Re: 2026 Tesla Model X tremor

It is not an imbalanced tyre if you are experiencing it in the floor and seat, particularly while the vehicle is under stress (accelerating or decelerating). Driving with the gas or not at all is of no concern to tires. Something about the rear drive unit, the motor mount, or the back half-shaft ...

After replacing the rocker cover, my car still won't start. Any advice?

Salutations Everyone,
It's been fifteen minutes since I tried to swap out the EcoTec E Class's rocker cover.
Everything appears to be in order now that we're back together. Restarted the vehicle, and after 45 seconds of struggling, I threw it in. It was a little rough, but I managed to get it going ...
