2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

[n2mb_racing]

More utter nonsense from Tesla. You can be parked and crank some music with heavy bass, and the mirror will still shake.

Did the prior generation model S mirror shake? I should compare to our model 3.

The other question is if the passenger side vibrates as much, but it may not be as obvious since it has a wide angle effect that reduces the effect of vibration.

I do not recall mine shaking on my 2019 LR S. But then again, I was not looking for it.

But the fact that the passenger side does not shake means there is an issue. Although, I guess you are pointing out that there would be a long history of it shaking and it is more a "feature" than an issue at this point.

Well, it's hard to directly compare the drivers and passenger side. The same amount of shaking would appear more obvious on the driver's side vs the passenger side: "Passenger-side mirrors are curved slightly outward (convex), while driver-side mirrors are flat. Passenger-side mirrors are convex in order to give the driver a wider field of view and minimize blind spots."

Thus, the convex mirror on the passenger side would make the same amount of vibration appear to be less in the reflection.

Just poke the mirror with your finger - the drivers side mirror has more play than the passenger side.

If you don't adjust it often and don't use tilt for reverse, just jam a small piece of foam into the gap in the housing for the true ghetto workaround

Neither my 2014 Model S P85D nor my 2019 Model 3 Performance had this issue.

Yeah, I can't say I've seen anything like it before either. I don't know what they changed in the mirror...

Yoke still buzzes.
Console cubby light still backwards.

And it still vibrates like a SoB!

you still didn't get a buyback?

 

[yerEVan]

I wonder if this explains the 80MPH whistling noise. See 6:45…

No buyback is they deem the affliction “normal,” which they have.

Finally bit the bullet and trimmed 3/4” off my Tesla OEM mud flaps. No more scraping every time I pull into my driveway.
With very high suspension, still only 3-1/4” ground clearance.

I had mirror shake on my Model X. Have it on my 2022 Model S but not 2021 MYP

What a difference 3/4” makes
Did a bit more driving with the trimmed mud flaps.
Absolutely no scraping anymore. Not even over Speed Bumps.
It even used to scrape on hard turns (occasionally)
Now wondering if the effectiveness is dramatically reduced?

for what it's worth, my console lights are working correctly and yoke does not buzz on my March 2022 build. I am on 2022.12.3.1.

Maybe they finally fixed these things....

I just updated to 2022.12.3.1 and the yoke buzz is gone again. However, my car hasn't gone to sleep yet. That was what brought back the buzz, so I'll wait and see after it has had a deep sleep cycle.

And two days after the 2022.12.3.1 update, the yoke buzz is back. It seems like it comes back after the car goes into a deep sleep state and shuts down the yoke MCU. I'd guess the yoke MCU isn't getting updated correctly. It's happened to me twice now. It works for 1-2 days after the software update, then stops working correctly after the car has a chance to fully power down.

The mirror did not shake in my previous two Model S cars. Luckily, it has not shaken, yet, in my current LR MS.

My driveway is like an arch. I have to use high suspension setting when I pull in reverse into my driveway. Now that you mention it I think my Tesla OEM mud flaps make a noise too. I have just a tad more than an inch clearance.
