Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

[RussZTT]

I had a 5mm spacer on the rear of my plaid and they cracked. Poor quality. Threw them in the trash.

Use washers.

Use washers.

Normally I would recommend against this, but because the wheels are NOT hubcentric (although I'm not sure why they aren't) and Tesla is relying on the studs and conical lug nuts to center the wheels, I don't see a negative. Only possible drawback is that the torque the wheels apply to the studs is further out and more direct on the lugs. Even though there is no mechanism for centering the wheel on the hub, just having the wheel pulled tight against the hub offers some friction.

So, RussZTT, you lowered and used washers to space out the wheels?

No, the subject is about the vibrations at lower speeds. The washers I was speaking about is using them behind the camber arms instead of the N2itive camber arms, not to push the wheels out more.

I'm not sure what this vibration thing is, but I'd say that the Model X sounds and feels like a gentle diesel engine idling when the HVAC fan is at speed 3 or faster Much other than that I haven't been able to isolate any "vibration".

Did Tesla put in a webasto? /s

I installed the "FSD/s" since it was free. Now I'm so preoccupied with keeping it from getting in an accident, I don't notice the 40ish vibes anymore.

Or perhaps it's because my foot is off the accelerator pedal mostly, hovering over the brake.

Tesla has approved my buyback. Good riddance lol

Now should I get a Highland Ludicrous or MYP?

What are you looking for in a car?

Highland ludicrous. I don't see any reason to get a Model Y, unless it's just for hauling families around and you don't care about performance.

Yeah I’m going to grab a Highland for the night to try out. Leaning towards the sedan

Test drove one at my recent service drop-off. It is nice, but not Model S nice. If you want some of the more "luxurious" features (instrument cluster, air suspension, etc), the S still reigns supreme. Service advisor called it a "S-lite" and that mostly true. Was extremely quiet. They bring that to the Y and I might consider it.

I wouldn't buy the Highland for a year since bleeding edge, especially after a bad experience. Thus I'd go for a solid Y.
