    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation

    They really need to hurry up with this. My MSP is getting bought back and I want a Highland Ludicrous

    Yeah I’m going to grab a Highland for the night to try out. Leaning towards the sedan

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    Tesla has approved my buyback. Good riddance lol Now should I get a Highland Ludicrous or MYP?

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    if dynamic balancing is the same as road force, they’ve done both sets of my wheels like a dozen times. It doesn’t solve the problem

    Have they finally fixed the Model S yet? Interested in 2024 plaid.

    I had my half shafts replaced. The vibration doesn’t go away at ANY ride height

    Have they finally fixed the Model S yet? Interested in 2024 plaid.

    Cold start vibration from the front drive unit Shudder from 30-45 mph Vibration from yoke at highway speeds (over 70 mph) The vast majority of us with these issues have Plaids

    2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

    I honestly don't think this can be fixed with software. Seems like a front motor issue. Motor mounts? Oil?

    Have they finally fixed the Model S yet? Interested in 2024 plaid.

    Vibration issues are still present on the Plaids. Software update hasn't fixed anything for me. But other than that, build quality is solid on mine. No creaks or rattles. I think you're getting a new service center by Manchester, but I've had like 15 service visits in under a year. Mostly for...

    Maine!

    I did this a couple years ago. If you lease, they wouldn't even ship the car. Had to go to NJ to pick it up.

    Supercharger - Scarborough, ME

    Weird location, but glad to see Southern Maine getting blanketed with chargers

    Did I mess up? No more inventory / discounts for MYP?

    They keep popping up randomly. For some reason, they only seem to be grey MYPs in my area

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

    https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1854/model-s-and-x-to-get-updated-battery-or-drivetrain-updated-wheel-ambient-lighting-and-front-bumper-camera It looks like we might be using a new drivetrain soon? Bets on whether they silently fix the problem?

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

    Has anyone been able to get a front drive unit replacement? Clearly a bunch of these are defective. If you go into track mode and set the power to the rear, the vibration goes away

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    Just got back from a long road trip. Basically up to around 87 or so, it's manageable. There's a slight vibration from the yoke. Above that, can't do it, especially if I cruise at 90

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    Car is back at the service center for a road force balance. The tech wanted to keep it overnight so they can drive it in the morning when the vibration is really bad. That being said, this MYLR (with acceleration boost) loaner is slow as hell 😂

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    reporting back after a few days with the update. It seems to have minimized the problem if the car is warmed up. But on a full cold start (like sitting outside overnight), I still have that 30-40mph vibration. Suspension height doesn’t matter.

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    I've had the half-shafts replaced. It started vibrating as I drove home from the dealer lol

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    Just drove on some brand new roads. The vibration is pretty subtle tbh. I think I need to try another road force balance. They completely ****ed it up at my last service visit

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    I guess this points to a motor issue. No way Tesla is going to be replacing drive units
  21. C

    Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

    Alright, I’ve been driving around. It’s still there, but less noticeable. Happens around 35ish MPH I’m going to book an appointment for next week and ask for a buyback

    Will report back this evening 😂

    MS Plaid vs Taycan vs EQS

    This is exactly the same issue I’m facing. If I go down the buyback path, what’s next? Do I go back to a MYP or get another Plaid? Not interested in a CCS car. I drive too much to deal with electrify America. I know the MYP won’t have any issues, but the refresh is around the corner. Ugh

    MS Plaid vs Taycan vs EQS

    How long did the buyback take? I still need to request one by the end of the year. I wonder if a lease changes the timeframe on that. One of my local centers was like oh Vibration issues are eligible for a buyback which seems like BS to me

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    How do I request a buyback? One of my local service centers refuses to help. They say I have to go through lemon law. Anyone know the process?

    Londonderry NH Sales/Service Center

    Yeah I think there’s a loophole somewhere. I’ve purchased from Herb Chambers Audi and BMW many times. There is a slight delivery delay because they have to register the car but I’ve done it. They have to hand you the car with Maine/NH plates

    Londonderry NH Sales/Service Center

    Then how have I been able to buy many different BMWs and Audis out of Mass? And no, I never paid Mass sales tax.

    Londonderry NH Sales/Service Center

    That’s not completely true. Tesla just doesn’t want to deal with the headache. I’ve purchased many cars from Mass over the years. The car has to be registered before they can deliver and that creates a delay that Tesla doesn’t want to deal with.

    Washington DC Area Mobile Car Wash

    What is he charging now? I want to get a good wash in and get some sealant on the paint before winter

    Mid-Atlantic Superchargers (speculation, discussion)

    Has anyone seen more Magic Docks in the area? They seem to be upgrading the Northeast

    Londonderry NH Sales/Service Center

    NH is a godsend for Maine customers. Don't have to worry about the taxes. They can just hand you the car and you will pay sales and excise tax at your local town hall

    buying a lemon?

    Oh hell no, I'm already having enough issues buying a demo

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

    Hmm, I might have my service center remove the foam and see what happens. I'm guessing I'm going to get another road force balance and alignment once I take the car in. You'd think they would find this during testing. People are driving these car over 80mph on the highway 😂

    Model S Plaid All-Season Tires?

    Interesting. Most of the MS LRs I've seen around here come with the Michelins on the 21s. My Plaid was delivered with them too

    Refreshed model S Late 2021 sounds like an old box spring. Service?

    Might be your seat assembly. I have an appointment to get my driver's seat assembly replaced this week for a similar sound. They ordered it like a month ago

    Model S Plaid All-Season Tires?

    I picked up a set of the 19s with the Continental All-Seasons. Ride quality is night and day. If you're really want to run the 21s, TireRack has a set of Mercerdes-spec Continentals that fit on a Plaid and Goodyear does have a Tesla-spec set (goes on the MS LR). I was told to avoid them by my...

    Model S Plaid insurance

    It's hard to compare between people. I'd shop your smaller local agents. I saved a lot of money doing that

    Is the Model S a villian now?

    Jokes on them. There isn't a better car for $90k. All I need to do is get the yoke swapped out

    The reason I got a 2022 Plaid was it had the Ultrasonic Sensors...

    I picked up a demo 2022 off the website in March 2023 for this reason exactly The vision-only system is garbage on a S, especially with the low front lip

    2021 Model S Plaid Steering Yoke shaking at highway speeds

    lol nope. They did another really good road force balance and the issue doesn’t come up until over 85. That being said, apparently there is a software update coming.

    Any recommended alignment shops in Northern Virginia?

    Nope, still looking lol No one wants to touch a Plaid
