2021+ Model S and Model S Plaid Refresh Issues Thread

You are under warranty and they generally keep that part in stock

Yeah I won't be able to just ignored it, it's quite loud, I will ask service to fix it.

I had this part replaced 2 times thinking something was wrong. I still have the same exact buzzing even after each replacement so yes it IS normal. Agreed it's annoying when you're sitting in a quiet parking lot or something.

Hmm. I don't have this buzzing. Maybe if I were to really put my ear near the wireless charger, but I can't hear anything from the drivers seat, even with the air off.

I wonder if it’s the capacitive buttons in the steering yolk/wheel that you’re hearing as some people complained about that.

No. two separate issues. the yolk buzz issue has been long fixed (via software). The fan buzz comes from the passenger side of the wireless charger.

Thankfully that one is fixed. That bugged me for a long time. Eventually I got service to replace my yoke because of it.

I can hear the buzzing even when sitting in the back seats.

Idk if this has been posted yet. Those suffering Yoke material issues. Apparently Tesla is working on a revised version that will be out end of November. Tesla is replacing my yoke again (second time) and will replace it once again when the new version is out that has better material at the top where it is tending to fail.

I haven't had my car in for service in almost a year! But it's going in in a few weeks for seat/yoke calibration issues, the fabric behind the yoke is all disconnected, the yoke sometimes won't adjust, side cameras (again) ... but all in all they seem responsive to fix each time under warranty

That's good, although they've been saying that a new yoke is coming since the spring... But, hopefully. I'll take a wheel when mine fails.

They are refusing to fix my squeaky suspension, so I am pursuing a lemon law buyback.

That's odd. I had squeaky suspension when going up driveways/bumps but the service center actually fixed this one problem. Your service centers have tried to fix it but can't figure it out or they're just flat out refusing for whatever reason?

Had the seat belt recall done by Mobile. A real nothing burger.

Belt attachment indicator not intuitive, I suspect that caused the problem on some cars.

My only significant problem is the oft mentioned rear seat rattle. I'll fix that one day myself.

No vibes yet at 38-42 or 80. But then, I'm always in chill mode.

My LR was working fine until today; all of the sudden I am getting "Vehicles Hold Features unavailable" and "Cruise Control disabled" errors. The fact that 1) this came out of the blue (I didn't mess with any settings), 2) side and back cameras seems to be working when viewing through the screen - yet no visualizations/traffic lights on the front dashboard (and no autopilot) make me wonder if both are related and perhaps a software issue.

I tried restarting and shutdown the car, to no avail.

Here's the kicker: the earliest service appointment I can schedule is on 10/20/23 - one month out!!! so much for Elon promising new focus on service quality...

The car drives just fine otherwise. Anyone else getting this or am I the one one?

I am on 2023.32.1

Those are safety related alerts. They will get you in asap. I suggest just taking it directly to your service center.

I am taking my car in for the seat belt recall and thought I would check on the new yoke. They just told me to check in December for the revised yoke.

I swear I’ve read people got a new revised yoke already. Wonder what it is they actually got?

Use mobile service to avoid the SvC "Experience" it's less than 5 min for the seatbelt inspection.

Paying any attention to Elon's promises after all this years, is..."Just Insane"

May have a broken sensor also.
