Personally, thats not acceptable on a £50k+ car, actually not acceptable a brand new car period.

Model Y UK Delivery
- Thread starter tess19

Maybe I'm downright blind, but what's the issue here?
Keep an eye on Tevo Solutions. They said that they were working on a new suspension setup and they have a lot of experience with the Model 3

2 x Model Y LR (2022 Q2 & 2023 Q3)
Just had this back from Tesla UK Sales & Delivery per my plaintive begging for more any date information:
EDD on my account is still holding at "May 13-June 08" but I'm obviously expecting that to slip out further into June over the next few weeks.

Have zoomed the pic in a little … if you can’t see anything no worries.

Yep - It looks pretty poor to me too.

Within tolerance... Mmmm... smells like something else to me. I had a LR Freelander 2 that had a vibration issue that was "within tolerance". It was a joke. Basically the car would vibrate like the rear wheels were out of balance when the car was warm. Transpires it was something to do with the gearbox. The garage were brilliant, but in the end the LR Chief technician came out, decided it was in tolerance and they were not permitted to any more work on the car. I offloaded it.
I don't think that a gap like that can be considered to be within tolerance surely!
Thank you - I think it looks very shabby and right at the drivers door too … to my eye it looks like the trim has cracked or something has sprung to give the impression of an inconsistent crack …

I think probably not. Tesla won't have had any cars on the high seas over the end-of-quarter, because at that time they want to convert "all" cars to Sales.
30 days on a ship to UK. So only manufacture for "local market" in the 30 days before end-of-quarter (31-March-ish). Start manufacture for Foreign again once can no longer make in time to complete the sale in the local market. Dunno if they then make for Japan first, 'coz its closer than UK ...
So UK build started on, say, 01-April. But Shanghai, and factory, has been in lockdown ... and they have to build enough to fill a ship.
So earliest I would expect to see sales in UK is 01-May ... provided that they were able to fill a ship on 01-April.
My recollection is that there weren't many MY sales until towards the end of February ... but that might have been that the MY RHD wasn't ready, as that was the first UK MY shipment ... but if it is the case that UK deliveries are the "last 6 weeks of the quarter" then that would be mid-May to end-July, and the early ones will have been hit by Shanghai lockdown.
The first MY deliveries were 14th February in the UK. The big 'launch' delivery was on the 19th in Southampton.
Seems like quite a few have that date and a lot towards the end of May. Does suggest there could be a ship heading out in the next couple of weeks or so.
I think that's 3 of us here now that ordered on that week and have that same window of delivery. Not reading too much into it it's probably all automated.
Just find it strange the Tesla site itself still says May 2022. I mean it's May in 2 weeks..
Tesla have said the GF in Shanghai is closed indefinitely until China releases the lockdown, so there won’t be deliveries for a long time yet. I’m returning to the UK tomorrow and in need of a car so going to buy a cheap run-around for 2-3+ months. It could be a while before production resumes, then add 4-6 weeks for delivery.
