Any and every respectful person raised right: Raises hand.

I see a different color white on your front, rear, 1/4, hatch and bumper.

I still have a cybertruck order. Ensuring Tesla as an organization improves is still in my interest.

Nope I was one week away from taking my model Y delivery before cancelling. I had a vested interest in seeing the quality improve to my own benefit but I have since determined it's beyond reconciling their quality problems and no longer plan on reordering

I was assuming the problem had more to do with the flake lay down but based on the blue vehicles above, including @gundarx photos, that explanation seems to be very plausible. Totally unacceptable on Tesla's part. The accumulation of concerns with the Model Y has me entirely abandoning my...

Robots from what I've seen, and there are instances of Blue ones that show the same poor flake lay down patterns on the driver's door specifically suggesting their process for painting is consistent (and consistently bad) edit: These are two different cars. Notice the front door...

I can believe it.

I believe the usual sized weights are .25 oz so 3.5 would be taking 14...that does seem quite excessive.

It's a problem on every white one I've seen and it has to do primarily with the angle with the pearl paint. I would not at all be surprised, given Tesla's absolute ineptitude with regards to paint, to learn they painted panels and door separately, oriented in different directions so the flake...

Totally worth the mismatched colored panels, dust in the paint, missing paint, gaps galore, latches that won't close, windows that scratch trim, Bluetooth that doesn't work, seats that fall apart, hooks that don't retract, dents on body panels, and range that doesn't even come close to expectations!

That's terrible. This is entirely too much to even consider reordering the Y at this point for me. I'm not going to keep waiting around for them to get their act together. Hopefully the cybertruck won't also be a dud.

I haven't seen a white one yet that looked like all the panels matched. I'm skeptical at this point that doors were painted at the same time as the body.

Nor homelink, nor autodimming mirrors, nor blind spot warnings in the mirrors, nor ventilated seats, nor a heads up display, nor fit and finish. But hey, you can make fart noises!

I'm sleeping a whole lot better about my Model Y cancellation these days. Sorry about your issues.

If anyone in KC wants to kick off their accessories for cheaper than new, I have all new stuff that I didn't get to use after I cancelled my order. Tesla Nema 14-50 Gen 2 Mobile Adapter: $30 Abstract Ocean Matte screen protector: $30 Abstract Ocean Center Console Wrap Brushed Black Metallic...

Gen 2 NEMA Adapters

That may be, but it's still a poor design. Model Y Rock Chip Damage

This is a poor design holdover that Tesla didn't learn from with regards to the Model 3. They have the lower sill too recessed with respect to the wheel's offset. They should be including mud flaps if they are going to have the trim this recessed.

Gonna need a 40k reduction for the flaws this vehicle has to even remotely make it appealing.

It's crazy that there wouldn't be a default height set for the rear hatch to somewhere below the normal threshold for an open 7' high garage door.

The XC40 Recharge also looks like a good contender. I really like their Google OS integration.

I was able to get a decent trade in offer from carmax (less than 5% lower than pre-covid) and Tesla did match since it was prior to June 1. It was still 1600 lower than my highest trade in offer from a third party dealer but the sales tax credit makes it better by over 1k still. I'm not...

So, trade in values tank per Tesla (their trade in value drops nearly 20% for me, while CarMax, carvana and kbb instant trade and local Subaru dealer are all around the same as pre shut down), Tesla won't price match CarMax trade any longer so I'm effectively losing now 30% including sales tax...

Carvana, KBB Instant, Carmax quotes all 4k higher now than my Tesla trade in offer and now Telsa isn't honoring Carmax any longer so if I sell outright to them I lose about 2500 in sales tax credit. And with that financial F you from Tesla to me, I'm returning the favor. Hopefully they get...

How does the over engineering benefit when your Bluetooth fails to connect and unlock your car for you, or the door glass damages the trim when to close the door, or your hands are cold on the steering wheel without a warmer? It's great and all that the welds are consistent and that Tesla...

I've had 9, with my current being an 18 Forester XT touring that I paid 33k for. The CVT is a disappointment but it has steering responsive headlamps, heated steering wheel, blind spot monitors, quite good safety system with eyesight, a quite fantastic sound system with Harmon Kardon and many...

In my experience rust from under the paint won't present like this. This is fast surface rust from something on top of the paint. Embedded iron or steel dust does adhere and stick to the paint. Removers like clay bars or chemical decon products like ironx are usually pretty effective at...

I won't argue there but when I hear comparably equipped I think of the features and amenities of the vehicle, not the drivetrain. Otherwise you could claim a model 3 is better equipped than most vehicles under 60k due to drivetrain alone but that's simply not a fair comparison.

Seeing as it appears to be under the rubber seal it's probably metal dust from manufacturing that got trapped under the seal and is rusting on the surface of the paint

Subaru Forester touring models have all these features (aside from FSD) and more (heated steering wheel and blind spot monitors) for 35k.

Closing the circle here. My Grandmother passed away Wednesday. We ended up having to pull her from the nursing home Saturday morning after my Mom checked on her and found her laying on the floor by the door. She'd fallen out of the bed sometime through the night and attempted to crawl to the...

This looks more like color shift based on the angle. You can see a more yellow appearance of the panels as they turn...which is typical of pearls... I am wondering if the pearl additive over the base wasn't too much more yellow which makes that transition from color straight on to an angle too...

I didn't ask but I cannot imagine that would be the case. I would assume it was reallocated to you based on others declining theirs.

My VIN just showed in source code. Spoke to my buddy who works at Tesla to get the scoop. Car doesn't exist yet it's still in pre-production but the vehicle is allocated. Suggested mid to late June delivery.

No text for me but I got my VIN in the source code too. KC area. 65xx

Oh my god that looks awful (No offense guys, so sorry!) Amazingly these look like the exact sort of pattern on the front door with thin and thick spots so it would appear it's a problem with how they are laying down the paint and it's probably a problem on every Y, with certain colors showing...

I had watched about 22 minutes of it...just kept watching and made it to 29 minutes where they suggest this same concept and I wholeheartedly agree. Existing vehicle values wouldn't tank, IMO, if there was an understanding that for say....5-10k you could get the upgraded pack. It would not...

What I think would go VERY far with current and future owners is a promise that upgraded battery packs will be made available to all current vehicles with new battery technology where we get a prorated credit for recycling the existing pack and getting a return on the investment of upgrading to...

I think that's a very relative way to look at it. Relative to how often you buy new cars. Not everyone keeps their cars for the long haul and so the resale factor and outside factors like this that may impact it do need to be weighed on the timing for purchase. For the EV market, depending...

My major hesitation is if the battery is significantly better it's not just a matter of missing out on the next big thing...the current gen vehicles with inferior battery life will tank in value. We will also likely see the update, if ends up being as rumored, end up reducing the cost. If I...

I still like Chik-fil-a, Dicks sporting goods, Nike and Tesla. Cancel culture is petulant BS

In my autocross days I would end up with the same tire material all over my car after an event. I would definitely say you're experiencing abnormal tire wear there with that. A significant amount in my opinion.

I don't know what you're on about, but your sarcasm meter is completely broken and you're making absolutely asinine assumptions. I hadn't stepped foot in my Grandmother's nursing home before today. We've been talking on the phone since this all occurred. I was sarcastically pointing out that...

Just went and saw my grandmother. Today is likely her last day of consciousnesses and I couldn't even get her to wake up, only move her mouth a bit so I could say my goodbyes. I've never heard of a bad influenza outbreak killing off 10% of a facility's residents within a month despite having...

Meaning from the interior...heard on the 3 the manual pull handle from the interior doesn't drop the window

Spent several years detailing as a side gig. It's a fairly big learning process to get professional level results as my first several cars I was still learning on. You'll get a TON of recommendations on different products. Process is more important IMO. The best advice is use the absolute...

My Grandmother (89 years old) was released back to her nursing home Monday having seemingly recovered from COVID, but overnight Tuesday took a bad turn and is now in Hospice. There was a lot of deception from the Nursing home but it's now come to light they are number 2 in my state for deaths...

I'm assuming you guys are using the electric button to open door and not the manual pull handle, right?

Thanks for clarifying. I bought the Matte but have polarized sunglasses. That large of a screen I am very concerned about the glare so matte seemed the way to go. Glad to hear that won't have issues with my glasses.

Yeah but then I immediately lose 10% of that value due to the loss of the trade in sales tax credit I'm awarded if trading in but lose if sell outright or to a third party dealer.
