Plaid X Vibration at beginning of each drive: Who is experiencing this?

[chudiddy]

I've determined that a bunch of Plaid X owners are experiencing some sort of vibration that you can feel in the pedal during the first few mins of every drive. I don't know if any Refresh LR owners are experiencing this but if so please reply. The vibration usually lasts for a few mins or miles then seems to go away but if I stop at a store or something then get back in a start driving again, the vibration occurs again for the first few mins then goes away.

It's been happening to mine since day 1 and thought it had something to do with the suspension or just overall "warming up" of the motors but its been a few weeks since I took delivery and it hasn't gone away. I currently have 600 miles on my car.

I have mobile service coming on next week to check it out so I will report back with what they find.

Please reply below if you are experiencing this and be sure to note Plaid or LR and how many miles are currently on your car.

Hopefully it doesn't become an issue but would like to gauge how many owners are currently experiencing this. Thanks

I have the same issue on my 90 mile 2022 Plaid X build date Jan 22. Definetly something strange going on first few minutes driving, and then it appears to be fine. When I adjust my suspension to very low it actually gets worse. But as said, after a few minutes, it seems to go away.

Is this the acceleration shudder?

Is this the acceleration shudder?

“Shudder” doesn’t go away with time.

Although the car might start at normal height and after a few minutes of driving lower itself reducing shudder.

Also it makes no sense for the pedal to vibrate. It has no linkage or feedback to vibrate with. It’s an input sensor.

Ah, didn't know that Just trying to help.

I def feel something in the pedal but to reiterate, it goes away after a few mins or at about a mile of driving or so. No vibration in the yoke but def a hum from what I suspect are the front motors that then probably translates into a slight vibration in the pedal. Service appt on Tuesday so ill be sure to report back.

I have an acceleration shudder at 35-42 mph... lots of model s owners are sharing the same experience:

Picking up Plaid X on Saturday, and have the issue with the Plaid S right now, so I’ll let you all know if I experience the same vibration. It’s becoming really bothersome honestly, because i feel like something, that i don’t know of yet, may be worsening.

I have the same situation but own a LR

No. I had a 2018 Model X with the shudder - (had suspension components replaced and it went away). This is NOT that shudder. This feels like you're driving over a very fine gravel road.

Maybe it's one of three things:

1. When I first got my M3 I noticed humming at low speeds which I assume was either resonance from the motors or heat pump compressor. Don't notice it any more. Maybe it went away or maybe I don't drive slow anymore
   
2. "Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!
3. Model Y Easy and effective low frequency fix

Give it time. It will grow in frequency of occurrence, magnitude, and speed ranges effected as you approach and pass 2000 miles. Ask any suffering Refreshed model S or Plaid owner who has this affliction - and there are many.

Tesla’s current position is, “this vibration is a normal characteristic of the refreshed Model S and Plaid, specifically; no further repairs are recommended”.

Oh, and new half shafts DO NOT fix it permanently.

Be sure to report your vibration to your SC and to DriveTesla’s “tip” line, [email protected]

Refresh Model S owners growing increasingly frustrated with vibrations that Tesla has not been able to fix

According to dozens of refresh Model S owners (both Long Range and Plaid) on the TMC forums and many more on Reddit and Facebook, the electric sedan suffers from a pronounced vibration in the accelerator […]

Hope this helps you all, and us model S sufferers.

Are you going to take it in for service and report the issue?

 

[yerEVan]

Are you going to take it in for service and report the issue?

yes. i’m waiting on parts for initial delivery issues and will add it when i take it in. maybe a week away.

Tesla SC don’t like last minute add ons. I’d add it now. They might bump it to another appt.
