VIN 33xxx: about the paint mismatch

[juli1]

Hey all,

I took delivery of my Model Y about 3 weeks ago. I started to read all the threads related to the paint issues for my color (pearl white!) and started to be scared. I browsed more and more every day so I decided to take my car for a wash (which also test the water resistance!) and take pictures with the sun exposure.

The only paint difference I can see if with the rear bumper. There is a slight difference of white. But that also depends on the sun exposure/orientation: when being faced, the issue is barely noticeable. From the side, it is slightly more noticeable. I do not think it makes sense to ask Tesla to fix it.

The only issue I have so far is a panel misalignment on the rear right light, I hope Tesla fixes it! But for the overall delivery, I think the build is very solid and did not find any error.

Overall very happy with my purchase.

This is nice to see! So many people rejecting or returning.

My vin is also 33XXX, I am picking up this week!

I don’t doubt that there are some color mismatch issues, but I think one of the reasons that it seems to happen on white cars is the pearl finish. On my car, I can see a slight difference just like you can, but only at certain angles and lighting. Car looks great though!

Thanks! Same: I do not think it does not happen - pictures from others speak for themselves, especially on mismatch on doors.

Let's hope that Tesla is listening to their customers and things will start to improve!

The car looks great - no real visual issues for me. Good luck!
