"Refreshed" Model S model VIBRATION tracking and information thread!!!

Sometimes I feel the HVAC fan vibrate the yoke. Is it worse than that?

Yes, much stronger than that.

 

[lbowroom]

Yes, much stronger than that.

Ok, so I can feel the HVAC vibration but I don’t have any other vibration, so do you still think I have it but can’t feel it?

How many miles do you have on the car?

Have you tried lightly pressing the accelerator between 40-50 mph? Then quickly release the pedal and it should go away. I notice it also on on-ramps to the highway. Also on autopilot in the range 40-50 mph.

Quite annoying, actually.

Yes, I've tried it all. Believe me, I know that your cars are suffering from it, but not mine. Mine has been on lowering links from the first week of ownership. I can't say if that's a factor or not, but it's a data point. I know Jeb is going to experiment. I'm at 6200 miles.

Interesting.... I didn't have it for the first 1,000 miles, and I really tried to look for it.

I wonder if I have the half shafts replaced and then force the car to "low" after they are fixed, if it will keep it from happening again.

How much do your lowering links lower the car?

Yes. jebinc, and his vibrating Plaid, will get N2itive MXS-2 Plaid lowering links, Signature SV104 wheels, and new sneakers this weekend. Should have a report for everyone early next week. Want to give it a few days before making a ruling on the links (Re impact or not on the vibration)!

I'm dropped around 3/4"

I'm dropped around 3/4"

I’m going to start at setting 3-4, or 1/2 drop. Will them move to setting 5-6 for a 3/4” drop in the front to see what happens to the vibration. Hopefully, it is reduced or eliminated.

Shout out to all you with vibrating cars… do any of you who have the vibration also have lowering links? Trying to find someone with the vibration that also rides on a lowered car. Do any exist?

Plaid half shafts and DU height

We know the front DU of the Plaid and refreshed MS have asymmetric shafts, that meaning one is longer than the other. With the new dual rear motor DU are the half shafts symmetrical? Is the rear DU lower than the front DU, resulting in less CV joint binding under load? How much shorter is the...

This week I will visit the service center in Lancaster Pa as they never picked up, or returned a call. I hopefully will be able to come away with a recently replaced driveshaft verified to be from a refresh S. All Tesla service centers might be required to return all warranty replaced shafts back to engineering at Tesla, or hopefully in a scrap bin I can access. If I am lucky to obtain the correct shaft I will perform a forensic teardown, with pictures. Film at eleven...

Anyone know if the 2022s and recent builds still have the vibration issue, or is this affliction limited to 2021s? Key piece of data that is very much needed.

I think someone with a 22 responded that they had the vibration too.

The Air has since been sent to Lucid to figure out what made the steering malfunction and we don't believe this is related to the recent recall.

Anyone with a recent 2022 have the vibration????

I have a 2022 Model X Plaid, built Jan 2022, delivery 01/29. 1100 miles, no vibration yet.
