After five months and 10,000, I've really had no issues whatsoever!This is good advice and I agree a 20min test drive doesn’t tell much. BTW - has the build quality become better? Any other issues I should be aware or, does it leave you stranded? I need a reliable car above all and don’t want to deal with taking the car to service frequently. Hope things have improved and this early quirks have been ironed out.
When I picked up my Model Y, there was some plastic left in the ceiling liner, which they quickly removed.
Panel gaps were all very close in size, paint was really excellent... really, I TRIED to find something wrong, and couldn't.
My son picked up his Model 3 last Saturday, and his car does have a few, minor isssues. The gap from the bottom of the rear glass hatch looks like it's too long, so the trunk needs to be adjusted. When you look at the bottom of the rear glass, you can see the drain holes and rubber, while on other Model 3's, you can't.
He found one other, minor issue with the paint. Honestly, if he had the car for over a week, you'd never notice it, but being it's a brand new, rather expensive car, he let Tesla know about it and they have scheduled to come to our house and fix it (a tiny speck underneath the clear coat, towards the rear of the car.
My son has put on 600 miles in 7 days, so I THINK he's loving his car!
Honestly, I probably lucked out with my Y, really having ZERO issues, but I also think with all of the negative feedback, people probably nit pick when taking delivery.
I've only had my Model Y for five months, so I can't tell you if it'll continue to be problem free. I can tell you that my wife and I fight over who gets to drive the Y! We both really love the car (otherwise, I'd figure there's no way my son would have gotten a Model 3 five months after we got our Model Y)
Both are Performance versions, if that matters.
Good luck!
