Side mirror shaking

[jcktrb]

I am experiencing the same, also on the driver's side. The music can amplify it, but that's probably just the driver's side window vibrating in addition to the mirror.

We can probably see if the windshield wiper is the issue by manually putting it down to the hood.

I have this too. Driver's side only. I know all of my hardware is tight because I removed the mirror and put it back to clean under it. It shook on the drive home from the showroom so I know it wasn't removing and replacing that caused it either.

It's extra annoying since I have to use it twice as often as a normal vehicle with the crappy rear view situation.

Same issue here. Tesla service is replacing the mirror. (Along with about 5x other trim pieces that were “off”) upon delivery.

I have the same issue but my entire door is vibrating. Now that could be driven by the mirror vibrating and being securely mounted to the door so it's driving the vibration all the way back through the door. Is the drivers door closing mechanism identical to the passenger mechanism? I know they had the issue with loose bolts on the drivers side door latch. May be related? Here is my video in this thread: Other Thread

Mine does not do this. I would have noticed by now. Hopefully they come up w a fix and not a, “sorry it’s just the way it is” solution. That’s awful and I’d be dead set on having it resolved.

Found this in the Cybertruck Service Manual:
https://service.tesla.com/docs/Cybe...UID-F868AFA5-83DA-4585-AF37-34C5F71D405C.html

Will be attempting to remove and see if there's anything I can see in there. I talked to the service center and they said as long as nothing is broken, this will not void any warranty to attempt to repair/remedy myself.

+1 I had the Drivers side vibrate since delivery at the end of March. The Miramar Service Center replaced it once already and it goes back next week for this and a passenger roof panel adjustment.

No driver's side mirror vibration. Just remember, all the suppliers are ramping too, so there are bound to be issues.

So, I just got out of the service center, where among some other things they took a look at the side-mirror shaking issue. I talked to the technician in person before leaving and he said “we are told not to fix this, because it’s a trending issue and there is an internal communication about an upgrade coming soon”. I asked him what does the “upgrade” mean, will it be a recall? He said most likely yes.

Remove them both problem solved.

Remove them both problem solved.

? no, then you get other problems. I’m not in favor of removing the mirrors. I drove their model 3 with FSD today (that was my loaner). In just 2 hours of driving it missed an exit on the highway because it was a heavy traffic and the lines were not clearly marked, and also pulled in front of another vehicle in a very risky maneuver in another episode. So, I’m not trusting this technology that much yet to say goodbye to my physical mirrors.

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 too get this vibration. I don’t think it’s from pressure differences. I just got my truck back from service. The vibration was one of the items I had them look at. I don’t know if they did anything because it still vibrates. I drove it at high speed going north on the highway and then turned around and drove south. Got the vibration in both directions.

My driver side mirror is shaking like crazy non stop. It starts at like 25-30 mph and the faster you go the more it shakes obviously. It’s really annoying.

Mine has same problem. Took it to service yesterday for it and they "re-mounted" it. They said it is a "known issue" but implied they don't have a full solution to it. This morning it vibrates much less at 80 mph but still does it. I now need to go 70+ for it to vibrate instead of 55 +. It may be a design flaw, but unclear as the passenger side mirror is not an issue. I wonder if the way it is mounted relative to wiper motor etc on drivers side influences the stability of the attachment or if repeated opening and closing of driver side door more frequently than passenger side plays a role.

Btw, I asked about getting wiper motor and sail trim done at same time. They didn't have parts yet and luckily I've had no issues with either of them.
