Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

[jebinc]

Installed 2023.44.30.5.1. (from 2023.27.12). The 38-50mph vibration remains, but at a different frequency/wavelength When I set suspension to medium, it gets worse. When I go into track mode and slide the "handling" slider all the way to the right (rear bias) it goes away. Pretty disappointed with this over-hyped, but no fix. YOMV.

Is that even with lowering links?

Yes, I left the lowering links in. As you may recall, I pulled the rear links over a year ago and doing so made no difference. The front links are set only to drop it a little. Bottom line (more me) is this fix is worse than before the fix (overall impression). YMMV.

Odd. My brand new Plaid did have the vibration from the factory, and it's pretty much undetectable since the update. The cold start vibration is very much there. Don't have the 80mph one (and hope that one never develops since that would probably ruin the ownership for me)

 

[SDRick]

I wonder if it's worth doing a poll whether the update solved the midrange vibration under light throttle problem?

Fortunately for me now, it's a nonissue. I hope the same for everyone else but hope appears not to be enough in a few cases.

I've been driving on it for two days now and haven't noticed the vibration yet. I'll keep trying though. I don't want to call it good just yet.

I wonder if links now make it worse given Tesla is tuning this for “fix” for stock vehicles? I have the same drop as @jebinc, just in the front. I’ll find out how good/bad it is when I get to drive my car again on Tuesday.

0 issues on mine stock configuration. Thought I had an issue at around 135mph on an on ramp but turns out it was my wife screaming and vibrating next to me.

 

[PABresler]

I had a vibration issue which went away...either calibration or an update.

Please. Stop. Rationalizing. For. Tesla.

Oh I’m not. Just that yours is the only one that’s gotten worse since the update. Trying to figure out why. Either people are oblivious and Tesla apologist or your car with links and having been messed with in terms of suspension- is a problem.

WISH I COULD DRIVE MY CAR RIGHT NOW AAAAAAHHHHH!

I would say, "not better... and worse on Medium setting (as compared to my pre .44 low setting)". Recall, I can not remember the last time I drove on the medium setting. After the "Fix," vibration felt on medium setting is "worse" then pre .44 driving on the low setting.

I just got back in from a couple hours of running around town since my last post. I drove on a super smooth road near me where I can normally reproduce the vibration and I didn't even feel a hint of it. I hope it stays gone lol

A local friend of mine with a 21 claims his is still vibrating around 45mph after the update and does it every time.

Yep, mine is a 2021 and still vibrates like a MoFo.

I installed .44 ( from .32?) the other day.

I did not feel a single vibration since it got cold s couple of months back. This means, mee not noticing any difference at least yet.

Wish I had a car right now.

My Plaid gone, waiting on a new one.

My Plaid gone, waiting on a new one.

That probably works to 100% for geting rid of the vibrations, but not the prefered way I guess - good vibrations also lost

Wish my Plaid was gone, and me not taking a bath to see it gone.

 

[aerodyne]

That's a bath I can't afford to take. Vibrations still there after update, maybe a little less.

Are you sure they are a little less, or is that your subconscious working overtime to soothe the pain from being mislead, once again, by Tesla? .44 a fix for the vibration, my @$$.
