Bottom line: Tesla delivers cars with issues. Their quality control isn’t the best, and almost nobody will argue that point. For most owners, the overall experience is great, and well worth it to have the best electric cars with features like autopilot.
There are many Model Y Issues, and Model Y Problems. Tesla’s Answer to this is Service appointments.
At my first appointment:
There were a couple of areas around the car where paint was missing.
To fix this, Tesla actually ended up sending it to a contracted paint shop to fix the issues. They fixed it, but left some swirl marks.
2. The second issue I had was the rear seat alignment. It’s pretty clear that the right seat sits further forward, at a different angle, and higher.
Tesla told me that they don’t have a fix for this yet, since the new Model Y was so new.
3. The trim on the top, connecting to the glass roof came kind of loose, and seemed to not be adhered correctly.
Tesla tried to fix this, but overall it just kind of ended up being the same.
The first thing I tried to fix at my next service appointment again was the rear seat alignment.
Again, same issue. Tesla said that they don’t have a fix for this issue yet. Pretty frustrating.
2. The second Model Y issue I was having was that the frunk was showing that it was open, when it wasn’t.
Tesla replaced the sensor and the latch for the front trunk. The issue has come back though…
3. The third issue I had was when the window didn’t roll down properly. It caused a gash on the trim from not rolling down.
Tesla replaced the trim for free, and it looks good, except the back kind of has this new gap, so yeah…it’s fixed, but also worse back here? I’ll probably mention it at another appointment.
4. The fourth issue I had was that the rear headrests would squeak whenever I hit a bump.
Tesla fixed it!
5. The fifth issue was a rattle in the rear seats. Since they aren’t aligned properly, they buzz together when I hit a bump.
Tesla again said they couldn’t fix this, but this time said they do have a solution, that is being shipped.
6. I mentioned to Tesla that the car kind of has this settling sound when the car is any amount of uneven, going into a steep driveway or anything.
I actually forgot about this issues, and don’t think Tesla addressed it, because it is still there.
7. The front headlight had this issue where it would push in really easily. I noticed it when I was washing the car, and it wasn’t the same on the other side.
Tesla fixed this, but it was still there when I saw it. Then I pressed on it, and it fixed it?
About an hour after the appointment, I noticed that this trim wasn’t aligned correctly, at the driver’s side, and that there was some kind of stain on the back of the rear seat.
However, there will always be exceptions. I’ve seen plenty of people on Twitter, who own multiple Teslas, and have gotten fed up with their service.
If you’re planning to buy a Model Y, or are taking delivery soon, here is what I would look out for.
First, if you’re picky about fit and finish, check out a Model Y in person. If it’s good, you can always reject delivery if it doesn’t live up to your expectations.
Second, If you think the good will outweigh the bad for you, which I personally think would be the case for most people, here’s what to check for when taking delivery to ensure they have it on record.
The rear seat alignment that I mentioned Is a common Tesla Model Y problem
Paint issues, mostly where it is missing like it was for me.
Noises and buzzes while driving
Ensure that the rear seats collapse properly when you press the buttons in the rear.
Ensure that the trunk opens and closes properly.
Look for any scratches on the plastic in the car.
Look for any areas where the trim isn’t applied properly to the roof.
Make sure that the drivers side window functions properly. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Dude, let me know if you want to compare cars.
Not sure after your video I will buy a Tesla 😂😂 (joke)
@Charles Franklin they are telling me no. And I don't even have a vin. I tweeted this to Elon. I may cancel my order.
@@ericjohnson3967 so you wanna cancel your order just because of 30-50$ worth electricity?
Ryan why not use the Lemon Law to get from underneath this mess?
If I were you, I would stop saying “they fixed that for free“ they didn’t fix it for free, they fixed it under warranty which means the cost to fix that was included in the price of your car when you bought it.
The dude has no idea they’re using his time to drive the car back and forth. What a wanker.
Besides, all the problems he mentioned are NOT fixed to ANY other manufacturer standard!
Cyber Slim cuz they don't have this same issues.
@@cyberslim7955 When a $14K Nissan Versa has a better mechanical build quality than a $60K Tesla.
@@jokeassasin7733 You are right! I am sure it has!
For some reason, people are too easy on Tesla. Imagine this happening with any other manufacturer.
The WSJ's review of Model Y sums up the reason why some people are easy on Tesla and overlook their build quality issues:
"From behind the wheel, everything else in this category-Mercedes-Benz GLC 300, Range Rover Evoque, Jaguar F-Pace, Porsche Macan-feels like a sluggish, sloppy antique, a squawking modem trying to connect to the cloud."
Yes all other car manufacturers have years of experience behind them. Tesla is a new car company which is trying to scale up which in it self is why many company’s fail. I agree paying that much for a car to have this many issues is unacceptable but it’s only acceptable knowing they are a new company. Apple has had many issues throughout their product categories I.e antenna gate bend gate, butterfly keys..but with experience everything improves. Just give them time
Theyre a startup with a big mission. Eventually they will get there. Tesla is doing what Apple did back in 2007. Apple also made bad quality products along the way (antenna gate / band gate).
@@hansenluu And apple blamed customers for it and continued making butterfly keyboards for 4 years. Yes Tesla is the new apple. People care about showing off than quality.
@@hansenluu They are not a startup anymore. They are the most valued American carmaker. And they have been making cars for more than a decade now. Stop finding excuses for them like apple fans do for the broken keyboards and bent i phones and i pads etc.,
Imagine paying 60k for a car that has more rattles and weird noises than a 500$ Miata bought off facebook marketplace
500$ Miata? Sign me up!
I had a 2005 VW passat with 209,000 miles on it. That car had no faults when i sold it
Yeah. I've been told to by a brand new car to avoid issues :D. Thanks, but NO. Got mondeo 2007. Don't know what is out of schedule service. ;)
132475$ for all options and biggest battery in Norway 😂 And here you have to wait 6 months to get a service! Its a shit show! Edit: that's a model x btw.
But Tesla fanboys will always say: "yes i have had many issues that Tesla doesn't want to or can't fix.... but I still love it 10/10 would buy again. Best car ever". The rest of the world: "you are so gullible and brainwashed"
"The car is so new that they don't know how to fix it yet." If anyone who works at a car company ever made such statement to me, I would never buy their car again.
During the pandemic, you might try to be forgiving in this situtation
@@MyUniversalUniversity Elon shouldn't have had people working or have more quality control since they have more time
Tesla is the only car company that tries that excuse, lol. The rest just finish the damn product *before* they ship it
Tesla Dude $60k car. Fuck off, don’t be making cars during a pandemic if they’re going to be shit quality.
Yeah lol not like they spent god knows how long designing and engineering the entire damn car and they somehow can’t figure out how to align a seat on mounts that they designed
Telsa, Making Chrysler look like the pinnacle of quality excellence.
Just imagine the quantity control of their upcoming roadster that can "fly" 😂😂
Vinny Droning I’d be scared to get in one!
😂😂😂
This😂
Mark Reynolds they probably spend the quality control budget on advertising.
Man, that’s a long list. “Fixed for free”...only if your time is free.
He says it like you'd normally have to pay. It's a brand new expensive car, no you don't pay. 'if fit and finish is important to you...' yeah it is, it's an expensive brand new car. I wouldn't be so forgiving, sounds like a heap of junk lol
This is unacceptable for such an expensive vehicle, Tesla needs to get their shit together I mean this isn't their first car. They need to pay more attention to quality control
J P Theyre a startup with a big mission. Eventually they will get there. Tesla is doing what Apple did back in 2007. Apple also made bad quality products along the way (antenna gate / band gate). We are paying the price as early adopter.
People have been saying that for yeeeearrrsss.
@Namiie stop copying and pasting the same thing to everyone’s complaints about quality control issues. I don’t care if they’re a startup... which at this point is arguable. They’re selling a car in the luxury price segment so certain expectations must be met. If you can’t meet it, stop production bad fix those issues before resuming. Tesla diehards excusing them for everything is the reason for their nonchalant attitude towards quality.
ParadoxlnABox My point is no one is forcing you to buy. Its true there are quality issue. Which will get better over time. Did you miss where you can return the car in 7 days? People complains but still keep the car for the Pros. The best thing to do is wait. If you’re eager to get the car first then expect some flaws. The early adopters is also responsible for Tesla behaviors for not returning.
@Namiie We agree that the Tesla diehards are largely responsible for Tesla’s poor quality control. If I were in Elon Musk’s place and my compensation was directly related to stock performance, which was in turn related to cars sold, I’d cut corners if no one called me out on it. But this is not a good look for Tesla.
I had previously considered buying a Tesla in the not too far off future but definitely not if their QC is this terrible. I’ll wait and hopefully a growing customer base will too. Only when they get their crap together will I even consider a Tesla. You can have great torque, acceleration, tech, etc. But if you can’t make your door panels align or keep your seats from sitting right, you’re not getting my money. I hope others feel the same way.
Come on. $60k for a brand new car and you're bringing it back to the "dealer" for fixes more often than someone who just bought a used car. Smh, come on Tesla.
Theyre a startup with a big mission. Eventually they will get there. Tesla is doing what Apple did back in 2007. Apple also made bad quality products along the way (antenna gate / band gate). We are paying the price as early adopter.
@@hansenluu You are buying a luxury vehicle and as such there are certain minimum expectations. Just like how I expect different things from a $80 per night motel room as opposed to $400 per night hotel room.
@@buffteethr Minimum expectation is subjective. Since you have no apple to apple comparison.
That's why Tesla offer 7-Day RETURN POLICY (first ever in Auto Industry). He could have returned it. No hard feeling. OP said he keeps it since the PROS outweights the CONS.
jpan08 thankyou not even used cars have so many problems i prefer buying a hybrid
@@hansenluu Just because they offer 7 day returns doesn't mean they're magically forgiven for everything.
Say I just spent $60000 on a car, I wouldn't expect to have to then immediately return it because the quality of the vehicle is below standard and can't be fixed. Not only that, but I can now no longer buy a replacement of that same car just because the company says I can't, despite it being their issues. What you're saying is that I should go out of my way and be inconvenienced after giving Tesla $60000 just because they won't improve QC.
They're not just selling a car, they're selling a car with the same price as a luxury car, but with issues (that even some low price EVs don't have) occuring more often than they should for the price.
If Tesla wants to carry on as the most valuable vehicle manufacturer, they need to spend money in QA and QC rather than just R&D. A car is more than just it's Drivetrain and Infotainment, and Tesla needs to acknowledge that.
Moral of the story: Don't be the first to buy anything. Unless you're a youtuber trying get views. 😆
I don't have any problems on my early model 12K$ Peugeot, when I got it. Seems to me Tesla QC is pretty much nonexistent, they just push out as many cars as possible and worry about the problems later.
@@MatejKebe Exactly. Sounds like Russian cars from 60's.
The old saying is to never buy a first model year of a model from any manufacturer. Wait a year till they work the bugs out.
No, it’s not about the ‘new’ model. It’s just terrible quality control. The type of issues he is having is ridiculous. You can get a car half the price without any of these basic problems.
Excerpt this is nothing more than a model 3 with a slight lift. These issues are completely unacceptable and point to not only the shoddy build quality (in a tent no less) but the absolutely elementary "engineering" that goes into the car. Tesla clearly does not have adequate quality control or even adequate engineering. Like Ford but at least Ford can get rear seats right.
This man ‘s head is beautifully round. Very aesthetic.
It also has increased aerodynamics. He utilizes this advantage when free falling to reach terminal velocity.
You are freaking killing me here.
🤣
he took it to the service center, they rounded it out
No warranty issue with his head then🥴
Toyota: if there’s a quality issue, stop the line and fix it right there.
GM: If there’s a quality issue, keep the line moving and we’ll fix it in the parking lot.
Tesla: If there’s a quality issue, ship it out to the customer. Maybe he won’t notice.
"This is how it is when you get the first run of a product", is something you accept for handbuilt Lamborghini in the 80s, not a car that expects to sell 100s of thousands. Only Tesla loyalists accept that as normal, everyone else would threaten lemon lawsuits.
Tesla sales ride the wave of hype, very quick innovation (whether you like them or not, they are innovative) and modern marketing strategy. But definitely not prestige, Design, quality, sturdiness and general luxury
@@CyAn-S they are innovative, but the ask for forgiveness instead of permission treatment is always rude...if they were the small startup punching up at unfair regulation or large competition, I'd say it might be palatable, but the standard of care they are setting is -IMHO- too low. You might swallow that in a F2P digital product, not a car manufacturer, and punching down on a loyal client base to bamboozled degrees is F-ed up.
Other companies are plagued with lawsuits & recalls and refunds for lesser QC issues. They just run the stockmarket game too hard, too fast: that is their true product atm, and as much as every public company is primarily caring for shareholders vs clients, it hurts when facades come down for popular heroes.
Damn.
My 3 year old Hyundai doesn't even have these issues
My 15 year old Hyundai doesn’t have these issues 😂🥴
I'd take any electric Hyundai or KIA above a similarly-sized Tesla. At least with those brands you can count on them being able to build it right.
“I don’t want to scare you away from a Tesla” well you absolutely should. Tesla has been making cars for a decade, the issues you experience are completely ridiculous! It’s unacceptable. A new car for 60.000 dollars that ends up being in repair for longer than you’ve driven the car is insane. How are you so acceptable of such failure?
yea, i dont understand how can you go into a dealer to pick up a brand new car and need to do a look around just like you would be doing while buying second hand car.
Other car makers have been making cars for LITERALLY centuries... that's def not fair. This car has existed for less than a year. All new cars have issues in their low VIN numbers.
@@natalieanderson_ it's fair. There could be mechanical problems with engines, gearboxes or some strange/unusual layouts for controls for new company making cars. But quality control for not aligned body panels or seats? There is no excuse for that, only one reason - rushing to push the numbers out.
@@sFde46 Virtually every car company on earth has had close to or more than a century to perfect the manufacturing of car bodies. Tesla has had a decade. Of course they're worse at it. It's really hard to be perfect at everything you're doing when you haven't been doing it for very long- especially when you're being compared to groups that have lifetimes of experience.
@@natalieanderson_ ffs, misaligned doors and windows trim or seats requires 3 decades of car manufacturing?
Stop apologising for Tesla. They're charging premium prices for a sub-standard product. All of the issues should have been picked up in through testing and QA instead of rushing to meet a deadline.
a 20000 euro VW polo has better quality control
Even my 2017 Alfa Romeo sounds like the most reliable car ever made after watching this video. No major issues since purchase.
Yeah I love tesla as a whole but these quality issues wouldn’t be acceptable on a new Kia Rio, let alone on a $60k luxury vehicle.
@Howdy Justice KIA's are actually considered reliable now. They had a bad start, but they've made incredible progress. Just do some research, even big car TH-camrs like Doug DeMuro have bought Kia's recently.
I don’t think you’ll be seeing videos like this about the Mach E.
Haven't seen any videos like this about the e-tron or Taycan either. (Or even the Nissan Leaf for that matter)
Looks like I’ll be waiting for the vw id4
@@RohanRege1738 but people still think tesla is the best... WTF?!... Totally agree with you!
Not being able to line up rear seats speaks volumes.
It really can’t be that hard🤦♂️
Great video. I’m cancelling my order. I can’t deal with any issue and have no time for this crap.
Smart move!
You probably can even afford a tesla.
Smart move! There are a lot of alternatives. Look at Norway, telsa junk soon not even in the top 10 brands of EVs. elbilstatistikk.no
Smart move, they are horribly unreliable.
I bought a model 3 p , 5 months ago, no problems. It's a beautiful machine. Can't describe in words. You need a supercar to beat me off the line. Good luck with your ICE
You are clearly a VERY patient person. I know how excited you were to get the Y and I really hope that everything gets fixed.
"They'll figure it out eventually"
For a car that is compared to the likes of Audi and Mercedes, that isn't something you wanna hear.
Exactly!
You would be surprised how many things are internally "figured out eventually" on every single brand. You never want to work in an official dealership.
Audi and Mercedes aren't designing entirely new vehicles from the ground up like Tesla does.
@@TheRCish precisely, they just sell pimped up Dacias 🙄
Then don't buy an Audi the first year either. They always have thousands of recalls on the first year. Panel gaps, trim issues, missing interior attachments, anchors, paint issues, all the normal stuff.
If they can’t get the seat alignment right, would you trust their autopilot.
Lmfao real talk
All these petrolheads commenting yikers
Dear Tesla, more attention to actually building cars, less to "technology" like fart mode.
If you think fart mode took more than fifteen minutes to code than you are wrong, fifteen minutes to fix major issues like this is nothing. Usually takes several days of manpower to come up with fixes for issues.
@@cybervand takes 15min to line those seats up in CAD.
The people who make fart mode are the software guys not the car builders.
@@lightbox8019 you completely missed his point. Spending time to add unnecessary features vs fixing actual issues in terms prioritizes for Tesla overall. Holding a meeting to add frats vs discussing how to fix QA issues.
animedear separate departments dude
tesla is successful because elon musk is like a kardashian, people will just eat up whatever he says
Exactly. Cybertruck looks like a bet he made to prove that point.
They love thier electric jesus . Pmsl
Haha certainly similar to my experiences on my 2019 Model 3 Performance (which is far from initial production and not pandemic related).
Addressed in 2019

You sound more like a Beta Tester than a paying customer. Maybe I don’t want a Tesla right now.
Yeah. If you want a small electric suv with great range I'd go for a Kona. It drives well too.
Or wait for the Audi Q4 or VW ID4 derivative.
Get a Lexus
I was really thinking of purchasing a new Tesla until I started reading these reviews. I cannot justify this price with poor quality
@@johnfarmer9697 buy a slightly used models s from tesla. Its defo the best quality.
Fan boys give them too much leniency. They have the highest sale on a single model and they still can;t get the quality right.
We give them leniency because they have gotten numerous other things perfect. All we ask is that you give them time to correct their mistakes. They’re a new company. Calm down
@@kingtad205 what did they get perfect? ... honest question. I'd be pretty upset with these issues on a brand new vehicle, even if it was half the price of the Y.
@@KP-yi4nu it's still the best electric vehicle, and they have the best auto pilot, the standard panoramic roof is killer too.
First of all, not all owners have these issues. Mostly people who pre-ordered a new model.
Second, obviously these issues when they happen are quite embarrassing. And they need to address them on current units and fix their manufacturing methods.
Third, they made electric cars cool. They have single handledly caused a major shift in a market that's been around for over a century. That's why people are "fanboys"
lloydagola yes best electric vehicle. But a terrible one. Tesla’s just aren’t great yet. Give them time and I’m sure they’ll get better, but I don’t understand why people spend their money on a car that will just continue to have this many issues straight from the dealer
I was ready to buy a Model Y, but you scared me off. I don't have the time to deal with those kind of issues.
wait 1 more year or a bit more, Tesla keeps fixing issues like this during the production
Buy a c8, you will be much happier
Lesson 1 - never buy a Tesla until 6 months after first deliveries !
definitely or if they cant offer formal delivery. Home delivery put pressures on buyer. Rejecting it makes you feel bad for the employee who drove the car to you.
At least wait a year
Lesson 2 don’t buy one until they get their act together!
Karos Agree. 6 months is not enough. It will probably be better quality some point in 2021.
@@SupremeChief1 that statement is true for model 3. but for Y which is 75% based on the 3. 6 months is more than enough.
Today, I went to pick up my model Y, but I eventually rejected the delivery. There are too many quality issues.
I love how people say they're zero maintenance
I had to reject my Y on delivery day, way too many issues.
Navin
They are now doing contactless delivery. How did you reject the delivery?
I refused delivery of mine too. Terrible condition. Have another coming
Smart move, but long wait again 🙄
Same here
When I got there I made it very clear I needed time to look through the vehicle. I did so and found many of the issues you’re seeing in videos about Model Ys. Paint chips, one headlight and one taillight not flush against vehicle as it should be. Paint chips on the hood. Major gaps along truck. Misaligned trim around the wheels. Fold down button didn’t work on the left side. Very disappointing. Beautiful car, and I still want one. All of these issues need to be dealt with in the factory though. Not getting mine until that happens. In the end, they asked if I still wanted the car, I said no. The delivery agent was very nice and totally understandable. I told her to keep me on the list and call me back in a few months.
Sorry that you’ve had so many issues with your model Y. On the positive side, it gives you reasons to make videos. 😀
Very true
First rule of buying a new car. Don't buy the first year production. This guy is learning that the hard way. As for the seats... dude, just put a spacer on the shorter one and a longer bolt. It will be slightly off, but not noticeable unless you are siting in it. ;)
@@davidbeppler3032 Just put a spacer and a longer bolt? Are you aware of the cost of these cars?
Ignoring the possible warranty and insurance implications there is no way I would be working on a brand new, $60k car. If I wanted scrap I'd buy a Fiat.
Yeah, he'll be raking in the dough with 100,000 views.
Um th-cam.com/video/4kWOburq4Fc/w-d-xo.html
I wonder if Tesla will cancel his referral points like they did with Rich Rebuilds?
They only cancel points if you if you say how you REALLY feel.
Lol good one
This is why I waited almost two years before buying a TM3. Never buy the first year production of any car.
Kurt Kortner not just car. 1st gen of ANY Tech product.
I tell this to everyone. Wait until all the bugs and kinks are worked out first.
But the Model 3 still has all of the same build quality issues as it did initially... It still has panel gap and paint issues. The interior is still cheap and loud. The drivetrain still shudders randomly. The only thing that has changed is that they have sent some updates to the iPad on the dash. I'll wait a few more years until a company that cares more about the quality of a luxury car starts making EVs. The powertrain of the tesla isnt really anything new in the world of EVs. They all have insane torque. That wont be hard to recreate.
Umm, even buying the latest model of an ICE car, I have never seen such quality problems. There are teething issues, then there are Tesla issues.
This was so annoying to watch, I wish I had a cybertruck to scrape around walls for therapy.
These quality control issues are inexcusable for a $60,000 car.
Paying luxury car level prices for amateur hour manufacturing
Did you end up returning the car? We also had a MY delivered with most of the issues you had mentioned above. We ended up returning it.
You sounds like me with my Model X. Its never ending.
This is so disappointing to hear. I can hear the love you have for the Y in your voice but man I am not that forgiving. The more I pay for a car the more I want it to be perfect. I have a 2018 SQ5 which I was thinking of replacing with a Y. I am now really thinking against it. The only issue is two recalls for the same issue- wheel arch trim pieces coming lose. I have also had a bit of non-reproducable computer glitches that are solved with a restart. Each car I have ever owned has had some level of issues, but what you describe is more than I think I could take.
Fully agree with your points.. picking mine up on Friday. If it's not 90% satisfactory I'm refusing delivery. My Model 3 was second year and it was 99% perfect. Fingers crossed.
@@RoadRallyLife Goodluck man! Smart move waiting till the second year.
Keep waiting....sincerely, I forgot how many appointments.
Save a bit longer and wait for the Taycan based suv that is inevitable or go for an E-tron. I've driven a model 3 directly after a Q5 (not an SQ5 but still S-line) and you REALLY notice the difference in noise, build quality and materials.
If you're set on one please take a decent test drive first. Its an eye opener.
@@siraff4461 I really enjoyed the additional back seat space and rear hatch space in the SQ5 versus the Macan, if the Taycan based SUV has less overall storage than the Y that will make it a tough decision. The supercharger network is also a big plus. I just wish Tesla would get the build quality under control to make my decision easy. I see what you are saying though around build quality. The Audi is super nice on the inside and I have only looked at vids of the Y. I will have to drive one first for sure.
This video (and many similar videos on Model Y deliveries) is making me quite nervous as I wait for my delivery date.
Me too
Also me
Get a BMW X3 30e like I did, amazing car.
this is why people started buying foreign made cars decades ago
Like for a price of really nice Mercedes GLC or bit basic GLE, you get a car which has lower quality than 8k Dacia. Really dont get why people buy, if I need electric SUV I would get E-Tron or if I cant afford it, I-Pace got much cheaper and range is not bad, has a bit slower charging (still ok though) but quality is worth 70 - 100k car.
No, that is not correct. The US cars of the past were exploding when you hit them in the back. They had major problems with motors, transmission and every other issue you can think of. These are cosmetic issues. Tesla is solid, no recalls in 8 years. Every other car makers has so many. Check youtube for all the Ford people with horrible issue with truck and cars. These are 100 year old companies putting out cars that can literally kill people. Watch a few.
@@TravelwithPavel The problems are not all the cars and most the cars don't have issues. These are cosmetic issues. Any other car you buy that is fairly new is going to have issue. Give it 6 months and most of the issue will be fixed. If you want to travel some, Tesla is the best car to have with the Supercharges. They are also the safest cars in the US. I just looked for an Ipace in my city, there was one available and it's MSRP was 89k, probably get it for less, I hate dealerships?
I have seen the car, I don't like the back end, IMO. E-tron is 76k, probably hagel them down in a few hours.
I ordered mine June 2019 I ordered the upgrade version. They text me June 2 and they said they are on a process of building it with in 10 days. Yesterday I text them they said they're looking for a VIN# that has the same configuration with my order. It can be earlier. I can't understand they're supposed to manufacture the most expensive one first but they really didn't do that. I think they have issues in manufacturing. I was starting to change my mind and just get the Model 3.
I feel you. I own the Model S (2016) / X (2016) / 3 (2018). The X has the most issue being 1st gen. The 3 has pain / cosmetic issues due to the rush to buy before tax incentive is gone. We are in line for the Y but I will wait 3-6 months from now to take delivery.
I just received my model 3 and love it! But, the front bumper and hood were repainted and it was very clear! They should get there QA QC issues sorted out!
You would think Tesla would have figured this out by now. They have major quality control issues.
They are hiring ppl with sh*t attitudes and little to no skill in Quality. QC is too lenient and overworked.
So we should be sure to immediately report any missing paint so Tesla knows "we didn't cause it."
How can the customer cause "missing paint"?
Thx for the video. May I ask whether Tesla fixes your back seat alignment now? Having the same issue on my new delivery, very disappointed. I’m waiting for the service appt to get it fixed, but worried if they don’t have a solution at all...
So, all these videos point to exterior fit and finish and interior fit and finish. Mechanically, how is the vehicle doing? Motors, brakes, AC, radio, lights and wipers?
Your car has more issues and has been in the repair shop more than my Camry with 220,000 miles.
Exceeded all expectations. Stop buying into the “failure” of Tesla.
Sorry Bin...... though I have yet to buy a Tesla, I can not knock their tenacity. They were scoffed, laughed at, and called a failure from the start, that they never would survive, etc etc, etc. Those were experts that did not see the future monetization that the cars were to be just one cog within..... a much much bigger picture. Elon just has to work on that ego. IT is the only thing that might be his undoing.
Finally talked my wife into going from Lexus to Tesla. (June 23rd 2020) Picked up our model 3. During Pick up inspection, we found 5 paint bubble and 2 paint run at different places on the car. (July 6th 2020)Tesla made me an appointment to repair my brand new Tesla paint job. They still have my car in a 3rd party paint shop today. I sent tesla service technician a text to get an update and he said, they're still getting approval for the paint work. (July 10th 2020) They still have our car and so I sent him another text to get some status on my model 3 but no reply at all. (July 16th 2020 morning) I sent Tesla service tech a text again and he finally replyed with (painted shop said they do not antipate repaires being completed until next week. I called the paint shop and the paint tech said, we sent tesla the estimate July 9th 2020 and checked back with them for repair approval on July 14th 2020 but still have not received a repair approval from tesla. July 17th 2020 and I still can't enjoy my new car. Very disappointed in Tesla. Should have stayed with Lexus.
Id take the lexus any time
the only problem with having a super quiet electric car is that you can hear everything!
Facts
According to interior noise level tests (Alex on Autos for one) found it was actually louder inside compared to similarity priced vehicles. The uncovered glass roof may account for part of that.
The Model 3 I test drive wasn’t exceptionally quiet when moving either.
@Car Fli i meant quiet as in there is no sound of the combustion engine drowning the rattles or noises from the car.
@@elmervallarta The engine does not mask any other sounds because you don't even hear it. There are EQCs and Etrons and Taycans that do NOT have these issues. Do not try to justify how poor a tesla is made with the fact that it is electric. Even the Renault Zoe does not have the issues you mention. Combustion engines do not hide any noises.
I can relate to this. lol. Just turn on spotify i guess.
I ordered mine in Sept 2019 and I should be taking delivery Friday June 12th.
I ordered mine (in black) Oct. 2019 and I am taking delivery Monday June 22nd. I haven't seen a black one yet so maybe it will be the first in my area.
June 12th !!
So you get it
So, was it ok or did you refuse it?
Thanks for this excellent detailed review of Model Y,... I booked a Y recently. The closest delivery dealer is 3 hours away in Pittsburgh, I cannot be running for maintenace fixes. I am curious to know how quiet is this car, and does the driver seat have good lumbar support.
Most issue they can send out mobile service to you. Just check the car and make sure looks good, these are cosmetic issues.
Wow, that makes Trabant look good.
How does that seat issue get through quality control?
There doesn’t seem to be any quality control department 😉 wish I was joking
Dude, I totally get you. I have a few of the issues that you have had with my Model Y. Almost all of my issues are fit and finish. You should see the entire trim on my rear hatch. It's got a gap so big that I can stick my entire hand down the hole in between the rear glass and the trim. They are apparently going to replace the entire thing, let's hope that they do... This would be my 4TH APPOINTMENT with them. I am also worried that this is... my new life? It's frustrating and I get you.
I would be frustrated as hell when i would pay so much for a new car that has so many issues.
Do not buy the first year a car is produced. Every company has thousands if not tens of thousands of issues the first year.
@@davidbeppler3032 We are speaking about quality control look at his paint defects.
Did they finally get your fronk issues fixed? I am having the same issue with my model Y, they replaced the latch and sensor and it is still doing it. I have another appointment set for them to work on it again next week.
The real test is what happens down the road, lets say a couple of years and then you will know how well the car is built!
I think I want a model y in a couple of years (and my service center is less than 30 minutes away) but I hope they will fix issues like that before then.
i have no doubt about that
So I've been in the EXACT same boat as you just with the Model 3. I absolutely love my car. But early VIN, so there is a laundry list of issues every few months. In the two years that I've owned my car, it's probably been in service 15 times without any exaggeration. Mostly fit and finish issues, squeaks and rattles, and some faulty hardware. I hate to break it to you, but unfortunately this is the life you're forced to live with an early model. I have learned my lesson and will never get another Tesla below VIN 100,000. I know so many current owners that have had zero issues with their cars, but none of them are early builds. And I've talked to quite a few people, considering I run the everythingtesla Instagram. The only thing I would truly caution you on is to MAKE SURE you take care of any rattles or squeaks before 12 months or 12,000 miles (whichever comes first). It's not covered under warranty after that, which sucks, because on occasion I still get the squeak that I took my car to service 3 times for to fix. Hopefully, you don't have as many problems as I have had, but best of luck regardless! (:
It sounds like there is some serious buyers remorse that you're trying to overcome by saying you still love the car.
You should expect better out of a vehicle and an automaker than what you have experienced.
Plot twist: It's not just early models. It happens to this day with the Model 3, although with reduced frequency.
Not just early models. I have a 2018 S and I’ve had over 20 issues in under 2 years.
Another Great Video Ryan. Does anyone have any news on the Model Y Long Range Rear Wheel Drive? I preordered in October 2019 and have not heard a word on when or even if? Thanks!
Hi. I really enjoyed your videos. So you recommend to wait for the model Y until those quality control issues are fix? Or get the model 3 now that all those major issues are fix? I drive a lot and I’m just concern about the warranty. I usually drive 35K every year. I want to keep the car for a long time. Would it be worth it the price of the model Y?
7:54 , Don't know how they fixed a squeak in the headrest? They probably just sprayed WD-40 into it.
Then his next complaint would be "The Model Y stinks like petrol!" LOL!
wd-40 is bad for this issues, you have to use grease, wd-40 will fix it but then evaporates and the squeaking returns after couple days
My thoughts exactly lol!
The fix for the head rest rattle is to remove them completely and spread the metal bars that insert into seat. Apply Krytox lubricant on said metal and reinstall. Helps prevent rattling.
Bet he has a ton of double sided tape on the other side of those loose panels lol
That’s one of the reason why I haven’t bought a Tesla and I got an Audi
What did your windshield cost? I am wondering what spare parts are costing in comparison to other cars.
I have a new model y built in dec 2020, hearing squeaks and rattles from the back that comes and goes any ideas Ryan ?
man that sucks. tesla called me last week and asked me if im ready for model Y, i told them to put it on hold until december till i get my job back. hopefully by that time, all those crazy annoying issues will be fixed.
the tesla fanboys also known as the musketeers would say there is nothing wrong with any teslas
re paint quality, did u check the areas behind the front wheels to see if any paint has come off / chipped away?
I worked on Yugos briefly and also DeLoreans (the dealer I worked for went through several upstart makes) and the things I see here reek of those makes.......
I love how honest this video is 🙏
Ironically, I hope the Chinese made Model Y will be much better built.
Had the same trim problem, I have been to the service center twice and will be going back again. I have a Model Y, have had issues with paint, scratched plastic, fit and finish issues, window raddle on driver's side, panel spacing issues, trim issues, stains after service, dirty after service, etc. Pretty crazy actually, I live an hour and a half from the service center and it's a drag that I have to drive back and forth so many times.
The rear seats have a reclining feature, IIRC. Is one of them reclined more than the other?
Nope. They’re like that whenever they’re in the same position.
Ryan, ask for a car replacement. This is so frustrating honestly.
Welcome to a software company
Thanks Ryan. Very timely as we are driving 2 hours to pick up our Y tomorrow...I'll make sure my wife doesn't leave in our Model 3 until I've given the car the once, twice, three times a lady over!
Do you have any thoughts on the 19” vs 20” wheels on the Y?
For the Average Person? What does he mean?
He is not average but he is driving a car with a ton on defects 🤦♂️😂😂😂
Thank God he is not “ average “ 🤣🤣🤣
Is it okay for the average person to not get what they pay for? I don't understand his point either lol
Buying a newly released vehicle from any brand has some risk. Multiply the risk by several times buying an early build of a new Tesla model.
Agreed I have the 2193rd Y and it’s perfect to me lol
The uneven surface noise mine has and it’s driving me mad. Any fix?
Europian car companies can't even get a car out of the factory with this quality.
It is common knowledge that even with luxury German brands, first model year is trouble. Not just because production is not perfect, but also service doesn't have experience fixing the issues. Take a look at BMW forums and you'll see similar issues especially for first model year cars. Your video is factual, and I would be as adamant as you are to get these fixed, but perspective is important. Recognize that you jumped through hoops to get one of the first cars that rolled off the line, and give it a bit of time to get it made perfect...
Mercedes is the only Company capable of not having this issues.
The "average person" doesn't want a shxt paint job or repairs.
Thanks Ryan, feels like what I also had before, I buy one year a go TM3(June 2019) also had a lot of issues even if this was already 1 year in production, but still lots of appiontment to get this issues fixed. I had my last appoint one month ago which fixed my last issue (I was there 4x to get this fixed) that was whisle nois from driver mirrow. So took me 11 months to get all done, but I also need to wait every time ~1,5-2 month for follow up appointment. So I think you need a car with less issues wait 2-3 years after realse and then buy. Then you will only have 2-3 smaller issues :). Fried of my buy a new TM3 very fresh and he only have 2-3 smaller one, so looks like 3 years is good for tesla.
Is it "free" if you have to take off work to get the service done? Especially on issues that should not have made it out of QC.
Excuse me..... They "don't know how to fix it?". It surprised me that people are actually putting up with this BS
Hahah
Tesla buyers seem to be oblivious to how a modern car is supposed to be built. They seem to enjoy buying overpriced and poorly made vehicles that almost all look alike.
As a Tesla investor, these videos make me nervous hehe I really hope they solve all your issues so you can enjoy the car as you should.
They will solve it after 6-8months.
It seems Tesla doesn’t go through same scrutiny like other car companies also youtubers are hyping it that makes people wants them now.
Sell. They've reached a peak.
Mike G
Not a good analogy.
Amazon reached its peak for the last 10 years.
Same here. I haven't ordered mine yet as most new models always have issues the first year. But at these prices you should expect better up front quality. You're paying BMW / Mercedes prices for Dodge - Plymouth quality.
I got my Model 3 in September 2018. Never a single problem until the charger port still worked fine, but lost one of its open-command functions. I got an appointment with mobile service, and it was repaired at my home in less than an hour.
Second appointment was not an issue - HW install. Again, mobile service (this requires good WiFi which I have at my home). The service guy did a complete job including all OTA updates. He happened to notice someone had used a black sharpie on my midnight silver metallic paint. He fixed it while waiting for one of the software updates.
So, GREAT SERVICE, only a minor issue with the charging door that caused me no inconvenience, and zero maintenance over the 21 months I've had the car.
I also had a Model S for over three years prior to the Model 3. A few service issues, but all of them dealt with on time, expertly and with great service people. I've owned a lot of cars in my life, but never anything as good as my Teslas.
The window not lowering and smacking the trim thing happens to my mini cooper when the battery is low and needs to be changed
"I guess the first service was successful"? A really reasonable and informative video punctuated with odd hints of fanboyism? No one would put up with this from Hyundai. I would consider reutring the car.
Thanks so much for the info! for the $60k, I'll wait - gonna take myself off the list
Many people on this video have received a perfect car, people love to complain. Take it and if it has issues, let them fix it, it is a new model in the middle of the virus. Many ICE cars have much more real issues!!!
@@MyUniversalUniversity Why are you replying to every comment on this video? Lol
@@birdrustler hes a stupid fanboy that cant think for himself. Bet he has an iphone too lmfao😂😂..
iPhones new update included widgets. Except android has had widgets since 2008, 12 year old technology 🤣😂.
I found your video very helpful and will go back to the checklist you provided when I receive my vehicle. Thanks!
THANK YOU Ryan. Another very informative important post. From someone waiting to see if they have fixes for the Model Y before I buy, I was hoping for things to be fixed by now. Thank you for sharing!
yeah, I'm going wait a year or two to buy mine...
Thinking I should as well.
I’m going to wait till I have enough money to buy mine 😢
Buy a better car in general maybe🤔
Tesla selling a batch of Protype Model Y. People praised this Brand and its owner too quickly.
what did you use for interior spray?
Chemical guys interior spray. It’s a general purpose one
