore but this MFCking creak…

Well, I’m back and the creaks are too. My last note on the forum highlighted that the tightening of bolts fixed the issue. However, it was temporary. I ended up getting an entire new seat and no more creaks for about 2 months and now it returned today. Same sound and seemingly same location...

That was the exact same sound as mine. As mentioned, one or a combination of tightening of bolts fixed the problem for me.

Regarding the calipers….an easy alternative is to use the caliper vinyl wrap by twraps https://twraps.com/products/calipers-vinyl-covers-for-2021-tesla-model-s It gives you options for color and allows to be switched out. I’ve used red and blue as noted in the pictures. Honestly, most people...

Regarding the wheels….the color is satin black. If you are referring to trim, the new refresh is a gloss black as opposed to the old chrome.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve been meaning to add that the Tesla mobile tech tightened all of the bolts similar to the picture in a previous post and it eliminated the creak. As I believe you mentioned, the tightening was minimal and difficult to perceive as loose but it worked. I wish I could of...
