This is the one I ordered and I think the one most talk about. Model 3 & Y Road Noise Reduction Kit -Gen. 2 (10 Pieces 2 Trunks) $45 w/ 20% Off I will hold off installing until after my first visit for Y repairs.

It would be this ->
Model 3 & Y Road Noise Reduction Kit -Gen. 2 (10 Pieces 2 Trunks) $45 w/ 20% Off
I went ahead and ordered it...plus the windshield wind noise kit ->
Model Y Wind Noise Reduction Kit ($24 with 20% Off)
Though I"m not sure what the consensus is with whether the Model Y needs the windshield kit or not...

Also talk to your service center about adding mud flaps behind the wheel wells. Might be helpful of dirt roads as well.

Yes, and they should have reasonable expectations. You know it won't be 100%, give the company time to fix things. I see too many videos from people pointing out small panel gaps and stuff, get real.
I reached out to EVANNEX, and they told me they have no plans to make them for MYs.
Do you know how loud those things are when running? I know you are joking but biohazard mode is not something you want to constantly.
[QUOTEWhich seal kit did you use?[/QUOTE]
www.rpmtesla.com. sells a 10 piece extra molding for Model Y - both sides A pillar/ B pillar / doors / frunk and hatch.
Pretty easy installation if you watch their installation video. Seems to reduce traveling noise and will mitigate dust getting in.

If you are driving on a dirt road, the noise will get masked, but you are right, it loud as crap on a regular road, especially when crawling around the city... but the air quality is amazing...
not laughing at your expense, but ALL 4 DOORS SHOW A DIFFERENT PAINT COLOR. Your rear bumper is also a different shade of white, but that is a little more forgivable, although your mismatch is really obvious (or is it just dusty?).
wow, Tesla should be so proud. Sorry, they told you to get lost on the mismatched paint. Anyone going to defend Tesla here????

A car unibody needs to be sprayed with the doors attached. amazing that Tesla doesn't do this. It's too hard to match one batch of paint to another, even with a paint code, mixing never fully matches one batch to another.
Seeing all the scars on your door hinges too makes me cringe. The service center makes adjustments and doesn't even bother to slap on some touch up paint, so not only do they scar the metal, they don't even care enough to take a couple of extra minutes to touch up the paint. I've seen plenty of pictures of cars delivered fresh to the customer with the same paintless scars on the door and hatch hinges, so I guess it's Tesla SOP to not give a *sugar* about f-ing up customer's door hinges.
I'm really beginning to question if I really need the Tesla software, superior range and supercharging network for my EV purchase....
The arrogance of the company really turns me off.

lol. The white paint to me looks fine. If you are gonna pass up super charging which is also way cheaper than other commercial charging options from competitors, if you are gonna pass up the superior range that tesla’s have because of their better technology, if you are gonna pass up the continuous software innovations tesla delivers for free over some slightly mismatched paint go for it bra.
I don’t think cars are sprayed with their doors attached.

I suspect that Telsa started painting with the doors off because of people complaining about the inside of the door jamb not being painted...
As far as the sticker remnants on the doors, those stickers are probably to track the doors so they get put on to the correct car. (i.e. the one they came off of.)
No, sorry, the white cars with mismatched doors do not look fine, and if they do to you then your expectation level and mine are clearly different.
Here's a video showing a car being painted. You can skip to 1:18 if you just want to see the robots spraying a car with all 4 door attached:
