Yep, appreciate it. Will do -- I'll try by first throwing it in autopilot mode at 85mph and verify the yoke vibration. Then I'll shift the power delivery to 100% aft to see if the vibration goes away. Do you feel like this would be a good test case?

Sure, I'll give it a go and report back.

So I think that is a different vibration than the 80+ mph one that I (and several others) are experiencing. I feel like the one you are referencing has to do with the motors where as mine is something steering rack / suspension related that no one can figure out.

No, I haven't but I think someone else on this forum had tried this with no luck. Very interesting. What I don't understand though is why it happens only at 85+ mph though (at least for me). I've got the car back from Tesla and I absolutely hate it with the yoke vibration. I agree with...

I see you're about to get a 2024. I would not take delivery until I had a chance to test drive it on the highway to ensure the yoke or wheel don't vibrate all the way up to at least 90mph. This might be a hard ask bit I wouldn't want to deal with service on this after taking delivery. You...

For me, purely in the steering yoke. If I took my hands off the yoke and didn't pay attention to it, I would never know that there was a vibration. I would hope that when the technician (master tech BTW) did his detailed diagnosis of the problem, he would have checked the inner tie rods and...

With regard to the round wheel, that's a GREAT question. Anyone have one they would like to let me try for the good of the community? :) I'm not sure about the toe values -- the tech noted that a 4 wheel alignment was performed (see my service sheet snippet above) but I'm not sure if he went...

2021. Approaching 50k miles.

Yep, Tesla has checked the runout of the wheels and didn't find any excessive runout. To everyone else, Tesla is ready to give me my car back without any solution, unfortunately. See below for what they checked and what they concluded. You can see their claim of another Model S Plaid in their...

If the road force variation is too high, I don't think they can be force matched that low. It all depends on how bad the initial road force variation is on the tire/wheel assembly and how much runout there is on the rim for force matching. The machine will estimate how much the new road force...

So question for you. When you get your wheel+tires road forced balanced, do you know know what each wheel/tire's road force variation (P value) ends up being? I'm pretty sure our cars are extremely sensitive to the road force variation. For example, Discount Tire's machine's are programmed to...

I see you have a 2024 MSP on order. Are you close to getting it? I'd love to hear your feedback on whether or not you feel any vibrations with the 2024.

I think you nailed it. It really sounds like there are worn bushings somewhere in the suspension / steering components but Tesla can't seem to figure it out (as of now). I've finally gotten the service center off of the misconception that it is my wheels and tires and they want to take...

To follow up, I drove my buddy's 2023 MSP with 5k miles (which again has the same Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s on factory 19" rims). Initial acceleration to 80+ and it felt pretty smooth (vibration free). I kept driving it at 80+ and also varied speeds and I noticed that some amount of vibration...

Nope, he has the 19s (so do I).

Yeah mine didn't at all for the first 30ish-k miles. I'm almost at 50k (about out of warranty) now and was hoping Tesla would have actually identified a fix by now. I'm going to try and drive my buddy's 2023 MSP which has the same Michelin Pilot Sport AS4s on it and see if I feel any hint of...

Mine is actually a 2021 MSP.

So a quick update. I went to another Discount Tire store and they took the time to try and get the road force value lower on the right tire/wheel assembly based on force matching. The lowest we got to on the right one was 16lbs of variation. For reference, the left one is no joke 4 lbs of...

Hi all -- I posted this in another thread which is a bit older but there is a lot more discussion in this one so I thought I'd post here too. I have a 2021 Model S Plaid with the 19" rims. I've had the steering yoke vibration for a while now but only at speeds in the upper 80s to about 90mph. I...

Hi all -- I see that this thread is a bit old. Has anyone successfully had this issue addressed? I have a 2021 Model S Plaid with the 19" rims. I've had the steering yoke vibration for a while now but only at speeds in the upper 80s to about 90mph. I switched from the summer Pirellis to the...
