I can't imagine .... the most valuable car company in the stock market is having the roof flying off from its brand new car...

And TSLA is UP almost 3% today alone on the news of the flying roof.

So Tesla's quality control is embarrassingly bad. Our brand new model Y's roof just fell off : TeslaLounge

If you look at the defect that I refused our Model Y for, it had missing rubber seal around the bottom of the windshield on the drivers side. My VIN was 48,878. Just wondering what your VIN was on this defective vehicle and if it's near the same VIN from the same batch as the one I rejected. If you get a chance, please post your VIN #..thanks.

The OP is not the one with the roof issue.

One roof not properly seated, what a news. No, it should not happen. Yes, it happens.
A lot of things happen with cars.

Lol.

what a joke Quality control. I thought that Home Depot clooge wood and tape would have given the Fremont quality guys some eye opener, but it is $60,000 junk coming off production line now.

^ you can not embarrass someone who takes no pride in their work and does not care about product quality.

Roofs flying off aren't a "Tesla" thing. EVERY 2005 - 2007 Corvette with a fixed roof was recalled after a BUNCH of them flew off while their owners were driving them. GM first tried to "Band Aid" this debacle by having their dealers re-glue them. When that failed recall #2 replaced the roofs... which required that EACH roof (there were ~ 23,000 recalled) had to be repainted by the Chevy dealerships. Many roofs were sent to independent body shops since most dealers didn't have body shops... and paint color and "eggshell" mismatches were common. Recall #3 was to fix the issues recall #2 created, FINALLY securing these 23,000 roofs on properly. OUCH

Corvette Z06 Sheds Its Roof Panel During A Drag Race: Video

My 2006 Corvette Z06 had to go in 3 times to finally get a roof that would stay on. This was a BIG deal since it's top speed was 198 mph... and the low roof put your head right next to the roof... and it was a LOT less aerodynamic / NOISIER than our 2015 Tesla P85D.

honestly the original post seems fishy, guy posted 2 sec video and 2 blurry overexposed pics. like huh? if roof really came off while driving, dude pull over immediately. who in their right mind would keep driving? call a tow truck. also, that class roof would have been run over, other cars would stop, call 911 and etc. also where's the roof now? it doesn't just disappear. OP posted very little detail.

Tesla convertible? Model Y roof flies off while owners drive down California highway was posted at my work. We now have the name of the driver.

 

[DS8819]

UGH.... End of quarter build? This really sucks for the new owner.

Not an owner any more, ditched the Tesla for another ( property built brand) apparently.

Biggest panel gap.. ever

Must have be a modified James Bound version send to the wrong customer who then pressed on the wrong button...

 

[raggedy]

I laughed when I read that Tesla offered to service the car for free, oh, and give them a loaner.

Fix it for FREE? Wow. As if an owner would have been expected to pay for this DEFECT to have it fixed.

 

[mbdionio]

pop the hood ... I mean the roof

 

[MrWattson]

Totally explains why Tesla's stock is going through the roof.

"Hats off" to Tesla and shareholders.

Tesla QC going downhill big time, now we get reports of brand new Model S and X bent door panels and gaps at delivery, never heard before in Tesla history.

Well at least they're spreading the love at Fremont

We've been told that the M3/MY are the bargain basement model Tesla's so that's what you get. Let's see how the MS/MX buyers react when dropping $100K on their car and they get dirty upholstery, panel gaps and paint mismatches/dirt.

Maybe you aren't from the US or are from a less populated part of the US. In high population density areas it's quite common to have no where to pull off to and have signs posted saying not to stop in the road way for any reason on some portions of major roads and interstates (bridges, ramps, tunnels are all common reasons for such postings).
