Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

[uthatcher]

2022 MXP is doing it as well. I’ve been trying to track the vibration some. It seems when the car goes to sleep it comes back. But not for like 5-20 minutes…seems it needs to be an hour or so. But for whatever reason, the longer is sleeps the worse it is. To an extent anyway…I’m sure if it sat for a month the wheels wouldn’t vibrate off.

Also, the amount of speed does not seem to matter and the vibration is gone within 1/2-3/4 mile. And as others have noticed, when it’s gone, it’s completely gone.

At least you only have to endure it for a very short period of time, unlike the rest of us with the forever 43 mph vibration.

Don’t be so sure. It is a Tesla which means it’s within spec.

I guess I should have said "kinda" sure. I'm really not sure about much in life and the wheels not falling off my Tesla is far from seeming a sure thing.

Yeah, I think the issues are separate. Something makes me thing the vibration we're feeling is battery/electrical motor related. That is purely speculation on my behalf, but there's something making me lean that direction. It does not come across as a half-shaft or axle or bearing related.

Does it also go away in track mode with rear torque bias? Mine vibration is extremely strong now, after the second half shaft replacement. But, it goes away completely in track mode with the torque biased to the rear.

Half shaft replacement definitely isn’t the fix/solution to the older vibration issue.

MXP doesn't have track mode so I really can't say. Maybe @WilliamG could answer that accurately.

I haven’t checked on my 2022. But on my 2021 it did. The vibration is so bad on my 2022 I can feel it at any speed above ~38mph.

Wow, that’s amazing. Normal design and manufacturing learning curves don’t seem to apply to Tesla, only inverse ones.

Yup. Just rubbish.

That's great I love it!!!!

Anyways almost 12,000 miles later still get it at low 40 MPH range. It's so subtle I've just about ignore it these days. Car drives great.

Lucky you. Mine is so obvious I want to punch a kitten.

Don’t you dare!

Well, if they do vibrate off, at least someone out there will understand the realness of the struggle: Toyota tells American bZ4X electric crossover owners to park their cars immediately [Updated]

Yup goes completely away. Tesla can totally fix this with a throttle curve update

Yeah, that's the annoying part. A simple software fix would hide the problem at least we'll enough for now.

Or at least mask it long enough to make it your problem when it fails out of warranty.
