Your MY is just like that? I have service appointment in a week. I feel like I hear too much outside noise possibly because of door misalignment...

Very disappointing to read this and that the OP has had to deal with such piss poor quality control on his car. I wish him all the best in getting these issue resolved to his satisfaction.
On a positive note, I ordered my MYLR about a month ago. I recently stopped by the local SC and was able to test drive one again, just to make sure I was making the right decision. While at the dealership there were about a dozen Teslas lined up outside to be delivered to their buyers. Most were model Ys. I walked around all of them and looked them over pretty carefully. Vehicles were from both Fremont and Austin. Outside of a few minor panel gaps, the vehicles looked great. I walked away believing I made the right decisions and I stopped looking at anymore ICE cars. I have even started buying some accessories.

Did you have them fix the bumper color or you’re accepting it as is? They have replaced my bumper twice and both times they are a mismatch. The original bumper was a perfect match and now service is saying it’s within spec. But clearly the new bumpers are yellow.
my service appointment is coming up on Thursday but I already got a message a day after I created the service request that the paint issue is normal and it's due to difference between metal and plastic material. not really concerned about this. I just wish Tesla would have used a non-pearl white paint and this wouldn't of been an issue.
Keep arguing with them. This is unacceptable. Four bumpers later I finally have one that is acceptable.
I’ll check out the new white Y’s being delivered while I’m there, hopefully one matches and I can use that as a reference. Thx
Installed Dynamat (67 Mil) in the rear quarter panels (covered the entire inside area) with a double layer in the center of the fender area. Covered the rear wheel wells with Dynamat, again with a double layer in the center. Covered the side and center trunk wells with Dynamat with a double layer on the bottom of the center well. replaced the styrofoam pad at the bottom of the center well with high density rubber foam pad of the same thickness. Result: further reduction on low frequency/booming noise. Much better than just tollerable. Also a significant reduction in road/tire noise from the rear. Remaining noise is now wind noise at highway speeds. I shouldn't have to do this to a new, $55K car. But now that I have, I'm quite pleased with the car.
Glad to hear that these improvements helped.. did you buy any chance take any pictures of the work while you were doing it ? I'm still waiting on my car but anticipate needing to something similar. Any steps/pictures/videos would be most helpful... Thanks !
Dropped off the car today at the SC and every single white Model Y on the lot had different colored bumpers. Not a single one matched the body.
I've never seen a white M3 or MY with matching bumpers. But some seem to say they have??
I already taken my 2023 model y to tesla shop multiple times. Only thing to say the customer service is awful, still fighting to get them to fix issues with brand new car.
A section of the rubber strip between the roof and the lift-gate is under the metal part.
Anyone has the same issue? I’m not sure if that will cause any problems. I’m not too confident that the service center can fix that without causing any problem or making it worse! I’ll leave it alone if it’s just cosmetic.

Complaints are ok (fairly obvious this is the case or there are 100s of threads that wouldnt exists here now). Trolling isnt, though.
I own an I5 and a MYLR due to pick up this week. My friends have MY and it is a great car to have. I am sorry that you had issues with I5 as from my own Personal experience, it is great EV. There is a Technical service bulletin that address the 12V battery issue can can be fixed. However what I don't understand is I5 was released in US in Mid December and how is that your car is in shop since Oct 31st? You wouldn't go wrong going with either EV's as they both are good cars.
Poor build quality and unbearable cabin noice issues are well documented at this time. Sad to see Tesla hasn't addressed it. I am over it and moving onto another brand.

2021 Model Y lots of road noise rumble on stock 19's - any advice for improvement?
I have the 21” Michelin PS AS4 tires and Mountainpass Adjustable Comfort Coilovers, rpmtesla noise deduction kit with extra sealing added to hatch (will address a lot of boom). The most significant fix for all the road noise has been applying butyl and foam sound deadener inside the front wheel...

Our Model Y, white, LR, standard wheels, was delivered April 16th at the Marietta SC in Atlanta. I own a 2015 P85D purchased new 8 years ago. I was sorta expecting the worse whereas build quality from various social media. I couldn’t have been further wrong.
Our Y was built in Austin, serial #100,3xx. I looked it over well during the delivery process, and we are a happy Tesla family now.
Today, 5 weeks later, I gave Snow White it’s 1st wash & extensive detailing to see what we actually got. The panel gaps around the entire car where exact, Mercedes couldn’t have been prouder. That has to be a by product of the new production methods in Austin, mainly the mega casting’s for the front & rear. Couldn’t be more impressed with the gaps, and that the trim pieces are in alignment as well.
The paint job is fantastic! No flaws found. Better than the paint on my S from Fremont. Maybe new factory, new paint shop, less restrictions in Texas vs California?
The car was washed, prepped, and ready for delivery. This is the experience everyone should have. Tesla, take notice, and thanks for a beautiful Y with a seamless delivery experience.
