Yesterday was the day that I was finally going to take delivery of a Model Y (LR/AWD/Induction/Blue/Black). I live in Seattle, WA and we (my wife and two kids) drove down to the Renton Service Center for delivery.
I was armed with delivery checklist and was mentally prepared to walk away from the car if it seemed like it had too many issues. Well, I won't bury the lede: it had way too many issues. The highlights:
-
Almost a dozen small paint issues/scratches all over the car (front and back).
-
A few large scratches on the rear bumper area.
-
Several panel gaps that were either too wide or too narrow (flush with another panel or trim).
-
Condensation in one of the fog lights.
-
Door trim that was oddly faded and not matching the blackness of the rest of the trim.
-
Rear tail lights totally mis-mounted and sticking out / mis-aligned.
It’s pretty clear that little to no quality control or inspection went into this vehicle (vin # 011xxx) before it was presented to me for delivery.
The delivery specialist I spoke to was pretty clear: if I accepted delivery, it would be my car and I’d have to hope for the best in terms of getting these issues fixed. He also reminded me that if I returned the car under their 7-day return policy, I would be prohibited by buying another Model Y for 1 year.
He suggested that I give them a chance to correct the issues. He seemed confident that his delivery team could correct the paint/cosmetic issues, but he said he’d have to check with Service on the issues regarding panel gaps, tail light mounting, etc.
So, we drove home without the Tesla Model Y. I apologized to my wife and promised my kids a treat on the way home. I’m expecting to hear from Tesla about a re-scheduled delivery, so fingers crossed that they can correct these issues!
On question and one bit of strong advice:
Advice: whether you take delivery OR NOT, please take tons of pictures and video. I didn’t do that, and I really wish I had so that I could share them with you all now and get your thoughts on whether these were issues or not.
Question: Does anyone know of any good, clear photos of what “spec” panel gaps and alignment should be? I would have killed to have been able to reference this during my delivery.
Thanks!
UPDATE #1:
Here is the delivery checklist I used:
UPDATE #2:
For all the comments about the Tesla Return Policy:
Relevant section:
“If you decide to order another vehicle, you may not order the same trim for a period of 12 months but may order another vehicle in a different trim at any time.”
UPDATE #3:
Just wanted to let you all know that I emailed the Tesla advisor that initially had emailed me about my Model Y back in April. I’m not really sure if this person is “assigned” to me, and other people had called me about preparing for yesterday’s delivery. I don’t know if Tesla has “delivery specialists” anymore or what their process is, but this was the only person I could think to email.
Anyway, I asked for a new VIN. After sleeping on it and looking at pictures/videos of other Model Y’s, I just didn’t feel good about this car. Even if they could correct all these issues I could see, what about the issues I can’t see?
I had to cancel the auto insurance I had preemptively purchased (whoops) and I’m wondering if Tesla is going to start billing me for loan payments on a car that I haven’t received yet. They already have my loan deposit and signed loaned paperwork.
UPDATE #8 - I accepted delivery of my Model Y today! and check-out the photos I took (the good and the bad).
