Yeah--I've been reading the threads and see the debates about MPP vs UP coils, etc. These all seem to be by people who know how to install those things themselves, or live in the Bay Area of CA (near the shop, I guess?). How does a non-technical person get new springs/coils installed? Can I just...

I'm laughing because our two daily cars are my Model Y, which feels like riding in a wooden rollercoaster (especially on NYC streets, they're the worst), and my wife's Range Rover Sport, which feels like riding in a luxury hovercraft no matter what the road looks like. Going from the RRS to the...

PatinCT, have you actually gotten your CT registration yet? I took delivery in NY on 6/3, and my temp tags expired on 7/3, and I still haven't gotten my CT registration in the mail yet. I called the Mt Kisco delivery center and they said they'd "expedite the issue," which is strange because I...

Hi all--just wanted to provide an update on the leak. I reported the issue to my local delivery/service center on Monday 6/29/20, and they asked me to bring it in that day for service. They spent all day Tuesday working on the car, and I picked it up on Wed. 6/31/20, with the issue fixed (at no...

I did not, but the first 3 were 005.

Dolfan, my leak was quite bad (imagine a waterfall!) and was due to significant misalignment of the rear hatch, but it seems as though that type of misalignment is occurring less and less with the vehicles coming off the line now (mine was probably manufactured the day after the shutdown was...

That is EXCELLENT news, JB. I am really glad that your experience with the service department was so helpful and efficient. Sounds like they're committed to making these types of errors right, which is what I'm also hoping for and expecting. Fingers crossed for your hose testing!

Thanks for letting us know. I'm sorry for you, but also glad I'm not the only one who is having to deal with this.

I'm glad to hear that! Mine is with Tesla now as well. Mine was also manufactured in May. Sounds like ours may have been first off the production line post-shutdown...not a good reason for the QC issues, but maybe newer-manufactured cars will have less wrinkles.

Believe it or not, these photos are with the gate completely closed.

The "sticker" says build date is 05/2020. So probably right after the plant re-opened from the shutdown, because I was notified of my VIN on 05/26, and took delivery on 06/03.

You bet I did. The gap was wider on the driver's side. Here are a few photos taken from the driver's side (looking toward the passenger's side). If you're seeing the light blue tape and wondering how on earth a gap that wide could be "in spec," I was too. I'm still shaking my head that the...

Congrats!

JB, how's the car holding up now? Has the issue been fixed to your satisfaction? (Sadly, I've discovered a similar leak and just dropped my MY off at the service center today, so I'm hoping your experience has improved since this post.)

That makes me happy. Awesome!

Congrats on your new MY! Your delivery experience sounds similar to mine, and it sounds like you took the time to inspect it well. One suggestion, though: do run your car through a car wash this week. I'll admit that I'm the "squeaky wheel," so to speak, but I discovered a major leak in the roof...

Take your car through a car wash during this 7-day period. I wish I had--I've owned my MY for 26 days and just discovered two days ago that it has a major leak due to misalignments.

I should note that when I took delivery, I did point out that the gap between the glass roof and the rear hatch seemed pretty wide, but at that point the team said that it was "within spec," although they did adjust the rear doors which were misaligned. Pretty clearly a water leak shouldn't be...

Yeah, I saw that post right before I went outside to do the test. (sigh)

Let me start by saying that I am hoping that my experience as a new MY owner (and newbie to Tesla) is rare; however, I do think it's important to highlight quality control issues on the car. I picked up my MY on June 3, and since then have kept it in the garage when not in use; it also hasn't...

Thank you!!! These tips are really helpful for a newbie like me. Appreciate it!!

It's Darien, CT, so of course there are! Just kidding, he was one of the service area workers who picks up trash, etc. So maybe "attendant" was a reach.

Yes! Those are the old ones. But as you probably already know, "ICE" drivers like to pull their cars into those spots (ugh). I figured maybe the newer chargers were faster, too!

I stopped at the Darien NB service area yesterday, to charge my Model Y for the very first time (I took delivery yesterday afternoon). Pretty sure I made the parking lot attendant's night when I pulled into a stall nose-first...he laughed out loud and then reminded me that the cord isn't long...

Same, Highway18...I went to a V3 supercharger last night after taking delivery yesterday, and was bummed that the car was only pulling 60Kw...but now I see, I was about 80% charged already so that number makes sense...huh. Who knew?!?

Blue exterior, black interior, AWD, FSD, 19" wheels. Ordered in Feb. 2020; they called yesterday to set up the delivery and give me the VIN; I'll be taking delivery in Mt. Kisco on 6/3. So exciting!

Hi Steve, have you looked into the Darien shop further? I'm picking up my Model Y next week and will have to see about getting the PPF wrap.
