    Rear Seats - Not Aligned on Delivery

    How did your service appointment go with the seat release lever in the trunk? Were they able to fix the issue or did they have to replace the seat? I have the same issue with my rear passenger side seat where it would slowly release from the rear trunk lever. Now it does not release at all...

    Tinting Front Windshield

    I ended up going with Formula One Stratos 70 for the front windshield, which looks to be comparable to Xpel Prime XR Plus 70. Both films are stated to possess nano-ceramic particle technology. Tint installation was performed at G5 Tint Shop in Pasadena, CA. See the performance/specification...

    Tesla Service - Post Delivery

    We are having the exterior problems fixed as we speak. Our appointment was originally for next Tuesday, 6/30, but we were able to change the date earlier this week on the App to bring the car in today. Then we got bumped on the app twice to later dates! We had to call the Tesla service center...

    Tesla Service - Post Delivery

    We were told by the Delivery Specialist that we had to take photos of all the problems seen and upload them into the Tesla app under "Service". This documents what's noticed and needs to be rectified. So many people were picking up their MYs that Tesla could not individually fix any issues...

    ("Normal" delivery states): Does it make a difference to wait to make final payment?

    Picked up my MY this past Sunday. Yes, you have to accept delivery on your app in order to find and unlock your car. However, you can still reject the car. Final paperwork is in the car for you to complete and return. If you don't want to accept delivery, you would not complete the paperwork...

    Tesla Service - Post Delivery

    We were told by the Tesla Service Specialist that you have 100 miles to report anything that is wrong with the car. I would document, through the Tesla App under "Service", anything you find prior to hitting your 100 miles.

    Model Y - the dirty dozen

    Based on your photos, I would have rejected the car also. We took over 2 hours going over interior and exterior of our MY, and decided to take delivery. Although we had issues both inside and out, they are minor compared to yours. The biggest issues we had were the rear passenger seat failed...

    With so many quality issues after delivery - how many people are actually happy with their car?

    Like most people who recently took delivery of their Y, we had issues that needed to be rectified through a service appointment. All in all, we had a positive experience while taking delivery. Since we took the last appointment of the day, Tesla delivery specialists were able to actually spend...

    Problems With Trade In Offer?

    Carmax gave me 20% more than Carvana and Shift. I didn't even try with Tesla based on all the posts.

    Experience of Inspecting MY at Delivery

    You can definitely see it. However, my wife was okay with it. We plan to also apply a paint protective film.

    Experience of Inspecting MY at Delivery

    Our MY VIN is 17XXX. In detail, the passenger side rear seat is slow to release and falls forward when it is set in the upright position. However, the seat will not fall forward when it is reclined. You can hear the release mechanism trying to release the seat, but nothing happens in the...

    Experience of Inspecting MY at Delivery

    Yes, I scheduled a follow-up service appointment on the Telsa app. I would do this before you leave the dealership to get the best time. We waited until we were home so that we could upload all the problem photos taken. We had over 40 photos. By the time, we uploaded the photos and tried to...

    Experience of Inspecting MY at Delivery

    I took delivery this afternoon in Burbank. We spent over two hours to document all the things we found wrong with the car. Ultimately, problems found did not rise to the level of rejecting the car. We were now rushed by the Tesla representatives and took the time to help us properly document...
