Hold off on buying a Model Y – Several Quality Control Issues

Posted on by

Tesla released their compact SUV, Model Y a bit early. Customers are now getting their deliveries, but are met with several quality control issues. We recommend holding off a few months until Tesla can work through all these quality control issues.

To be fair, this happens when you move your chair up on the Model 3. This person claims it came this way

Here is a March 25th Delivery

I got mine on 3/25 and going to send it to Fremont service center tomorrow. Here are the issues that I found so far. Hope you guys don’t have to go through these like me.1. Trunk won’t lock after auto close. About 75% failure rate.2. Can’t log in my account on YouTube due to browser not secure.3. Not able to charge with L2 charger. Happened twice already. The issue went away right after I plug in a supercharger.4. Lots of stain on the over head interior. 5. Touch screen went crazy one time. Fixed by resetting the system.
