    Model S Vibration at Highway Speed's Above 70 Miles an Hour Finally Fixed!

    I believe applying foam was a stop-gap fix. Replacing GRILLE COVER UPR, FR FASCIA MS2 with Part # 1057847-00-E is a permanent fix.

    Model S Vibration at Highway Speed's Above 70 Miles an Hour Finally Fixed!

    Not certain exactly when the new part went into effect but it had to be fairly recently since my service center didn't know about it until a few weeks ago.

    Model S Vibration at Highway Speed's Above 70 Miles an Hour Finally Fixed!

    The problem with my Model S was not related to lane departure warning. I'm familiar with how lane departure works and the feeling you get on the steering well. The vibration I experienced was caused by the 2nd generation radiator ducting as indicated in the service notes I posted.

    Model S Vibration at Highway Speed's Above 70 Miles an Hour Finally Fixed!

    I took delivery of my Model S on December 29, 2016. Sometime around mid-February, I noticed a severe vibration at speeds above 70 miles an hour that would become more pronounced the faster I went. You could feel this vibration through the steering wheel and even through the seats of the car...

    I took delivery on December 30th at the Decatur Georgia showroom. The delivery was very smooth. The staff were delivering 17 cars that day. There must've been 40 cars on the lot. The DS that helped me was very thorough. She spent about an hour going over virtually every aspect of the car and...

    Congratulations! It looks as if we ordered practically the same car. I also ordered MS 60 in the midnight silver metallic. Now if they could just deliver it!

    It's about 48 hours until my rescheduled delivery. I emailed and called my DS yesterday to get a status update as to whether or not the car had arrived in Decatur(Atlanta). No response so far which is probably not a good thing. It's now been four weeks since the car shipped.
