Side mirror shaking

[TARS69]

Damn. Well I'll follow up early Feb if any fixes are made on mine.

Thank you sounds good.

They replaced my mirror assembly on 2/9/25 and this issue literally got worse. This is so insane xD

My mirror is supposed to be replaced next week...

This is a known issue. Service can replace your mirror under Warranty but it will happen again. Best to wait for a new part number

It's probably just a wheel or tire that's out of balance but you could check for a mirror defect by tapping both mirrors with your finger and see if they respond the same.

I had a similar issue with my driver side only.
It took 2 visits to the service center before Tesla fixed it. (Not sure if they replaced the whole assembly or just the mirror adjustment apparatus.)

Is there anything in the service notes that might be useful for us trying to get this repaired?

I see folks mentioning a new part number, but I haven't seen anything that would signal that Tesla has identified a design issue to result in a re-design or corrected part.

My replacement mirror arrived at the SC today; the appointment is next week. Wish me luck!

Cheers.

I have the same issue. I told them about it every service visit and they say this fixed it but it never seems like it.

It has got something to do with the door itself. If I try banging on the driver side door, the door panel sounds loose compared to the other doors. Can someone else try it?

Any update?

The driver's side mirror vibration is caused by rear drive unit and will persist until the rear drive unit is replaced

Do you have any proof of this? And how would Tesla service agree to switch it based on this conclusion without proof? And why is it affecting driver and not passenger?

 

[stormyeyes]

I do. As with many things with Tesla, keep reporting it and one day you reach someone who knows what they are dong. Dont know

good thread

Amazing bro, thank you!
If you don’t mind, what range was your VIN?

I determined the root cause of my mirror (aka door, mirror attached to door) vibration issue. For me this heavy door/mirror vibration occurs on the highway when subject to a crosswind. So what is happening is the door on the opposite side of the wind impact is subject to a low pressure zone of turbulent air (see Bernoulli's principle, flow separation). Because the cybertruck has a large flat section on each door, that surface moves in and out in the turbulence of the low pressure zone. As the panel is being pulled out, I would presume this is exacerbated at speed with the air getting caught in the opening created by the turbulent low pressure. You can see this visually when you apply your turn signal and look at the turn signal video displayed - you'll see the outer door panel on the side of the vehicle on the low pressure side moving in and out rapidly causing the entire door to vibrate (and thus the mirror to vibrate).

I came to the same conclusion.
Noticed the effect with the direction of the crosswind and speed of the vehicle all made a difference in the vibration of the door panel causing the mirror to vibrate, and able to feel it in the door armrest very pronounced at times.
The faster I drive the less that there needs to be a crosswind to cause the vibration.

great thought! So what can you do about it?

Thank you sounds good.

I had to delay my initial service appointment and just got my truck back. After putting in for shaking door and mirror, here is the response after service "ran thermal test, no rattle or squeak present at this time."

Any techs on here no what a thermal test entails?
