POLL: vibration felt when slightly accelerating refresh Mode S Plaid or LR

[jebinc]

I have them. But some people with the 19s also have the vibration. And even with aftermarket wheels.

I’ve had all three aforementioned wheels and tires on mine. Vibration unchanged. Not tires or wheels.

I bet you I could find the vibration in ALL 50 of the cars that people said they didn't have the vibration in in the poll on the first page.

I concur.

I would actually say no. I drove a '22 LR and tried to get it to vibrate and I could not. And I know exactly what causes the vibration and what it feels like. I couldn't reproduce it on my friends car.

How many miles on the car you drove?

I think over 4,000 miles. It was a '22.

Sounds like a LR in the making...

He's got 5,500 miles. No vibration.

Does make me wonder if something has been addressed in later builds or if some cars just take longer to exhibit the problem. Turned up for me at around 1200 miles in my ‘21 Plaid.

For your car, is the vibration less when the suspension on the lowest setting?

Yes for me. It's almost entirely gone with the car lowered 0.75" below low.

Standard line of BS I’ve been hearing for six months now. They can’t be working on it too hard, if at all. Remember, it took SEVEN long years for them to address the legacy model S shutter issue, and only “sort of”.

Not for me. I didn’t have aftermarket links though. The only thing that completely eliminated it for me was Track Mode with full rear bias.

Been doing so. No interest and no influencer is willing to pick it up.

Same. @jbteslaman

7500 miles and no vibration. I will switch over to summer tires & 21" wheels in a few weeks. Fingers crossed the issue doesn't materialize.

I wish you were local to me. I bet you have the vibration but you just don't know it.

I see the far left and the far right are in a contest to see who can overreact to this the most.

I believe the far left is winning but the far right is trying to close the distance.

I would rather have it and not know it than have it and know it. lol
April 22 Plaid 1400 miles. I am pretty particular and can feel a very slightly out of balanced tire better than most. So far no vibration.

I was convinced that everyone has it, then I drove a '22 LR that the owner said didn't have it and I confirmed, his car really doesn't have the vibration. Some cars don't vibrate. It must come down to manufacturing tolerances.
