Hi everyone,
I just took delivery of a Model Y yesterday - it's my first Tesla and I am very pleased by it.
I'm not a car expert, but I've diligently tracked all the potential build issues I spotted - see below.
I wanted to ask car experts on here which of these (if any) are serious issues, so I can be aware of them. It seems like Tesla is still racing to get the cars out the door - I saw tape from the factory in multiple places on both the exterior and interior, which was very surprising for me.
----
Paint Streak
There is a bright red streak on the paint on the drivers side - between the door and taillight. It looks like a racing stripe, and appears to have been caused by an issue in the first coat of paint.
Plastic Wrap Indicator
There is plastic wrap stuck in the driver’s side rear door. Is this indicative of incomplete work in the undercarriage?
Partially Painted Section
There is a small unpainted / partially painted section on the top of the passenger side hatchback, with corrosion beginning to take place.
Loose Trim
Drivers side window trim is loose
Frunk Issue
Front trunk has a gap / misalignment
Taillight Alignment
Driver’s side taillight alignment issue
Headliner Gap & Factory Tape Present
There is a gap between the headliner and roof window - on both sides but particularly noticeable on passenger side. It looks like the adhesive glue here isn’t sticking. In addition there is still a black tape label on the passenger side from the factory - could you please investigate if this was intended to note an issue?
Scuffs / Dirt In Several Interior Locations
Scuff marks on the passenger side interior wall, and passenger side coat hook
Weld Issue
Conspicuous weld in brake pedal
Backseat Not Flush
Middle seat doesn’t appear to be flush on right side
I got my car before the factory shut down and I’m grateful. I don’t think I would have taken delivery. The weld in the brake pedal seems to be normal as I have that too. They have a fix for the back seat but that “racing stripe” is going to a tough fix. My dad paints cars and they are not going to do it right, which includes blasting the paint off, resanding and repainting. The fix will likely result in swirls in the paint.Hi everyone,

Who cares what sandy Munro thinks. He’s not a sage. Plus he’s probably on the Tesla payroll in some way as he was far too saccharine toward a car which is clearly garbage.well the good news is Sandy Munro says this is the first Tesla he recommends, so that says something as far as engineering goes. As far as build quality, that's the concern since it seems like they're just trying to crank out as many Ys as they can to please Elon and the shareholders.

I took delivery of a Model S long range in February, everything I thought was perfect, but a few weeks later I received a service schedule to take the car back to the service centre, when questioning why I was told “ There is serious paint damage under the front bumper, which will need replacing”. On further inspection it was maybe 2 inches long as though it had been caught unloading the vehicle, it polished out without needing to replace the bumper, although your issues are much much worse and I would definitely reject the car as it is not up to a merchantable standard, I can’t understand how it passed the pre delivery check, here in the U.K. it would not have passed, good luckHi everyone,
