Model Y centre console sliding lid misaligned

[RajG]

Hello!
took delivery of model y RWD few weeks ago. noticed that the central cubby sliding lid is misaligned. seen a similar defect on an other model Y and this makes me wonder if this is a common thingy.

Tesla is fixing this free of charge through a mobile service appointment

Surprised they’re fixing it and not claiming within spec.

 

[RajG]

Tesla have been kind enough to accept my nitpickings, lol .
may be I got lucky .

I have the same issue with my model y 2023, maybe it is a common issue. Have Tesla what they will do to fix it as I cannot see any adjustment in the lid?

Yes it’s a common issue .
the price for the job is 165£ (although it’s covered under warranty and the actual cost payable is 0). May be they would replace the lid , will check tomorrow when the engineer comes over

Service engineer came over and said nothing can be done .

He showed me pics of 4 brand new vehicles with tis issue. So it’s fine, not the end of the world for me . I need to concentrate on vibrations coming from the boot . Will raise a request for it to be checked .

I had a feeling they would say that!

Are you sure it's the boot area and not the rear seats?

I find that if I stuff a tea towel type cloth between the seat backs and the seat base on the rear seats that my car is pretty much silent. The arm rest seat is the worse for rattling about, I have noticed you can jiggle the bottom parts of the seats about but with the cloth stuffed in there it stops them from moving.

My boot was making a shaking type noise but after winding out the 2 side bump stops and front edge stops that it is silent now.

as per the service engineer the common area of the rattle is the plastic bushes in the tail gate. like so-

he did deminstrate it by gently hitting the boot lid. the sounds were reminisent of something like these-

engineer came over today. he took apart the boot and added tape over all the plastic bushes. he padded number plate too. went for a drive, seems lot quiter now. one more thing we noticed is the rear seat head rests. push them in, they wiggle quite a bit.

If you fold down the rear seats are the black seat backs level when they are led down flat?

no they are not level. the 60 seat split (joint seats) are slighly highter than the 40 split (single seat) when fully flat.

Thank you for checkin, this appears to be the same as mine then. Are the seat backs level when the seats are back in the most upright position? My 40 split seat is slightly more forward at the top and not in alignment!
