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

[Pricedm]

Plaid. Pirelli. Also have gotten a 2.1 many times on the street (dragy verifiable). I have nothing bad to say about them except the 19’ are ugly.

Ha...i think the new 19s on the Model S are the nicest looking rims-- both design and color. Well 2nd nicest. Cybertruck FTW.

Because it probably requires a redesign of the the front frame for lower DU placement - something they have not been willing to do for nearly a decade.

Is anybody aware of any aftermarket fixes? I’ve got 30,000 miles and now have a subtle vibration under acceleration at highway+ speeds. I’ve got lowering links on the suspension and run it low almost all the time. I really don’t want to go to Tesla and have them give me *sugar* about aftermarket suspension mods.

No aftermarket guaranteed fixes as far as I’m aware.

Off topic but would like your opinion on the Lucid Air due out in the coming months. Rumor has it that the Lucid Air surpasses the Model S.

Well I raced one up the 95 from Miami to Fort Lauderdale in my Plaid and he lost so there’s that Good looking car tho

The Lucid Air Sapphire wouldn't lose. Those just started getting delivered, so Tesla advertising the Plaid is the fastest is another example of false advertising at this time.

They need one more bullet point!!!!!

• under 100k

Are there cars under $2 million quicker than the plaid?

The Lucid Air Saphire is supposed to be 0.1 seconds quicker, 1.89sec 0-60, and costs ~$250k.

I will believe this when I actually see real times.
You would think it would be all over the internet but it’s not.

Rumor has it a software update to help with vibrations coming.

Zero official times in that’s video. Kinda like the dodge demon 170.

That hot fix will come when Bigfoot reveals himself and drops in for the Joe Rogan show

True, nothing official yet. He smokes the Plaid in the video, nonetheless, by three car lengths in the quarter. Maybe a bad start by the Plaid. Who knows. My money is still on the Lucid, though I’d never buy one. Way too risky with a 50/50 chance of it ending up like another Fisker. Not to mention there is only one dealership ”close to me” at 3 hours away.

Will be called “ARVR” (Active Road Vibration Reduction). And…. (Sh)it will function as well as ARNR does!

I've been hearing that since November of 2021.
