I suppose worse case I start reaching out to all the big EV youtubers and bring this to their attention. I really would rather have Elon acknowledge this but our 100K+ cars should work perfectly.

"Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!
Another drive tonight. Still much improved vibration symptoms in Medium, vs Low. Not perfect, of course, but much better. Still a tad annoying, but nowhere near as annoying as Low. Tried medium and low with my 21 Plaid. No difference. If anything, medium is worse. Version 2022.12.3.20

@MorrisonHiker You guys have anyone on the inside who can help with this? Really still trying not to notify all the other YouTube folks but Elon isnt acknowledging my tweets soooooo kind of grasping at straws.

Apparently nobody does. And, alas, Tesla has made it clear it doesn't care about its (premium) customers.

Once they do figure it out the ship will have sailed. Premium customers won’t accept subpar product and/or service.

I agree. More choice is coming, and coming quickly.

Yep, for example VW will have 22 electric models for sale in the US by 2019, lol.

Not many that are as fast, though. Taycan Sapphire, but it's $250k...
Lucid Air Sapphire, - but to be fair the name is pretty sweet for any manufacturer. Just waiting for Elon to troll Lucid by stating the Model S is actually short for Model Sapphire.

Whooops. Typo.Lucid Air Sapphire, - but to be fair the name is pretty sweet for any manufacturer. Just waiting for Elon to troll Lucid by stating the Model S is actually short for Model Sapphire.
I was also thinking about the Taycan, but fully loaded it is also $200k+.
When porsche updates the Taycan turbo S I’m absolutely certain it will run 9s. At that point the value of quality over pure acceleration will take over for me.Not many that are as fast, though. Taycan Sapphire, but it's $250k...
Not to mention, plaids acceleration is mostly neutered for daily driving. I can blast up to 60 or possibly 80 before I’m at major risk from LE.

The Taycan still doesn't have the practicality of the Model S, but it's likely, - if Tesla keeps up this nonsense, my next car will not be a Tesla. I'm astonishingly disappointed in them lately. The unfortunate thing is they're really close to greatness, but the churn of vehicles without QC or proper pre/post-sales support is just a travesty, and there's no doubt it will bite them in the rear end eventually.

Well, sh!t.. I thought I was clear of the vibration issue even with over 15,000 miles on the odo. Then Tesla replaces my left-front air suspension module under warranty due to a rattle, and the vibration is now present.
Does it make any sense to even try to ask Tesla for a fix? Or do we not have a full resolution for this yet?

Was the rattle almost like a roar when accelerating? I’m just starting to notice in plaid mode, when accelerating that the car is making a rattle/roar sound when really pushing hard on accelerator in front left. Above 50. Not the normal vibration.
