Now, interesting facts:
- It's very mild and not appears all the time.
- I drive in plaid mode only and floor it constantly (each day)
None of the problems people complain about are big deals in the big scheme of things. We are all very blessed to be able to own a Tesla. Compared to struggling, losing your house in a wild fire, or having cancer, a $120+k car that keeps vibrating (no matter what you try to do to fix it), wears out tires in 5k miles (unless you experiment with adding equipment that can potentially void your warranty), has interior trim that keeps peeling off (steering wheel), doesn't come with advertised features (steam, rear gaming), etc is no big deal.90% of the time if someone notices a vibration the tires need to be balanced. Always start with a Road Force balance.
Re the front drivetrain vibration at ~40mph: I agree with below. It is very mild. I only notice it when I drive with leather soled dress shoes, which, thank covid, isn’t very often anymore (or barefoot). And it is usually only at the start of a drive and either it goes away or I simply have a noise filter that filters it out after getting used to it.
If I have any rubbersoled shoes with any cushioning, I simply don’t notice it at all ever.
It is super mild. I have told myself it is a simple purr — like a cat, but even softer than most cats.
I don’t get myself upset about it. And I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to get another refresh Model S, or upgrade if I had an older S or 3 or whatever.
But some people are more easily excitable and upsetable and this mild vibration is clearly causing them significant suffering and we should all have compassion for their suffering.
And when those concerns translate to advice to others to not buy a car because of their unique sensitivity and fragility that is not shared by all, this is also the appropriate forum to counsel otherwise.to voice those valid concerns.
To each….I agree the first amendment is super awesome
It looks like the 2021 MSP is the one vibration free. I’ll start looking for a low mileage out of lease, since they look all the same. These MSP vibration threads opened my eyes to avoid a brand new MSP … sad but true.I didn’t have it on my 2021 MSP either.
Not true. Mine is a 2021 and vibrates like a MoFo.It looks like the 2021 MSP is the one vibration free. I’ll start looking for a low mileage out of lease, since they look all the same. These MSP vibration threads opened my eyes to avoid a brand new MSP … sad but true.

What did Tesla offer you as the raw trade in value? and what did you pay for the new Plaid, in total?
I was waiting for you to chime in.
Seems either random (or possibly impacted by launches…)
My 9/21 had no vibration.
On 8/15/23, I transferred FSD & Traded it in on an Ultra Red HW4 Plaid with all the originally promised bells and whistles + other upgrades (brakes, lights…)
I love the tilting screen.
Between the FSD transfer, Trade-In and WA sales tax savings (only taxed on purchase net of trade-in)
Around 90k ($89,959.05) off my out of pocket cost.
Car was perfect.
No noticeable vibrations.
(From Tesla to my home and then to Alset for PPF, ceramic coating…)
Odometer now reads a whopping 44 miles.
Here’s the breakdown:What did Tesla offer you as the raw trade in value? and what did you pay for the new Plaid, in total?
I have it bad on my 21 plaid. It vibrates strongly between 40 and 50 mph. I don't have the startup vibration or the 80+ mph vibration.It looks like the 2021 MSP is the one vibration free.

66,600 (FSD Removed)
1,000 Loyalty/ Referral Credit
15,000 FSD Value
7,268.8 Sales Tax Reduction (8.8%)

So, about $38,000 out of pocket to upgrade from a 2021, w/FSD to a 2023 w/FSD?

So $65k if the FSD transfer promotion wasn’t active. Tesla has to be thrilled you made this transaction. Maybe I missed it but… why? Ultra Red + new lights? If so, still bonkers.This is off by a little bit on the tax savings, but more like 50k+ including tax registration destination…
I brought a cashiers check for $49,718.39
There was something I missed on this spreadsheet.

Does the new one still have the vibration? Mine didn't start until about 3,000 miles, so you might have to wait and see.This is off by a little bit on the tax savings, but more like 50k+ including tax registration destination…

I’ve found several 21’s Plaid with 10k to 20k miles only … people don’t drive ‘em?! one car was 7 miles away, so I went there to test drive it, and bingo! the vibration was unbearable at 85 mph like the car was falling apart, less bad between 35 and 60mph; the owner showed me all SC receipts with Tesla’s unsuccessful attempt to fix it … poor guy was willing to lower the price by 5k which I thanked him and walked away, evidently I wouldn’t tell him that I didn’t want it even free of charge!I have it bad on my 21 plaid. It vibrates strongly between 40 and 50 mph. I don't have the startup vibration or the 80+ mph vibration.
