Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....

Thanks for taking one for the team! Keep us posted!

The car is at the service center now. Will keep you updated. Just curious do you notice noise when turning the yoke full left and right while stopped ?

Mine is going tomorrow. Engineering out of Fremont want the car in for diagnosis as it is a common complaint. Also have an issue with steering thud coming out the garage this morning almost felt like when you turn a 4x4 in low. Something is very off on the front powertrain of these cars. Will keep you all updated !!!

I have had some odd nooses when backing out of the driveway as well. I preciously owned a 4wd truck and agree that it sounds similar to when I'm 4x4 and trying to turn. It feels a little like grippy wheels and the front differential not quite allowing enough free rotation.

Cant say that I've noticed any noise while turning the wheel. But I'll test it out here in a few for ya

I notice sticking noises while driving through drive throughs... Almost like the tires are too sticky on the pavement. But that has been my extent. I cant hear it while someone else drives on the street, so I chalked it up to tires being sticky.

My most annoying thing is a whistling around 79-90mph....I can deal with everything else, but the whistling overrides the radio when its around 8. Definitly my main issue with the car, but again I'm giving service enough time to deal with the other cars so they have an engineering note about the noise rather than giving them my car for two weeks while they figure it out. But I'm getting close to going to serivce.

Off topic but which tires came on your car?

Off topic but which tires came on your car?

295 in the rear, 265 in the front

295 in the rear, 265 in the front

Update: car still in. Engineering is looking at everything from control arms and bushings to control units. What is causing them the most concern is the vibration stays contrast although faint at those speeds mentioned.

So they have acknowledged the vibration? It's not on every car?

They have acknowledged it. They say it is on most cars. Some more subtle then others. Waiting to hear back. Either motor mount, controller or possibly shafts off by a hair.

Thanks for the updates on this. Did they say it is on most Plaids, or most refreshes (Plaids & LRs) altogether?

Seems to be on plaids only right now.

I have the issue and I have a LR.

Thanks good to know. I know a user here has his car in service. They've tried repositioning the motor, updating firmware with no luck. Tesla just reordered axels for him in an attempt to fix it.

I had a scheduled service visit this Friday for a delivery defect in the roof panel, but the part hasn't arrived in New Orleans yet, so I will likely have to reschedule. I was going to bring up the vibration at that time.

I have a plaid. Same vibration around 50mph. I also recently started having a much louder grinding noise at low speeds. On slow acceleration and especially on breaking… anyone else?

does Tesla give you a loaner?
