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

[Zaker89]

My july 2021 delivered Long Range has vibration for sure.

It's not covered under the TSB, for some reason, - the LR. Perhaps Tesla will issue a separate one for it at some point...

Lame, like most things Tesla issue resolution related for the Model S/X "Flagships"....

That vibration doesn’t occur on the ‘21. Only ‘22 and ‘23.

That vibration (from the compressor) has occurred all the way back to pre-refresh Model S/X. Upon startup on warmer days the compressor can be felt in the steering wheel and footwell on both my 2015 P85DL and 2019 Raven.

Of the current refresh models, for some reason the '21 refresh is the only year that doesn't have the startup vibration that lasts only a few mins around 25-40mph (ish). Both the '22 and '23 have this. Probably '24 when it arrives in the coming weeks, unless they come with the TSB already applied...

The only thing that runs at a different speed around startup vs. the rest of the drive at the same 25-40mph speeds is the compressor (or at least it is the only thing with enough mass and vibration to be felt within the cabin. aside from driveshafts that is).

Not a refresh, but my 2020 LR has a vibration under medium acceleration.

It vibrates even below freezing. It's temperature independent, and as mentioned - doesn't occur on the 2021 refresh. Only 2022-2024+ refresh.

And this vibration is not the one in the title of this thread.

When on FSD/s, the "40's" vibration is still noticeable even when your foot is off the go pedal.
Although I'm too busy wondering what the hell is Dojo thinking to pay much attention.

Just accepted my buyback offer. More than fair for a year of use. Hopefully we see another revision in a couple years. I want another Model S in the future. There’s nothing like it

Buyback? By Tesla? Care to share the depreciation after one year?

No depreciation. The buyback offer will have been full price plus accessory cost and registration fees.

I leased. Basically they charged me for miles used. Everything else will be refunded.

It's a different vibration than this one for sure, but I just swapped my summer tires & Gemini wheels back on ... and have a tire vibration again.

It was nice driving all winter without it - I'm going to have to take my wheels in for a balancing and roundness check.

I don't want a lease. I want to own a new Plaid. But the uncertainty of getting one that vibrates badly is a problem.

Well, mine vibrates. Not quite as bad, but still there. So, yeah. Don't order one.

Honestly i do not notice the 35-50 vibration at all anymore. After the sw update.

Start up vibration remains the same and is crummy on such an expensive vehicle.

It's not *that* different than how high power ICE cars act on a cold start with the secondary air injection, fuel enrichment etc... I could live with it if that's just what it means to have 1k hp, carbon sleeved rotors, etc. but I wish Tesla would just straight up say whether or not it's a means of heating up the motors faster or something. Especially since the 2021 cars apparently don't do it.

When would you notice the start up vibrations?
