Vibration at higher speeds. Return?

[puzz_k9]

Took delivery of a LR MY after trading in my M3

immediately noticed two things

1. not as fun to drive as the M3. Not zippy due to extra height and weight. Don’t hate it or anything and maybe I will get used to it (??). I never test drove due to the covid situation
2. Car vibrates at speed over 50mph. It’s not lane keep assist. Could be wheel alignment (or worse), but surprised it’s there on a new vehicle.

Thing is that the earliest appointment they have is in 2 weeks and I have to take the vehicle to the shop, which is a bit of a hassle as the service center is not very close to us. What if they can’t fix it? Should I just return it in the 7 day window? Or is this too small an issue?

sorry to hear that, is it the whole car vibrating or just the steering wheel?

Take it back and have it safety checked.

How reputable is your nearest service center?

Reject Imo. It’s just not worth battling Tesla once your leverage to keep them honest is up.

Sounds like a wheel out of balance to me. You can always take it to a tire shop and have them check the balance.

I can feel it in my feet as well as steering. Shudder/Vibration. Could be wheel alignment but could be worse
