    Vendor Official Atomic Wheels thread for Model S 21+

    Curious, can you do a custom order Arachnid Wheel forged with the same specs as Tesla?

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    No, it's not all computer software... the act of putting the tires onto the wheels is an art in itself. With all due respect, I don't think many in this forum understand the physical process of road force balancing. I encourage everyone with this vibration issue to watch this video ACTUAL Road...

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    That doesn't guarantee the new wheels and tires are balanced correctly. As I've said before, road force balancing is an intricate process and you can be sure if they're doing it at Fremont they are not paying any attention whatsoever as the main goal is to churn out cars as fast as humanly...

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    If you took the wheels off a Model S that doesn't vibrate and put them on yours and it still vibrated then obviously something is wrong with the car. To the best of my knowledge, this hasn't been tested by anyone... I mean I get that it's not a very practical troubleshooting method but it would...

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    This is entirely a wheel balance issue. Bring the car to a German OEM dealer that's been around a while. Road force balancing is an intricate process, the person doing it matters more than the actual machine being used. The other option would be to find a Model S to test drive that does not...

    2021 Model Y LR Steering Wheel Shakes.

    I cannot stress this enough. Go to a german OEM for a Hunter balance. Discount tire deals with Hyundais and 2007 Civics all day. The employee doing your balance does not have the pay/care/finesse to do a proper job. True road force balancing means match mounting, where they'll rotate the tire on...

    As well, ensure wherever you are going, has a HUNTER ROAD FORCE BALANCER; use Hunter's website to locate one.

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    The German OEMs are very familiar with the perfectionist client. Although, I don't think any of us here feel we are being unreasonable in our requests for a non-vibrational drive.

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    I had this issue. The solution was getting my tire's road force balanced twice. The first time was by Tesla; the second was by Porsche (who knew exactly what they were doing). I recommend you take your Model S to a German dealer, preferably Porsche or Mercedes and explain to them you want them...

    Refresh S Stereo

    I never said it was bad. Both beat any other sound system I've heard in a car hands down. I'm saying the Model 3 is slightly better and it's noticeable.

    Refresh S Stereo

    I've spent a significant amount of time in both a Model 3 and refreshed Model S and here is my two cents; The Model 3 sound system is superior to Model S solely in the bass/immersive-ness of the sound. It's punchier, much more centred, and seems to permeate the cabin at higher volumes. The...
