Placebo. It’s still there. I have both, .36.1 and the vibration.

Welp, I have tweeted it to Elon repeatedly, tweeted it to a dozen YouTubers and not a peep from anyone.

Yes, I am on 2022.36.6 and the vibration is just as bad (maybe worse; see below) as it's been since day one.
To be noted: I have noticed a significant degradation in under 45mph vibration the past couple of weeks. Mostly when coasting up to stop lights slowly. Last night I think I got my answer to the increase in "vibration". See thead here. This issue is NOT related to the original 45mph vibration issue.

I think your link isn't working. Which thread?
I think I have started to notice the vibration on regen as well recently. It used to only be on acceleration....

It munged my link and I can't seem to edit my post. Weird.
Anyway... 2021 Plaid - Here we go again! SSDD and tires...

Yep, I did all of that a year ago - same result. I decided to vote with my wallet/feet and purchased a Rivian. Sold a MYP to make room for it in the stable.

Met a Rivian Test Engineer today. Sounds like a pretty compelling vehicle, but they need to work the charging network.

Currently, it’s way over engineered, which as an engineer, I really like! Cost cutting business people haven’t yet sunk their teeth into this juicy morsel.
Yes, they don’t really have a “network” yet, but I’ve taken two long trips and used Walmart parking lot EA 150/350 charges without issue.

The first manufacturer that matches/exceeds the Plaid performance levels will likely get my business.
Tesla used to be a "personable" company (circa 2015), but have become more and more about sucking every last dollar out of me just because they could. Competiton should humble them a little (I hope). Things like free premium connectivity (now $10/mon), unlimited supercharging (now some confusing chart based on charging speed), convenient purchase/delivery options (now very inconvenient - maybe just in LA), on and on. Yeah, capitalism, supply and demand, building customer base, I get it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I'm ok with a lot of the "get it up and running" freebees going away (like free SC and connectivity). What I am really finding horribly distasteful is the utter disregard and lack of respect for the customer. It is our way or the highway which is going to lead to a lot of highway driving
Really sad to see as I love the engineering and execution. I gotta say, I'm also getting a huge bad taste in my mouth for E's politics. That stuff belongs in Apartheid SA (which luckily has been relegated to the past).

Agreed on customer service... I've never used Tesla roadside, but I gave a chance when I had the flat tire. 3 HOURS after getting a confirmation, I ended up canceling the call. I called my insurance roadside and was home in 45 minutes with my car. My 2015 buying experience was loads better than my 2021 experience. LA is likely the least Tesla friendly state in the US. I've heard rumors that you can no longer take delivery in LA or in a border-sharing state. I'm not even sure how they could enforce such a ridiculous rule. I pick up in Houston, but they offered flatbed to Lafayette.I'm ok with a lot of the "get it up and running" freebees going away (like free SC and connectivity).

Agreed this is my first Tesla and probably my last. I love the Plaid, she runs great (knock on wood), but the fit/finish and the constant service visits with weeks of delays to get in, to not fix anything, schedule another appointment when parts available, etc. It's a joke. They just don't care. I've been around the car circles and I can tell you Audi, Porsche, Mercedes, and Ferrari so far for me have given me good experiences. Chevy when I had my Corvettes you were just clumped in with the Cobalts and other cheap models no extra experience points.

Thankfully I’m almost 12k miles in and my vibration hasn’t been any worse than the 40-50mph range at low acceleration. I haven’t decided to mess with anything either as I’m not sure it won’t make them worse.
My factory PZeros are starting to make some noise though, they probably have about 8k miles on them since I had winters on for a while. Hopefully I don’t encounter what you all have had

I’m in the same boat and I’ve been through 5 Teslas in 2.5 years (currently own 2). I have to say that the BMW i7 has me really tempted (I do realize that is in no way a plaid replacement). It seems like another week another creak from the car in a new spot.

I'm leaning this way too. I'm actually considering getting a Lotus Emira or 918 GTS next year. I think for the roads round here they would be a lot more fun.
