But… most people do not notice the vibration anyway. So you’d get inaccurate responses, sadly.

Mine now developed it after 800 miles. VIN MF452xxx, built Oct 20th, 2021. I voted in the poll. I'll bring it to the service center next week to address all my post-delivery issues. I'll see what they say about this.
@n2mb_racing Thanks for letting us know what the SC says, re the annoying vibration. Still looking for a 2022 owner to report having it.
Trying to refine the data collection on this vibration issue.

Another data point.
I have repeatedly tried to feel the vibration on smooth roads. So far I have not been able to detect it.

2021 Model S Long Range vin last 6 MF4334xx, MFG date 06/21. 2021.44.6 Noticed the vibration leaving the Tesla Dealer upon delivery. 2 service appoints both times they claim vibration is normal. Hard to believe a 100k vehicle would be engineered to have vibration under acceleration as a “Feature”. I’ve owned M3 Dual Motor and MY Performance neither had the vibration and groaning sound feature. Most repeatable under about 1/4-1/2 accelerator press from 38mph and up. Seems at its worst if climbing a steep hill at around 68-72 MPH, because of the need for additional power the vibration will continue the entire time up the hill. Launching is dramatic, however with all the variables I can’t say that it’s any worse. There is absolutely something wrong, guests in my Tesla MS LR Refresh have commented, quote “That doesn’t sound good”. Tesla is losing ground, even with fans such as myself. This Model S may be for sale in near future.

Agreed. Not normal. My Model S P90DL didn't have this vibration, nor my P3D or my RWD model 3. They messed something up in the design of the new drive shafts.

Yeah, they don't really test these changes enough before putting them into production. It should have been easy to catch this in testing. They should have also noticed the buzz from the yoke, the passenger door not closing right, the hooting from the rear view mirror...

To be fair, my passenger door not closing without more force fixed itself as it got used more. It’s the rubber gasket which the window hits that is causing it. If you put the passenger window down it fixes it, as does just through use.

Interesting. Mine seems different. I think mine is from the triangular glass hitting the gasket. I don't think rolling down the window helps. Yeah, it's gotten a bit better with usage, but it still takes more force than the other three doors by a lot.

All gasket related that I can tell. It really did help most if not all people just using it more and more. My wife is the one on the passenger side most often so she had mentioned it a lot right when I got the car. Always having to open and close the door with more force…
But not in a while now.
