I am so bummed. The S is the only Tesla I have ever been interested in. Everything about it is so cool, looks too bitchin on the road, the driving position, the ride, the space! I guess I will drive my S75 into the ground. However, When version 12 was delayed a bit for us legacy owners until...

I am pretty sure much of this to be true? Drew is the one who retrofitted the front motor into the Model S. The Model S was initially designed as a rear wheel drive sedan. The front cradle was not designed to hold a motor. So he had to mount it very high. The resulting steep angles in the...

There is nothing wrong with the Watertown service center! I have had nothing but good service from them. Change the title of this thread. Tesla is not GM or FORD. No whining!

^ What he said!

The Cybertruck should qualify for the $7,500 EV Truck rebate in Massachusetts. Combined with the $7,500 Federal rebate that means a new Dual Motor will be $65K in MA! Pick-Ups and Class 2b Vehicles | MOR-EV.org

Line from B-pillar to tailgate is not a straight line, its bowed slightly. So is the rear roof window, its slightly convex. See the red lines in this picture.

Yes its a great deal, if it has none of the vibration issues that plague the front motors of refreshed Model S's. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/refreshed-model-s-model-vibration-tracking-and-information-thread.249344/...

Here is what we heard from the team at the store (no need to tell us most of what they say is inaccurate) - At the door they ask you to sign in (so they can message you to buy a Tesla). They ask if you have a reservation and if you do, they claimed that because you came to the showroom, when...

1/ - Cybertruck at Boston Store 11/26/2023. It was so bitchin to see. To me it is about the size I imagined. The rear end looks actually good in person, despite not liking it in pictures.

The Software Update theory has been discussed, search this thread for "software update".

OMG the reports on the Model S from the refresh on are so disappointing. They range from this suspension harshness, to the bad inside tire wear problem, to the three different severe front vibration issues...each of which have multiple dedicated threads here on TMC. My 2017 S75 RWD has none of...

Oh you mean you have a 2017 S without premium sound? I have a 2017 with premium sound. What I would do is look at the shop manual. You should be able to identify the differences between the two configurations and just buy the additional/differing parts. I bet the harnesses are the same. I would...

How could it be a software issue? How could the drive electronics be altered to avoid vibration? By avoiding some resonance the poles in the motor produce at certain RPMs? Makes no sense.

I stuck my fastlane transponder on under underside of the rear parcel shelf. The velcro on the transponder sticks directly to the fabric. Works fine.

Oh right "ultrasonic". "Ultrasound" reminds me of the ass kicking dual sub Atmos(7.4.2) sound system that will be in the Cybertruck. :) DirtyTesla just did an extensive comparison of the ultrasonic sensors verses TelsaVision. It appears to be a mixed bag. They both have their pluses and...

What is "ultrasound"?

Clearly the universal joints in the half-shafts are operating at too high an angle. Of the "fixes" you propose, I agree the ultimate solution is a redesign of the front drive system that starts with lowering the drive unit and includes tighter tolerance needle bearings in the half-shaft...

Sounds risky. You might want to hold onto the Plaid you have that does not vibrate...

The best source, the multiple threads on this forum that thoroughly cover this topic that includes hundreds of pages and thousands of posts by owners experiencing two distinct vibration issues in the Model S, the 35-40 mph slow acceleration problem and the 60-80 mph fast acceleration problem.

"thicker foam" ... right, that will do it! Good luck with the Lemon Law filing. We are on the edge of our seats...

If you live in a state that requires a front plate, why in the name of ****, would one want to provide a reason for the cops to pull you over !?

So could you :)

We will support you. I want to upgrade my Model S but cannot until this is addressed and resolved.

Should work fine. Just test it. I have mine velcrowed to the bottom of the rear parcel shelf in my Model S and to the back of the rear seat in my Model Y.

2023.12.11 is FSD Beta 11.3.6, but not the latest 11.4.x version. Asumming I understand this correctly... Since you are already on the 2023.12.x version, to get 11.4.x, you will have to wait until there is an 11.4.x branch off the 2023.12.x branch you have. 2023.7.5 (FSD Beta 11.4.1) 2023.12.9...

Thanks for the input! 2023.7.5 (FSD Beta 11.4.1) 2023.12.9 (non-FSD) [on my Model Y] 2023.12.10 (FSD Beta 11.3.6) 2023.12.11 (FSD Beta 11.3.6) 2023.7.10 (FSD Beta 11.4.2) 2023.7.15 (FSD Beta 11.4.3) [on my Model S] The question is, weather or not I get 11.3.6 now, how long will it take to get...

Sorry for not understanding the FSD upgrade path (after reading many threads). And double sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask. If understand correctly in order to get FSD, the FSD version must be later than the non-FSD version currently on the car. And if it is earlier, one is to refuse...

11.4.3 is better than 11.4.2 for several of my edge cases. One is path planning is more human like when turning on to another road and lining up with the lane and at the right speed. That said, I do not think it is relevant to judge incremental minor version to version changes for each of our...

I am soo bummed to hear that...I don't know what to say. I was really hoping your tighter speced half-shafts would fix this 35-40 mph light acceleration vibration problem. And now you have additional suspension issues!? And jebinc's tag is "Endlessly Vibrating MS PLAID"!. Dammit! I wanted to...

The Wheel Fix 55 Pond St. Unit 7 Waltham, MA 02451 781-472-2339 Nick is the owner. These guys are great. In addition to mounting and balancing, they have repaired the curb rash on several of my Arachnids. I think they would mount any tire that met the load rating. That said, I have only asked...

During service for my S in my driveway today, when I explained the (low speed) vibration problem to the TESLA Mobile service technician, including the "lowering kit" potential solution. He said, that 'lowering kits can confuse the air bag deployment logic' and then said something about premature...

I grew up in the Bay Area during the 60s, 70s and 80s. No one tinted their windows. What is the point with tint? I can see tinting a glass roof, we didn't have those. But not being able to communicate with the drivers is a hazard. Are you afraid of being seen? Not interested in interacting with...

I have a 2017 S75, purchased new. The front drive train on the S75D I test compared at the time, plus the problems reported then about Model X front vibrations, contributed to me buying the S75 RWD. Other reasons included a lighter front end and only giving up 0.1 seconds in 0-60 time between...

Thank You! Confirmation the vibration stems from too high an angle of the CV joints in the half shafts. The ultimate fix is either a higher quality part or a re-design of the front drive train that includes lowering the motor and reducing the CV joint angles. In the mean time lowering the car...

So bummed to hear this. I really want to get a Plaid. Its obviously something in the front drive train, half shaft angle, part tolerance, something. Its not in all cars and its consistent in those effected, so this is very identifiable and fixable. Come on guys...Tesla...lets fix this. If it...

Nice! Which detector? where is the radar unit? How do you control it?

Speaking of playlist support, I have recently (mostly) solved my long standing problem of playlist support. After some research, I stumbled upon this MUSCONV app, Transfer Your Playlists, Albums Between 50+ Music Services. MUSCONV is a Windows app (fat client) that converts (and syncs) playlists...

Here are some comparisons of bit rate for the various sources on our Teslas. https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1111/apple-music-audio-quality-in-your-tesla-compared-to-spotify-and-tidal TIDAL wins by a long shot amongst streamers.

The USB player interface has been pathetic from day one. Five years ago I asked for playlist support... The days of asking for, let alone getting, changes are long gone. I doubt the USB player interface will ever get any attention. Why would it? Apple Music is what people want. Nobody listens to...

Sorry, what do you mean by "fix it so that albums aren't split into multiple albums via artist?" FYI: My go to tag editor has been Mp3tag for decades, Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...) It supports batch tag-editing of ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, iTunes MP4, WMA, Vorbis...

How about we hire Sandy Munro to document the issue and suggest likely fixes (my theories include too steep universal joint angles and/or un-equal length half-shafts). We send the results to Elon, and if that doesn't work, we gather owners experiencing the issue, and those that have been granted...

So far ... there are are other actions.
