I'm so sorry about your experience. This is certainly unacceptable. Hopefully 3rd time is a charm. You made the right decision to reject the first two cars. You certainly do not want to purchase a brand new car with these many issues that have to be rectified in service center. And you are...

Thank you for all the inputs. I actually test drove a model 3 LR AWD this past weekend and found the wind noise to be slightly better than the Y I had. The Y sounded like wind was hitting resistance on the top glass. This was not heard during the model 3 test drive. Also the 3 I test drove had...

Hi guys, I recently purchased a model Y and had to return it due to quality issues. Please see my post here: Interior, exterior and driving experience within spec?? I'm interested in the model 3. However, I have seen posts about paint chipping, door misalignment and panel gaps. How's the...

I'm sorry to hear your experience. I don't think they will provide any compensation for it. I ordered a model y and returned it due to quality issues. Out of the 5 days of ownership, it spent at service center for 4 days (including weekends). They won't extend return policy. At the end they...

I had a similar experience. Received the car last Wednesday. Turned the car in for service on Friday. They promised the car will be fixed on Monday. Turns out they over promised and under delivered. They don't have the parts. I'm with you. The service experience was terrible. It is so hard to...

Update Service center over promised and under delivered. They stated door seal parts will arrive in 2 weeks. Also the window seal is within spec and they couldn't reproduce the back seat rattle noise. I bought a car to drive with. I couldn't deal with the quality issues from this "brand new...

I would recommend using this delivery checklist below to inspect the car fully before accepting the car on your delivery day. If you can, test drive the car before signing your delivery acceptance. Tesla has some serious QC issues. polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist

You were very thorough. More issues will most likely arise after you test drive the car: possibly steering wheel misalignment, wind noise, and rattle noise, the list can go on. These all happened to me. My car didn't have paint issues but did have alignment and panel gaps. After I took it out of...

I just picked up the car on Wednesday. Only got a chance to drive the vehicle home and to the service center, that is about 60 mi. Didn't have the issues you posted. I had lot of wind noise and steering wheel alignment issue.

"Within spec" according to tesla rep. Panel gaps, misalignment, a lot of wind noise coming from top glass and left window/door, car can't drive straight. I used a thorough checklist at delivery. Didn't see any paint defects. I feel like the other little things I can check at home. That is why I...

Update: Drove the car to service center on Friday 6-12-20. Won't be done until 6-15-20. But an email was just sent to me saying one of the parts has to be ordered. So now who knows how long service will take. This is absurd for a $50k plus car. Asked them about extending return policy. They said...

Took delivery on 6-10-20 Lots of problems: 1. Panel gaps, alignment issues 2. Door seal defective, top glass seal defective 3. Can hear street noise, e.g. loud cars, at low speed. Can hear a lot of wind noise at driver seat from top glass and left window on highways, i.e. traveling at 50 mph or...

How long did that service appointment take?

I'm sorry that this is happening to you. Honestly I have only driven the car once or twice. I haven't experienced it. Hopefully it does not come up later. Thanks! Already did it. I read on this forum somewhere that service won't cover if the car has over 100 miles. I mean the delivery center...

A picture showing that around the wheel there is a screw sticking out. Seen around all 4 wheels...
