See the service bulletin sticky thread related to the issue. While you're at the SC tell them to check all the other issues most importantly the steering wheel and calipher bolt issues.

How do we start and maintain a running list of car wash locations that don’t ruin your trim? Maybe a sticky thread?:)

Very interested if the manual recommends avoiding car washes? Also if the Teslavangelists, with untreated trim, will take one for the team and try a cash wash and report back so we can have a stratification of statistical data within an error factor of +/- 2% to support this thread. Any one off...

They offered a full repaint? My SC only offered to repaint the problem doors which I actually prefer over a full paint job. I don’t disagree a full car paint job would be better quality than Tesla’s original but still the idea of it makes me feel uneasy.

LOL, oh yes reminded me of those silly clinical meta-analyses articles from random authorities. Very high degree of certainity with my assertion when it is backed by an industry expert who provides consulting services to the entire automotive industry. You should avoid forums because...

OK I guess the source specifically addressing paint issues was not enough facts. Some more facts; Sandy Munro quote on the MY “Paint is still crap. I really don’t like it, ... They really need to do something about that.” In his YouTube tear down of the MY, he actually offers the name of an...

Would an industry expert suffice as a "source"? Sandy Munro Thinks Tesla Fremont Paint Shop Is A Piece Of Rubbish

Have a door mismatch issue also but doubt they will settle for FSD. The paint correction would be blending the color on the two doors, probably costing $1,500 to fix vs. $8k charge to you for FSD (even though no cost to them).

The various posts on this forum, YouTube reviews, EV publications, phone app delivery checklists, etc. detailing the numerous issues are a good indication that a very high % of MYs have paint, fit/finish issues and now trim discoloration problems. I can easily say the majority of white MYs have...

Why isn't this a sticky thread any more?

Just to be certain customer rep I spoke with previously was correct, I called road side assistance this morning and a different rep confirmed "loaner tires/rims are not available in your area, they are working on getting them issued. You should call your service center and tell them about your...

Anyone else have experience with receiving a loaner tire/rim for their Model Y? After getting a damaged rim which caused a flat, Tesla road side assistance advised that my location of the country area had not yet received loaner tires/rims therefore my MY had to be towed to the dealership. They...

Agree, actually it is quite fk-ing ridiculous. Among the issues at delivery and other issues a month into owning this POS, time will only tell the other problems 1-2 years into owning. Anyway by no means are most MYs even close to being decent considering the price and the panel gaps, different...

Any issues with it scratching the side of the display?

I like this also but saw Ryan Shaw (Tons of Tesla videos) on You Tube say he liked something very similar but it scratched the side of display screen.

Too bad you feel you need to change your order but makes sense. Did all have bumper differences? If so I would not change my order over that. How many had mismatched doors? If you were not considering the white interior I would recommend it is beautiful and everyone that sees it loves it.

Anybody know the interior filter size for the MY? Ordering the Breathe Easy but Amazon lists filter size not by Make and Model.

I would not use the VIN as a comparison or some sort of indication. I walked through the dealer's lot the day after I took delivery and there were some white MYs that were fine.

Have two German cars, both white, and the bumpers are a very slight different shade vs the metal panels. MY was manufacturered in July. It is easy to pick up the difference as long as you have decent sunlight and can stand at least 10' back from each side with straight line of vision of the...

As I sat charging my MY (which has passenger side doors painted different shades of white) I watched what must be a very close relative of my MY be delivered off a car carrier. BTW my doors are being repainted by SC, hope the same is done for car in the picture.

Most white cars, across numerous manufacturers, have paint color differences between the metal parts and plastic parts. More importantly, has to be, 50% of white MYs have different colored doors. My MY is in the body shop getting its passenger side doors re-painted. Was not aware that different...

And the fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror and fuzzy black seat covers with the Playboy emblem.

I really like the diffuser on the roof. Well at least it is easy to find the car when parked at a charging station amongst all the other black M3.

I'm glad you circled it, would not of noticed. /sarcasm. Hard to unsee.

I agree, don't like the Snap Plate attaching to the grill, the Bandit is a better design.

I signed up for the code and did not receive it so I just ordered the mats without the code. Received the code in an email the next day, gave them my order number and they credited my credit card for 10%.

I like the side mirrors downward tilt when MY is in reverse but is there anyway to adjust how much of a tilt? Tried to adjust the mirrors while in reverse but it is only temporary and saving the change effects the side mirror’s normal position.

Group may be too old for this but reminds me of the Benny Hill show where the Doctor stops the patient while he is leaving the hospital because he lost his watch inside the patient during surgery.

Similar experience but after taking delivery; when I got home was again checking the rear seat reclining button in the rear hatch area. Flipped the seats down and noticed between the trunk area and the rear seat base what seemed like trim that was not attached .... was concerned it was broken...

Brilliant. Kid is an oracle.

I get to a point Tesla has some issues but the checklist implies that if you don't point out (and find) every single issue at delivery Tesla is going to screw you (i.e. warranty is worthless).

Was just looking at the "Best Posts" section of the forum in particular "another checklist" in the most helpful section. Granted parts of it are very helpful, I'm OCD-ish and I had a paint issue at delivery but most of the potential issues listed would be covered by warranty. If I did not own a...

I'm interested in the Tesla Tire Repair Kit, does this tire have inner foam which may reduce the effectiveness of the tire puncture sealant?

"Sounds" good. Any solution for the rear seatbelt latches knocking against the side pillar?

Just took delivery of a MY so working through this stuff; seems that from your login on Tesla.com under "manage/card access/add user" you can add someone's email address and they can access and drive your car after setting up a Tesla account from your email link? I don't see add user option on...

From the back seat look under the front seats for a vent ... your opinion if coins, skittles, small toys, etc. can get stuck in there and rattle around. Great you think it is a made up issue but apparently a couple manufacturers are selling a solution. Not sure how "was installing floor mats in...

Amazon reviewer says does not fit Model Y

Also a shareholder and agree there are issues but want to add had an $60k Audi with delivery issues (scratched windshield and damaged leather seat - all fixed) and a $75k BMW with delivery issue (digital speedometer with odd discoloration). Actually had another BMW that had same vent issue, a...

I think the first idea makes the most sense. Another few ideas, turn up radio to drown out the coins sliding around in the ducts or alternate focus onto the rattling noise coming from rear seat belts hitting the side molding. It's all fun and games until a coin(s) gets in there. Actually...

Was installing new floor mats on my MY and noticed the under seat, rear floor vents. Not only are they incredibly cheap, thin plastic which appear very easy to break but they're not sealed/capped to prevent coins or any other crap from rolling into them. Anybody cap them or have ideas?

Received the 9 piece sport set (MY) and they're very nice, so glad went with these. Not sure if I saw it here or Amazon but reviewer said there was an issue with the front passenger mat being too large .... NOT true, all of the mats fit perfect. Website says provide email address and discount...

OP, your choice but disagree that it was necessary to decline delivery. The tail light issue is on every single Tesla and if you look at the outer edge it lines up. The (only) imperfection is in the paint seems which it looks like it can be corrected with a drop of compound and a slight couple...

Was at $55,990 ... $990 too high for NJ $5,000 rebate but now qualify without having to change configuration!!!!!

Excited to find out in speaking with Sales rep Tesla is cutting the base price $3,000

Tesla website is reflecting NJ's $5,000 credit which is based on the MSRP of the base car before options. An AWD with numerous options is showing eligible totaling more than $55k. If you change the order to the performance model the $5,000 credit is no longer eligible.
