Yeah, I am pretty sure a software update could fix the 40-50 mph vibration, since putting my car in track mode with rear bias will eliminate it. So, there is at least one software solution that will eliminate it, although it is kind of a hack. It might also reduce efficiency, since the rear motors are less efficient than the front motor.
Yes. The first two might be related. Not sure if track mode gets rid of that one.
“Cold grease,”now that’s the best line of BS I’be heard Tesla offer in a looooong while!
Sadly the refreshed S is just a vibrating MoFo!
Probably could have left off the word, "refreshed," as the statement would still have been true (sadly)....
Your vibration is not the vibration this tread is about. There are plenty of "tires not balanced" threads (smile)....
Yes, but people are terrible at differentiating root causes
At 22 pages have we been able to tell the root cause of any vibration?
I'm pretty convinced the root cause of the 40-50 mph vibration under light acceleration is the half shafts, since replacing them temporarily eliminates the vibration and lowering the car reduces the vibration.
It may be the cause of the vibration but i do not the root cause. Something upstream causing the shafts to warp. Would explain why they don’t vibrate when new then develops shortly thereafter
Lowering the car may not have anything to do with it other than the angle of vibration from the motor itself changes. Mine is lowered and still has the vibration. Also, it’s possible there’s specific tolerances between the shafts and the motor that when replaced are met temporarily - or not, as some people have worse vibration after. We just don’t know.

don’t think the shafts are warped as you can turn the vibration off with rear bias
