No just to be clear, what I'm saying is post fix the Plaid is pretty much imperceptible (I say pretty much because very rarely I do feel something that is reminiscent of the vibration, but I can't reliably trigger it). LR is also improved, but not to the same degree as the Plaid, so as it stands it is now worse than the Plaid. Both are improved compared to prior to the 2023.44 update.
For me, the update that worked was selling it to a Nissan dealer for $67k. ZERO regrets!
Turns out, I did unload it. Gone! AMF!“Can’t be bothered” because I know it would be a waste of time; time that I would never get back!
Yes, “annoying af”! My solution is to walk past the PoS as I hop into a problem-free Rivian R1T. If my $145k PoS were not only worth $53k (per Tesla), I would unload it, post haste. That’s also “annoying af”!!
Paid $145k, w/FSDj. Tesla offered $53k, yeah, $53k! Carvana offered $61k. Using KBB “Instant cash” the offer was just under $61k, but one of their program Nissan Stealerships offered $67k, no questions asked. Dropped it off, picked up check and was in/out in 15 minutes.
Nobody has ever proven that it’s axle geometry, by the way. it has already been established that if you set the power to the rear vibration is completely gone. I think the issue is with the front motor and resonance at different frequencies. Now, the angle of the front motor seems to play a part because lowering the car does make a difference, but that is not the root cause of the issue as far as anyone has been able to tell.
I think others have noted retrofitting track pack also fixes it. Assuming that’s not due to a track pack software change, I wonder if the floating rotors are able to soak up some play from the front motor or something along those lines.
I'm not reading too much into those reports, if I'm honest. The TSB from December did do some things to the vibration. Shifted it around, changed the speeds it happens at etc. It's all a bit more murky now, with a few mile EPA drop for... more mystery.
