[Solution Found] I have the exactly the same issue after change to a new set of good year eagle sports all season 21 inch. The smoother the road the more you can feel the shake above 80mph. I went though countless times of rebalance in 5 different tire shops (and did many times road force too).
Initially I though it was the tire out round, used the satisfactory warranty to change to a new set. Same problem. Then I though it might be the foam came lose inside so reinstalled the tires after ripped off the foam (noticeable road noise increase btw not worth it) . Problem still persist. Then complained again and exchanged to a 3rd set. the problem still didn't go away. Went to service center, test drove with a technician, verified the problem. After a day, they told they checked the suspension and brake (I told them some people say it might be the brake issue, brake drag or something, so I asked them to check the brakes) and nothing breaks. And then the SC said the shake is normal and within spec (LOL). Despite the fact that they verified the problem and didn't fix anything, they still wanted to charge me over $300 just to look at things. I refused to pay and told them, either you said this is normal and refuse to take it in, or admitting there's problem but didn't fix it. Either way I shouldn't pay. Then they called the service center manager to wave the charge. The manager then went on a test drive with me said he think it's still the balance problem despite I told him I did balance countless times already. He said he will personally do it for me right after the test drive. And... he fix it.
So the nuance here is that there are 2 types of balance: static and dynamic. Static assumes the wheel is a ring and the counter weight is put in the middle of the width of the wheel. Dynamic assumes the wheel is a roller so it needs to balance the inner rim and outer rim separately. Static is cheap, easy and fast, so most tire shops use it. You can probably get away with most of the thin wheels and tires on the market. But the new model s tire goes as wide as 295 in the back, it's definitely too wide to assume it's a ring. The mass is spread so far apart that the static balance can't balance both sides at once. The inner and outer rim needs to balanced separately.
Apparently most of the balancing machine is capable doing dynamic balancing with a mode change. The tire shops are just too lazy or untrained to realize for this wide tires they need to do dynamic balancing.
I’ve tested both my stock 21” Arachnids with PS4S and my stock 19” with winter tires (Tesla package) and get the yoke vibration at 80mph. I’m about to swap out the wheels and tires for some SV-104s so we’ll see if that’s any better.Good info. Would have been interesting to see if this fixed my vibrating Plaid that got bought back. Too late now
I think the key is swapping wheels and tires with someone that doesn't have the vibration. I definitely did not have it on my '21 Plaid... We'll see about the new one.I’ve tested both my stock 21” Arachnids with PS4S and my stock 19” with winter tires (Tesla package) and get the yoke vibration at 80mph.

That would be more ideal. Sadly, don't know anyone to swap wheels with.I think the key is swapping wheels and tires with someone that doesn't have the vibration. I definitely did not have it on my '21 Plaid... We'll see about the new one.
Do you have a local Tesla owners group?That would be more ideal. Sadly, don't know anyone to swap wheels with.
Yeah but really... I'm not going to put anyone through that. lol.Do you have a local Tesla owners group?
Some shops will do it if you ask. Just make sure if you have 19" and larger rotors they don't mount it in the path of the calipers ... already went through this.So the nuance here is that there are 2 types of balance: static and dynamic.

Why does dynamic balancing take more effort? The machine that does it still does it in about the same time but is more sophisticated because it uses 3-axis to measure the balance front to back as well as around the circumference. The machine still does this measurement for the tech and tells them where to distribute the weights.
Dynamic balancing also doesn't include putting some sort of load on the tire. Are you sure you're not referring to an altogether difference balancing technique.
It almost sounds like you're talking about road force balancing.
Balancing tires | Continental Tires
Proper tire balance will distribute weight equally around the entire circumference of the tire. Unbalanced wheels cause vibrations and premature wear.www.continental-tires.com
Just speak from my experience. I did road force 3 times in different shops and still didn't have the problem fixed. When I asked the SC manager who solved the problem, he told me that my tires were way off balance when he did the dynamic balancing though statically it was still balanced.
Edit: I see 2021 is in the title. Well, I didn't have this problem on my 2021. Hopefully won't have it on the 2024!Road force balancing is a superset of dynamic. i.e. it already includes dynamic balancing but also takes into account the balance of the tire with the sidewall compressed on the bottom as the tire rotates. My suspicion is that whomever did your road force balancing before stopped before they got an acceptable balance. The MS Palladium is probably more sensitive than typical requiring few lbs of diff.
Dynamic is less than road force. Dynamic doesn't include rollar load.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
