Sorry again, but it's not wise to lump all these problems together as "same" with a single root cause. For example, how does a car with no vibration then vibrate after a suspension component swap? Did the grease temperature change?Nope. Bought the X insteadsame "problem"
Actually, I think it's likely you have something else wrong, since those of us with this vibration only have it between 40-50 mph. So, there's something else wrong with your car that should be fixable!
Contrary to the experience of people in this thread, non vibrating plaids have and continue to exist.Some update: I dropped my car off to have the new design / tolerance half shafts installed. Let's hope it works!
Interesting: My loaner car is a '23 Model S LR with 3k miles. It has absolutely no vibration. I tried everything to get it to vibrate but couldn't find any. I drove in medium, even high (from below 35 mph) and there is no vibration at all.
Built 12/22. Running 2023.2.12 software. 19" wheels.
Of course, it still has other issues, like the seat belt was installed backwards at the factory.... But you can't have everything.
Thank You! Confirmation the vibration stems from too high an angle of the CV joints in the half shafts. The ultimate fix is either a higher quality part or a re-design of the front drive train that includes lowering the motor and reducing the CV joint angles. In the mean time lowering the car using Don's parts (n2itive.me) sounds like it works.
The vibration remains on hot days, and no matter how long you drive the car. It's always there between 40-50 mph, and it goes away immediately if you go into track mode and select rear torque bias.
Keep us posted, what part number you have on the service ticket?Some update: I dropped my car off to have the new design / tolerance half shafts installed. Let's hope it works!

I won't get the invoice until the service is complete. I will post up when done, expected at the end of this week or early next week.
So there is a new part from Tesla. Fingers crossed.
I am pessimistic and would say most S refresh vibrate and if you find one that doesn't then It is a happy accident as this is a design issue. mine is very subtle and hard to notice unless you pay attention and know what to look for.

We had 3 Plaids (2 22s and one 23) parked in our club house last weekend for Spring event done by our community for the kids. I was chatting with there owners and discussing what we like and we do not about them, when I mentioned the vibration, they said they do not have it so we went for a drive in both cars and I showed them how to get it (lite foot on the acceleration, slight uphill and viola). needless to say they both hate me now
I bet if someone say they do not have it then 99% they are either heavy footed on the acceleration and they blew through the zone quickly or never cared about slight imperfection. My wife had her MYP for a week with the rear mirror rattling and she never cared till I drove it and was WTF!!!
Or, like me, they have a June 2021 Plaid that happens to be totally vibration-less no matter how hard they try. I’m definitely not heavy footed and am very sensitive to sound and vibration. Of course I’m still at only 5000 miles so I’m holding my breath. Did I just jinks myself!
