    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    Update: Tesla handled this very well. They showed empathy, understanding and treated my issue with urgency without me needing to ask for it or raise my voice. James and Dan at the Elston Chicago service center were excellent and did a great job communicating. James also, somehow, managed to...

    QC Issues -- Leaking roof/rear hinge seal

    Oh man, sorry about this...it's such a shitty feeling. Hope it gets resolved and keep us posted.

    QC Issues -- Leaking roof/rear hinge seal

    Gotta drive to detect leaks...if there's water in the headliner, it'll come out then you drive.

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    Vehicle is with Tesla now. They have been decent and have accelerated my case even though they're backed up right now. They seem willing to take any measure to make it right, which is good. Likely they will replace the roof glass and perhaps the windshield. I really do love the car. Drove...

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    Update: Much better communication from Tesla today. It's clearer they will fix it and I'm happy, so far, with their stated commitment to making it right.

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    Update: had a good call with Tesla in Chicago. They are relatively confident they can fix the issue and replace whatever needs to be replaced. Service appointment on Thursday...we'll see...

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    We have lemon laws in the US...I think I have to give Tesla a chance to remedy it...but, uh, would you want a car that's had this issue???

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    No. Washed with a hose behind my garage.

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    Still ZERO response from Tesla. I'm blown away.

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    Good question. No. Only tinted the windows, windshield and roof glass have not been touched.

    Model Y tint pictures

    Yes, for uv and heat. Factory tint doesn't do anything on those fronts.

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    I can't. it all looks fine... but since the interior leakage is so high up, I assume the faulty seal must also be very high...but how does this get missed in QC???

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    I had just washed the car.

    Model Y tint pictures

    No idea what the material is but got both front and back done...absolutely updates the look of the car and is a great value.

    Raining inside my 2-week-old Model Y

    I really didn't want to post this. I love the Model Y, it's a great car and I really love Tesla. However... Caveat Emptor: My Model Y is leaking water through the headliner. Bring a bottle of water to delivery and test the seals on the roof of your model Y (around the edges of the glass...

    Red Y Deliveries Incoming

    Picked up Thursday. Fun first weekend. A few build quality issues (trunk lid alignment is not good at all and rear tailights are not installed correctly)...still love it though.

    Time Until MVPA/Payment appears

    Email tesla finance...they respond very quickly and will get it sorted out for you. If you don't have their email, call Tesla and they'll give it to you.

    VIN ..... early or late build?

    VINs aren't sequential. Promise. Vin #1 was mfgd two weeks ago.

    VIN #'s not sequential?

    Can confirm: VINs are NOT sequential AT ALL. Recently laid eyes on VIN 000001 which was apparently mfg 5/19/20

    Feeler: Model Y 21" Uberturbines for Sale

    Collecting the vehicle in 5 days. Wheels will be pristine as I'm taking them off after driving only 1-mile from delivery. Would like to sell the wheels immediately (seeking $4,500 for the set). Willing to entertain offers or sell with tires mounted, too (would be more, obviously). Located...

    Chicago Owners

    I'm going to lower the car and change the wheels - both should help performance and range. Got the bigger wheels because they didn't cost more and will presumably fetch more on the secondary market.

    VIN #'s not sequential?

    I'm taking delivery next week of a VIN that's even lower. Not concerned. Might have had bugs and been sent back, but if it looks good to me on my inspection and drives well for a week thereafter, I'm good. Have learned enough about common issues in this forum to know what to look for. If I...

    Race on Lakshore! Range isn't really going to impact how much I need to supercharge on trips to northwoods or Michigan, plus I've still got ICE cars if I want to avoid range anxiety.

    I went PUP...want to look fast/cool above else. Not ashamed.

    Just got the "We need to verify that you are proceeding with Tesla lending" text again?

    I got asked the question twice, too, by text, in conjunction with them confirming trade in.

    Don't get married to it - had a VIN in source code. Scheduled delivery...now no VIN anywhere, no MVPA...nothing...just more weird process from TSLA...

    Got a call for delivery

    Got two texts yesterday saying I have a VIN. Looked in source code this morning and there it is...15xx vin, tho...Red PUP, black int, AP... that's a low ass vin, no? Been sitting at Freemont? Local reject? hmmmm....

    Having second thoughts

    This has all been really helpful! I just got the text for the Y and am going to take it. I've driven the S before and am just obsessed with the performance. But, practically, I live in a city and need a smaller car. I also like that it's newer and I think it's the best way in to EVs for my...

    Having second thoughts

    Ordered MY a few months ago and have gotten a call but not the call. Red PUP, no FSD, first EV. Spent the bucks to get the charger installed in my garage already, which was not a small task and am totally sold on Tesla. But... Two things: 1. I have three kids in car seats. I own diono...

    Fantastic! Very jealous - I'm in Chicago, too and have gotten a call, but not the call :( Good to know they're still delivering!

    Stuck on "provide insurance" with no VIN

    I'm also stuck on "provide insurance" as a next step (I've uploaded it, but it hasn't moved from "next steps" to "completed"). Also have "drafting up contract." Has been this way for weeks, even after I got a call, three weeks ago, to confirm that I am not trading in a car...only advice I got...

    Just got the call!

    Totally agree. Also understand everyone is dealing with a complex and evolving situation, so I didn't press the guy on the other end of the line too hard :). Patience is a virtue...I guess

    Just got the call!

    I got a call today (Nevada #) just to confirm my details. No delivery date, no vin, no timeline. They just wanted to check details...that's it.

    VIN Assigned

    I don't know but HIGHLY doubt it. interchange/discount fees (140-250bps) would really hurt margins...

    Account page changed from 'Prepare for Delivery' to asking for details

    Been a couple weeks since I uploaded all my info...zero communication from Tesla...IDK why this this so hard for them to segment their deliveries and send a quick status email - even "sit tight, we're working on it..." would be great.

    Overview Next Steps Reset?

    It's so annoying. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Tesla really could communicate better. Just tell me I'm getting it in August then over-deliver on timing...or something, anything to stop me guessing when this thing is gonna show up!

    Wall connector

    I am waiting on MY - don't have delivery date or vin yet, but scheduled garage install of 14-50 NEMA outlet for late April ($1,100 in Chicago, with needing to reach detached garage from house's main breaker). If you're sure you're getting the car, suggest making the install appointment as...

    I'm hoping this is MY Red Performance car about to have VIN assigned to me:)

    I had the same thought! ordered the same spec. Looks frigging awesome and this isn't really an angle we've seen clearly before.
