    Who's getting the normal steering wheel?

    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...

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

    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...

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

    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...

    Refresh Model S driver’s seat creaking.

    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...

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

    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...

    Refresh Model S driver’s seat creaking.

    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…

    Refresh Model S driver’s seat creaking.

    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...

    19in Model S Refresh Wheels --Powder coat Satin black(photos)

    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...

    Refresh Model S driver’s seat creaking.

    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...

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

    To be clear, I agree with you @jebinc. This does not fix the root problem but now I don’t really notice it. I do still have a subtle pedal vibration but the Yoke shaking was by far the worse part for me. Out of sight out of mind problem solving approach. I had a 2018 Model X performance and the...

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

    Interesting point to add….2022 Model S Feb Delivery. Vibration at 40ish mph consistent with others. However, I just switched to a PimpMyEV.com Round steering wheel and I no longer feel it. The steering wheel is Heavy, considerably more solid and heavy compared with the Yoke. FU yoke.

    Refresh Model S driver’s seat creaking.

    Great work. Thanks for posting. Apparently the refresh model X and S seats are identical per my mobile service rep. I spent a few minutes today and the creaking does appear primarily with braking and associated/in the region of the metal on metal seat belt pull. It’s SOOO hard to isolate these...

    Refresh Model S driver’s seat creaking.

    Thanks again for posting this. My headrest came off easily and didn’t appear to be held in by any rings. The seat back was then an easy remove. It appears I isolated my creak to the back left corner. The metal in this region is rather flexible and in continuity with some type of motor. I can...

    I have the same thing !!! 2022 Model S, 5000 miles. It’s been driving me crazy. I’ve tried to spray everything with lube I can see without success. I had a mobile service visit and the tech tried to spray some plastic/metal connection deeper in the seat but it didn’t help either. I put in for...

    Model S 2022 to Model Y 2022 - Should I switch?

    I would still say No. The Y has a loud, stiff/rigid ride that falls apart with any rough roads. The doors sound cheap when closing and the interior is much more plastic in feel. You’ve seen the best and in my opinion it would be hard to go backwards. Yes, you have some equity but once you sell...

    Model S 2022 to Model Y 2022 - Should I switch?

    I’ve owned all Tesla models at this point. The model S refresh is by far the superior vehicle over the Y. I would not recommend the switch. Additionally, the Y certainly doesn’t warrant its current market price. I currently have a 2021 model Y and a 2022 Model S.
