Hi folks, long time reader first time poster. Sorry for the long post but I need your guidance:
I purchased a Long Range Model 3 RWD with aero wheels last October. Since I have the car, I noticed road vibration in my accelerator pedal, no matter the speed. The issue is considerably less pronounced on really smooth roads.
Keep in mind this is my first Tesla so I wasn’t sure if all Model 3 has this vibration in the pedal. I booked an appointment with my SC and I sat in the passenger seat while the Tesla employee drove my car. He shared that nothing seemed out of the ordinary (but he did mention that was his first time driving a Model 3). He rotated my wheels and told me he would open a ticket (not sure exactly if I’ll ever have an update on that).
Since I was riding on stock Michelin tires and I was a few days from changing to winter tires, the service rep told me to reach out if the issue persists even after new tires. Unfortunately, I can still feel vibrations in my pedal, neither better nor worse.
Again I’m not sure if this is normal for Tesla. So my question is: do you feel any road vibrations in your accelerator pedal when you’re driving on not so great asphalt? If it’s not standard behaviour, what do you recommend I do? When I’m driving on new asphalt, the car drives like a dream. But when I’m driving anywhere else, the vibration is a serious buzz kill for me.
Additional info:
Thanks in advance!

Additional info:
- Winter tires are Michelin X-Ice installed on the stock Aero Wheels
- The pedal is my main issue but I also feel vibration on the steering wheel and the central armrest.
Thanks in advance!
