Quality of new MY's - is it better now?

Not much concerned about that. it will be unlikely that the paint is going to be completely off. No matter what you do, when the parts are separated, they will not be at exact angle and alignment and the reflection color tone would be different. If they use same code paint it is gonna be ok. I was concerned if they paint the area. In that case, on the same surface could have two different paint tones (fresh vs old) and that could be bad.
With the photos in similar threads, most of them were acceptable for me with that explanation. I could see couple of photos being completely off but I don't know the history of the car (what if its an aftermarket paint, etc) and I don't believe its a product that will be released.

I have seen a couple on FB people said were built this month (July) that still aren’t good. Tesla must be having an issue with a specific shift or line since they’re not all like this. If they had a QC procedure in place these few would not make it out of the factory. But again people keep accepting them.
It can be a selling point. It may cost less if they address small issues in Service Center rather than slowing the sales and production line in factory. There is a margin threshold on how much they bounce back and forth which can be set on supply/demand. So I don't think it is a sleepy worker on a nightshift or things like that being always talked about. It's about how fast they can make the product ready in a sellable condition to meet such a high demand.
Actually with all of us wearing masks and cleaning hands - I think flue virus will be very upset
I do not expectCan you please post the picture from the hatch (when it is closed) please? I am curious about the alignment of the rails. Mine was like this: (VIN133xx)

Those are pretty crappy alignment for a >60k car. Looks like a third grader worked on it. You should have rejected it outright. Shame on their QC!!! Do they even have one?

You guys who have paint issues should demand that they NOT patch paint, with 2 stage clear coat, you have to panel paint.
Just took delivery of a red MY, white interior, induction 20” wheels, and I spend a good 40 minutes examining it carefully, based on this and other threads of disappointing fit and finish. Mine was built 6/2020 (ordered 6/30. Delivered 7/19) and maybe I’m just lucky but there was one essentially minor flaw. The paint, panel gaps, white seat and dash, charge port cover alignment, trim was perfect. There was a bit too much gap between the two segments of each of the taillights, which will can be aligned on a mobile service appointment, I was told.
Feel so badly for those with poor QC and fit/finish issues. Definitely was on the lookout and was happy today. Maybe the later builds are improving....definitely needs attention at HQ..

I can’t figure out why a company worth so much, can’t get rid of these issue. It is inexcusable for such an expensive car. Everyone needs to start rejecting them if there is an issue and send home the point to Elon. This is crazy.
Most of the issues I saw are with white color. It may be a separate production line, that has many faults. Blue, Red - mostly fine (from the outside look). Maybe this is a way Tesla push you to pay more for other colors? Seems crazy, but who knows.
RichAZ/CapeCod: do you see problems with non white MY's as well?

I've only examined one MY up close, a white on white model. Looked OK to me. Some minor issues and the seat backs were not right, but otherwise I'd accept a Tesla like that one in a heartbeat. All I can go in regard my concerns on are the consistent QC reports I'm seeing in this forum (and YouTube videos).

The only "serious" issue with my friend's MY. It will be made right I'm sure. Just kind of silly for the factory not being able to get this annoying problem fixed quickly.

Cut them some slack, they are basically a brand new automaker compared to the rest of the industry. Just buy it & drive it.
Took delivery of my stealth Y this weekend. A few minor issues but nbd overall:
Weirdly, I did notice the touchscreen is much less sensitive than my old M3.
- (easy to fix) Goo and white left over from a sloppy sticker peel job
- (appt. scheduled) 2-3 small (a few mm) paint scrapes around the car
- (appt scheduled) 1 paint cut in black trim on drivers side

Yeah, they've only made a million cars... it's not like they've been pumping them out or anything...
