While I do believe there are expected quality issues with some Model Y vehicles, I have noticed a sharp increase of negative nonsense since short interest increased.
Just a coincidence I'm sure. /s

Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

The first many thousand cars are sold to enthusiasts. I bought an early M3 and the small number of problems didn't bother me much. It was part of being "involved." I believe we'll see the same response from early MY owners.

Just looking around and I see that Shopify, and Beyond are both in the red as much as Tesla is after all being up yesterday.
edit- same with nikola but it's at -2.75 and was also up yesterday afternoon
No offence Fred, but I think I'll take Sandy Munro's opinion over yours

Never mind, buyers are less interested now that the price is down.
There are some posts over on Reddit Tesla page that people have refused delivery of their Model Y. I say good for them. Instead of running to a forum or YouTube to complain, just refuse delivery. Elon gets the reports and if there is a trend of returns for a certain reason (paint), it will get fixed.

Or looking at it from a different angle, 63% think that $2k will be reached in the next 12 months, most likely 9-12m from now .. !

I did get a reply back from their customer care line and they said they will forward it on to her. So I encourage others to send something as well but keep it civil of course.

The customer satisfaction rating is not weighted to enthusiasts or the first deliveries, it includes all deliveries.
There is a saying in the car industry about not buying the first year of a new car.
Sure was a lot of excitement here yesterday regarding the ultra bullish super reversal engulfing luminescent candle of exploding ecstasy.
Can we please have another? I will take a simple cup shoulder handle rocket blast of terminal velocity.
Thanks!

She is doing what CNBC expects her to do.
Just look at all those idiots talk about Tesla on the Tele.
Bought a March 2013 Model S and a Sig X.
I thought both were fantastic.
Model Y promised to be under construction yesterday.
Optimistic I will be equally pleased.
I highly recommend seasons 1-3 of "The Tunnel" a British/French version of the Danish series "The Bridge." I guarantee you will not be disappointed, however you may curse at me because you won't be able to stop watching. Available on Amazon Prime and PBS.

I decided to buy another Model S instead of the Model Y Performance I was this close to buying, because after doing my own research far and wide on Model Y quality issues, I just decided, last thing I want is to have to send my newly-delivered Y 400 miles away (at $1000+ towing fee) to the nearest service center, just to address factory quality issues. I just don't have time for that even if it's a small chance of happening. So I went with the S instead. I'm hoping the S is pretty much good to go.
I know there's a lot of kneejerk rejection of everything Fred publishes, but I can't help but think there's some superfan denial going on here ("my car was fine when delivered, therefore all cars are fine everywhere, therefore anyone saying their car isn't fine at delivery is lying or TSLAQ or both" etc).
Tesla doesn't commercially advertise. Its competitors in the automobile and oil industries do so quite heavily. Advertising is the lifeblood of the media. Negative Tesla comments draw clicks/eyeballs without hurting the publisher's revenues. An underlying intent may be to force Tesla to advertise. Meanwhile, it inspires gratitude from those who do advertise.

Semi OT, but regarding Y build quality. It should be far better than the 3 because it's mostly the same car. Sure the lines are new etc. but still. The issues I'd expect on a new car with the same basic platform are cosmetic/body issues or maybe issues with the line itself.
Requires a refractory period.
A Y was returned to my local SC for that reason. It was a minor issue but had to be towed back. Tesla didn't want to pay the tow bill for some reason and he was an out of state buyer. Disappointing but my local SC is usually excellent.
Of the last six new cars I purchased four were first years, and only one (the VW) had problems. I guess most everyone buys one VW.
I wouldn't put it that way. Some cars do have problems, but the number of cars with problems is highly overstated.
