Model Y A Pillar not flush

[bakored]

I took delivery of a mode Y LR last week , at the time of delivery I didn’t notice it but when in my garage I saw the A Pillar wasn’t completely flushed (driver side) the other one seems okay.

I reported this to SC and have my appointment with them in a couple of weeks
Has anyone got this issue and can share how it was addressed ?

Anyone had similar issues ?

Yes I had the excat the same problem, took to SC , they fix it but mess up the door ( became under flash to the fender ), went back the 2nd time, they end up putting thing back to where it was , if not worse, the Pillar came out about 0.1 inch more. Hope you will have a better luck, Me and my wife decide to live with it

After 2 visits, I figure there is no way to fix it, because what ever they move ( adjust ) it will affect other panenls and fenders, this issue came down to this part of the metal is off by few millimeter when made. My co worker's model Y look better on the A pillar than us but his Fruck and the driver door has bigger gap than mine, I took delviery at end of Sepmeter 2021

Also, after the 2nd visit, the somehow move the driver door a little so it start to make a metal hitting nosie when i close my door, But I was lucky, that when one of my side camera mal fucntion, the APP automatic send a notice allowing me to send a reqest for mobile tech to come out in 3 days, when that Teach came out which was here 2 days ago, I show him the metal hitting noise, he said it is easy, he just adjust the striker plate inside , then the metal nosie is gone.. So good luck on your visit, I am think to go back the 3rd time for this A piller alingment thing, but my wife doesnt want our brand new car to get "adjusted" again, PLEAE LET ME KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO YOURS, if your SC fix it, then I will go back to try again Cheer

They told me it will make things worse. Like you said if they adjust one panel it will move the others out of alignment. So I told them not to do anything with it.

I guess at the end of the day it’s your luck. With Tesla you will absolutely get one or two issues and more if you have more attention to detail.

Will this reduce structural integrity of your vehicle in an accident?

I asked the service rep this question and they said no. I also found the same issue in my uncles model 3 .
From my measurements it looks to be less than 0.2 inch jetting out which probably also is within their margin of error

It seems like this is a common problem.

Why csnt they adjust the top end of the front fender? I guess again this will mess up alignment with the front hood and gaps to the door.

So what’s the final solution here? Live with it?
That’s ridiculous. Maybe a way to shave down the metal of the A pillar and repaint?

I have same issues. Does anybody was able to find solution for it?
