    Why did Tesla Service Touch My Perfectly Fine Panels and Make it Worse // Best Service Center in Bay Area Recs?

    My comments were to propose a possible reason why Tesla Service changed the panel gaps on the liftgate for John Lim and how to correct the panel gaps if he so desired. If you have neither panel gaps or booming noises you don't have need for the information I provided. Tesla Service, in my...

    Why did Tesla Service Touch My Perfectly Fine Panels and Make it Worse // Best Service Center in Bay Area Recs?

    "Booming" noise in a Model Y is normally related to the rear liftgate (vibration in the liftgate acting like a subwoofer). It looks like they may have adjusted the liftgate in hopes of reducing the "booming" noise. The panel gaps in your liftgate can be adjusted by turning the four rubber...

    You might try replacing the seals yourself. Check the work documentation on the left door and see what they did. You can get a subscription to the service manuals and parts catalog at "Tesla Service". The subscription is free and you can get parts by going to service location and asking for...

    Done with Tesla Model Y Performance after 2000km

    I purchased a Model Y Long Range (white, white interior, 19 inch wheels) on January 21, 2023. I agree with most of your review with one significant exception. I have owned a BMW 3 Series, 5 MBs, and a 911, and I still own a MB GLK 350. My opinion is that the Tesla Model Y is simply NOT a...

    2023 Model Y Unacceptable Build Quality and Issues

    Back and forth to work. Half side streets half expressway. Car is kept in an attached, insulated garage (about 40 degrees) and was conditioned every morning prior to driving. Parking at work was in a covered garage at a lower level that was probably between 30-40 degrees.

    2023 Model Y Unacceptable Build Quality and Issues

    My impression of the Model Y after 4 weeks: 1) Build quality is still a problem. 2) Response from the Service Center is very disappointing. 3) Low frequency noise, while only noticeable to people with high sensitivity hearing, is a design problem that should have been fixed in the first year of...

    2023 Model Y Unacceptable Build Quality and Issues

    UPDATE: After escalating to the service manager and then the site manager they adjusted both the driver side doors. It's not perfect but it's much better. No wind/water leaks. Passenger side windows are perfectly flush with B pillar. Drive side windows are off slightly, but now only...

    2023 Model Y Unacceptable Build Quality and Issues

    The vehicle is in the shop at the moment. After heated discussions with the Technician, the service manager and the site manager they agree to "take another look at it". We'll see what happens next week. I haven't had this bad of a quality build problem sinse the 70's!

    2023 Model Y Unacceptable Build Quality and Issues

    I picked up a new Model Y on January 21. The doors on the driver side don't line up with the pillar. they stick out about 1/4 inch, the windows don't touch the seals and the bottom of the pillar. Tesla is telling me this is within spec. It's also making a low frequency droning noise from...

    I'll bet they will increase the price of the Long Range model Y soon since the Standard Range will allow people to get the Tax credit.

    You are correct. Good catch. They are "All Wheel Drive". Looks like Tesla is now offering a standard range Model Y.
