A water leak is being discovered in the Model Y in the Korean Tesla community. Nearly half of users say they have found this leak. A lot of moisture is found on the soundproofing sponge under the console box on the passenger side. Is this a known issue?

Model Y water leak

I actually had a trim removal kit and only had to take a few clips off (not the whole piece) to reach inside to check. I'll def be checking immediately after the next rain

Maybe put a few of these strips down there: https://www.amazon.com/Cobalt-Chloride-Test-Papers-strips/dp/B01M30VDLK/
Then you can check a week or two later after some rainfall so you dont have to pop open the trim every time.

Just checked my VIN 252xxx MYP and its completely dry. I've driven in a couple rain storms, used AC and washed it twice in the month I've had it. I'll keep an eye on that area and report if i find any moisture.

it's not AC. the water come from everywhere. some came form AC, some came from outside.
a lot of tesla model Y have this problem. if somebody have Model Y, they must check that.
sad thing is that tesla haven't mention about this yet. BAD...

Stop spreading FUD as it is not the place to do so.
SOURCE?
Define "a lot" and SOURCE?
Okay, will do.
it is your opinion on unfounded matter. I have a MY.

At first, in the Korean Tesla community, they didn't believe it too. But now, many of them found this problem.
And Korea Tesla Service Center, they handle this problem case by case.
Some of them are AC issue, but the others are not.
This is a Korean news.

I don't think it's FUD. The problem just doesn't have enough visibility and I don't know if it's because not enough people have discovered it or not everyone is affected. The next time it rains hard in Seattle, I'll check mine again.

According to Korean community survey,
26.2% (126) : They found water leakage.
24.3% (117) : They couldn't found leakage
25.3% (112) : Haven't checked yet
Isn't this "a lot" ?

It REALLY depends.
126/355 confirmed cases, if the survey was solid. Okay.
I don't consider it a MY disaster. They will get fixed.
Again, I am sure those will get fixed.
Error: 404 - End of the world not found.

You're right, it REALLY does depend, it depends on your perspective. If you were one of the affected owners, you would consider it a disaster and nearly the end of the world.

Terrible. 35 days with my 2021 Model Y Performance and I am back to BMW. The difference between companies is night and day. It is essentially impossible to call and speak with anyone at Tesla, including Finance. With BMW you can call USA headquarters, any dealer, any service dept and they have toll free numbers for Connected Services, Genius appts, Encore appts, Concierge.... Tesla needs to treat customers better and actually have customer service.
The first week I took delivery of my MYP, I got a survey from Tesla asking about my order and delivery experience and about my MY. I told them everything that was wrong with it....they NEVER contacted me and never replied! Gross.

For me (2021 MYP), it has been 3+ weeks since I found the carpet in the 2nd row totally drenched with water the day after a hard rain. Since that time I have hand-washed it twice, poured water all over the roof and doors, and endured a solid week of daily heavy downpours - during which I checked the carpet periodically throughout each day. Not a drop of water intrusion. I don't know what to think, maybe the rear windows were not completely closed?

Same here, my only complaint was that my referral code wasn't applied and neither I nor the person referring me received the free supercharger miles (probably a ~$30 USD value each, no biggie). Not a peep in response. Kind of a disappointment.
