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

I'll have to read the procedure. Previously they had a break in that required some full throttle accelerations.

This issue discussed here is nothing to do with Sport/Auto/Comfort whatever. It vibrates the same in either mode. The vibration on hard acceleration is normal, - that's a LOT of power being thrown through the car, though, ironically, you do feel the vibration more as it passes quickly through that 40-50mph zone, which is clearly the trouble spot for these cars.
Then I have 14000 miles on my Plaid and it is vibration free. I would argue abnormally smooth.
I have vibration:
First part of drive starting low to mid 30 mph
Low throttle input 40s mph
Under hard acceleration
3 variations of vibration. 4000 miles.

Yep, the first one is every 2022+ car (2021s oddly did not exhibit this), second one is *every* car (maybe not @Duke846 but dubious etc etc), and third is every car, - just the nature of putting stupid power through a car. The last one doesn't bother me since it's kinda exciting. But it's definitely not a smooth accelerating car like my Model 3 Performance was.
When you guys mention "launching" do you guys mean putting it in cheetah stance or just flooring it at stop lights? I see that all the time and never know which one that refers to LOLYeah. He also needs to drive it like I do, launch it often!

I'm just referring to flooring it at the stop light. Cheetah stance always takes too long to get into it when I've wanted to use it

640 miles in ~2 weeks on the new half shafts. No vibrations.

Great news if the fix holds!
Perhaps you could do a favor for all your fellow Tesla refresh owners and do a lot of driving in a short period. Curious minds want to know.

Trying! Work gets in the way... I have driven a lot between 40-50 mph on smooth roads and paid close attention to it...
Hoping this is a fix!! So was this a new engineering sample that the SC gave you?640 miles in ~2 weeks on the new half shafts. No vibrations.
I felt this in the LR MS when I was accelerating, it was a vibration through the yoke.. this is normal?

Supposedly yes. I asked if there is now an official new part number.

Yes. I mean obviously we could be talking about different vibrations, but there is definitely “feedback” through the yoke to some degree, during hard acceleration.
I have an upcoming service appointment next week to fix some other things, but it looks like I should bring up the vibration again. Hopefully, they'll replace the half shafts this time. Fingers crossed
Does anyone have more information on the service bulletin? Like a number or printout or something?
