As an investor with a ‘22 Fremont M3P, I appreciate your efforts to “improve the breed.” Keep squeaking!! My problems: 1) “Burning Insulation Smell at Over 106mph” (self-verified at track to over 128mph). 2) Possible defective 12V Aux Battery needing jumpstart when battery hit 0 miles (should be unrelated to soc, per Canadian video). 3) Water intrusion on driver’s side door, due to deformed weather stripping (from test done per Singapore “delivery acceptance” video). 4) Many asymmetrical panel gaps, including intermittent trunk closing. Still think Tesla’s are the best EV values out there, due to far & away better tech, plus a mostly care free & easiest supercharging network (note: at the end of a 3,500+ mile trip to TeslaCon & Starbase, Navigator sent me with 3 miles left to a SC at a bank underground lot that was closed on Sunday, when there was a fully open one the same distance away. Cost $150 to tow, then another $150 after finding it wouldn’t take a charge without a jumpstart, due to a Canadian reported, but not yet Tesla acknowledged, problem).

Console Tray - Tesla just saved you $30 to offset the $5,000 price increase so be appreciative. It’s just a minor thing. Wiper blade - That’s Tesla’s AI, by having it stands up like that, it reminds you to turn the wiper off when you stop. It’s just a minor thing. Steering Wheel Noise - The car is a reflection of the company found, aka God Musk, it likes to squawk, that’s all. It’s just a minor squawk. Gunk - Tesla is giving you extra bonding material in case you need to glue back the window liner in the future. That’s worth $30 you know. It’s just a minor gift to the customer. Upholstery - It’s not cheap. It’s worth $30. USB Warning Light - It’s a minor warning, if that even. Plastic/Rubber Stopper - 70 degrees is freaking hot, just be thankful it didn’t melt at 75 degrees. And no, it didn’t “fall off”, it “jumped off” the intense heat, again, part of Tesla’s 23rd century technology. Seat Folding Button - Actually, that’s the way to get Tesla technician to come out to introduce themselves to their customers. Personal touch for a high tech company is rarity so this is great. High Pitching WHINING Noise - Another example of the car reflecting its founder, Mother of all God Musk, it likes to whine. Tesla is just a young company so cut it some slacks will ya? Mismatched Paint due to Plastic Bumper vs Alloy Body - That’s why the car costs only $60K, want matching color, buy the Y. Last not least, you keep harping on the $60,000 thing. That’s not a lot of money nowadays. Have you noticed how much gas cost now …. never mind.

What makes this annoying is that these problems are for basic things, things that auto makers have been designing for the past 100 years. I have a friend who just bought a model X plaid, cash, with all the bells and whistles. When we inspected the car at delivery, we noticed panels were misaligned, sticker residue in the lower part of the car, and condensation inside the rear stop lights. We told the person at Tesla of this and he tried gaslighting us by saying that they had just finished washing the car and that this is common with Teslas, that it was going to dry off in a few days. My friend was livid as the guy was trying to gaslight us. It’s a $130,000 car that shouldn’t be having these problems.

Hi Andy. We took delivery of our Model 3 long range about six weeks ago. There were minor fit and finish issues similar to what you reported in this video. I brought it up to the Tesla staff and they said they could try to fix it but they might make it worse so we decided not to get them addressed. But the bigger issue was that the automatic trunk, when it closed, was hitting the rear bumper. In fact there is still a mark on the bumper where the metal was hitting the bumper. They took it into the service area and about 30 minutes later had it adjusted. But still, it left an uneasy feeling. After six weeks though, we do very much love the car. Just hope that problems don’t develop down the road.

Hi Andy. Congratulations on your new Model Y. I finally got mine on May 15th after ordering it on Oct 3rd. I too had problems my very first day. I plugged it into my Tesla charger at home that night for the first time and during the night, the car went into combat mode and shut itself down. The next morning the card keys didn't work, the phone didn't work, the doors were locked, it was basically a piece of metal with 4 locked wheels. I called my local Tesla dealer and they sent a tow truck to take my car to their shop. The tow truck driver had to remove half the frunk to get to a Lithium battery (SURPRISE!) and then reset the power switch. On day one my car went away on a flatbed to the doctor. Doc checked it out and said nothing was wrong with it. I thought to myself, shit, I got a lemon. I've had no issues charging since then. I am going to have a whole house surge protector installed though. There's another issue with Autopilot configurating but I won't bore you with those details. Thanks for your video, I feel I'm not alone now.

Stay on Tesla to fix your issues. Test and look at everything! DO NOT WAIT because after 600 + miles on the car, they won't fix a thing without charging you! What I noticed when I took my car to the service center several times is that they will repair the issue but when they return your car they'll say there was no issue! Take pictures, make a video before you take it to the service center. That's your proof. Don't let them make you look like the idiot. They just don't want the high number of issues to get back to headquarters! Good luck!

I had the whining noise from the rear motor on my 2021 Model Y delivered last Aug. It was most noticeable at 48/49 mph, and even louder when cold. We took it in, and I gave them a recording I made which was analyzed. supposedly it was escalated to engineering, and They said it was "within specs" but would replace the rear drive unit as a one-time courtesy. Luckily, they had one in stock and didn't have to order it. It didn't go away completely at first, but it was much better. Now I usually have the music on and don't notice if it's there. It's my wife's car, and she doesn't notice it, so I'm done dealing with the issue. But very annoying on a $60K car.

I took delivery of a LR MY a month ago and had a lot of issues. Biggest issue was a dent in the passenger door. Car interior was not clean at all, there were multiple black marks on my white seats and a huge black mark on the driver sun visor. Passenger door was also hard to close. And a few misalignments of headlights and gaps. I took it for service and they had it for a week. Got it back and it didnt look like they cleaned the inside at all, in fact there were additional black marks on the driver seat that weren't there before. And for the dent they said they couldnt do paintless dent removal cuz it was at the edge so it would have to be sent to the body shop for a new door and that would be a month later. so now im waiting for my appointment at the body shop in a couple weeks. really frustrating cuz I've been a big fan of Teslas, been waiting years to get one, and having all these issues is unacceptable. I also wanted to PPF my car but since the door needs to be swapped I've had to delay that. This also isnt to mention all the issues I had in the app with my car not showing up in there and when it did it was missing multiple sections like service and roadside assistance for over a week after i took delivery.

I just picked up my model y from service on Wednesday, it’s been twice so far that I’ve had to take the vehicle to service for the same loud whining high-pitch noise coming from the rear engine these people at Tesla say that the noise is normal , they also re-sealed the penthouse seal although it did help somewhat I didn’t fox the issue . I’ve had to drive with the windows down or the radio out loud in order not hear it , I am fed up with the service provided by Tesla in my state by not offering a replacement of the rear unit I drove 2 other vehicles model y and one had the noise worse than mine and then I drove another one quiet as it can be with no high pitch noise at all . Idk what else to do if you take it a 3rd time smh 🤦🏻♂️

I had a Model Y and had similar small issues. What bothers me is that for all the issues you displayed, someone at Tesla's factory or delivery center either 1) didn't do any quality checks because of incompetence or 2) knowingly sent out the car with issues. Either is very disturbing and inexcusable. I saw a video of a Rivian delivery and it was the opposite. They ensured the car was thoroughly inspected for delivery. Tesla will soon run out of fans who gloss over this stuff and they better get their customer service act together soon or they will be overtaken by competitors.

Hey Andy, I think the rear fascia coating is actually a colored vinyl placed into the mold for the urethane material to bond with, I could be wrong for this vehicle, the mismatch was very common on vehicles that use this method due to variations in temp and lot numbers of the coating during molding. Again, I'm not sure how Tesla does this, but I've experienced this during my time at Chrysler. Glad to hear only minor issues. I'm very interested to hear about the steering wheel and motor noise correction. Good Luck.

Anybody who'd pay 66 large for one of those things, likely has judgement problems to start with. There are a ton of low 40k electric cars coming to market right now, most of which have excellent fit and finish and more importantly, still have the 7500 tax credit. Most have an advanced lane hold cruise control too that doesn't lock up the brakes suddenly from time to time to test the strength of your heart, like Tesla does. Good luck Tesla fanboys though, those things are definitely worth an extra 35k. Most of the other EV manufacturers paint the car the same color from front to back at no extra charge by the way.

I had three issues with my 2021 Model 3 SR+: 1) Circular spots in the paint, about 3” in diameter, one per panel. Only visible if the light was at just the right angle. Guy at the SC said it was left by some machine that puts panels in place. Buffed out at SC (5 miles away) in 30 minutes. 2) Interior B panel, driver’s side, sections would come disconnected when I got in. Two mobile visits, first to try to fix the original parts (didn’t work), 2nd visit to replace those parts. Total time of both visits at home ~90 minutes. 3) Top right quadrant of horn pad would not honk on occasion. Being R handed, it was a bit of a safety issue (the rest of the horn pad worked fine). Wait for SC appt was 1.5 weeks. They kept car for four days (also had them do tire rotation), and they gave me a loaner M3 P. Outside of those, my Fremont car has been amazing. And I’ve been extremely satisfied with Tesla service. Wishing you all the best on your MY!

The motor whine, paint and USB drive notification are all problems and will cause inconvenience in getting them fixed. Some of the others seem a bit pedantic to me, but you are quite right about wanting an expensive car to be perfect. Few things are in this life. If Tesla needs your car at a service location, I would ask them to BRING me a loaner and bring my car back when it was fixed. I have always been very satisfied with their willingness to do that at their Schamburg location. My Model 3 was plagued with driver's window problems, and Schamburg eventually got it working perfectly. My Model Y has thus far been very satisfactory. I hope your's will be too once they get everything fixed. BTW, I got rid of some annoying notifications about the door pillar cameras by resetting the computer with the two steering wheel buttons.

Nope, I wouldn't have taken delivery of that vehicle seeing it like that and knowing that there are issues. When you as a customer are spending 60k on a vehicle like that yes there can be issues, but off the bat having all of those issues. That's unacceptable they are cutting to many coners and it is showing, that is a half finished vehicle and the motor sound like it is going to break down along with the moving of the steering wheel. I would have told them to fix all that stuff and take delievery at a different date. The problem with this company is they are worried about quantity not quality. I understand and have seen this with other car manufacturers, but when they would get a complaint from their consumers they would go in and fix it. You could have went to mercedes, bmw, audi and heck even lexus and a few others that offer electric and you would have been gaureenteed a finished vehicle. Not to mention the service center experiences and being treated like a human compared to this company. From all the videos I have seen on this car brand it has indicated to me to stay far away from them. I would go with a different car brand and im trying to give them the benifit of the doubt because they are still new, but other makers are new and aren't having this many issues. Overall I think you did a great job and I'm glad that you are enjoying the vehicle, it is sad that you are just making excuses for them and not trying to fight them to solve these issues. The more people accept this the more they are going to get away with it and it shouldn't be allowed. if they started to lose customers and money i think they would be paying more attention. You did great just don't accept shit cars when you know they aren't finished, especially if you have a baby on board who knows what else isn't right with the vehicle. You would hate to be driving down the freeway and all the sudden the brakes or something stop working. These are the things that you need to take into account and many manufacturers are noted for quality and their ability to deliver and I'm not seeing that with Tesla.

Before we picked up our 2022 Model Y Performance, I told my wife that I think Tesla build quality had improved. Only to be proved wrong. 3/29/22 our car had damage to the right front door that needed body work and to be repainted, the mirror on the right door will not adjust up high enough for me and I am only 5' 6" with the seat on the lowest adjustment, the hatch back had a very large gap on the left side, the left rear door was out of adjustment almost tucking the plastic wheel trim, there was also marks on the paint of that door that extended on to the rear quarter panel, the inside of the window of that door also had a deep scratch on the inside, the right rear wheel trim was in more than a 1/4 inch in from the trim on the bottom, the rear left seat would not drop down with the switch, the wheel alinement was so bad that if you put the steering wheel straight the car would change lanes. After the first service mor than a month after resaving the car, they only corrected half of the issues. There is now another service appointment 5/26 to fix some of the things they did not fix the first service. The paint on the rear left door was only a halfhearted attempt at the repair, so I corrected it myself. Whatever compound they used to attempt to correct the paint, was still on the door (and the scratches) and my 3d floormate and driver's door inside panel, so I didn't want them to try again to repair it. One more thing they do not paint the front door jams anymore, when you open the door you see galvanized steel, at least I hope its galvanized. The wheal will right front was missing a clip and was hanging down. After three service appointments the left rear seat will still not drop down with the button in the back.

It’s pretty common with different manufacturers between the plastic bumpers and the metal body there’s a slight discoloration because of the different materials don’t know what they can do about it but it is a common problem. Buy all of your trays and accessories on eBay Amazon or Alibaba. The windshield wiper sits on a splined shaft and they may be able to drop it down a couple teeth so the wiper doesn’t stick up as far. Try 3M weatherstrip adhesive for your little rubber snubber on the back hatch Reformat the USB.

I recently purchased a Model 3 after watching KZitem videos (including yours) for most of the pandemic. It's riddled with problems. In the first 6 weeks I owned the car, it was in the shop for more than 4 of them. They had to replace the windshield, top glass and rear glass (it was not installed correctly at the factory). The paint is worse than a $99 Earl Scheib special - lots of unfinished areas including all door hinges, and where the A pillars meet the body, which is visible just looking at the car without any doors open. I had an issue where the door wouldn't auto lock upon leaving the car, and the screen would remain on. The only way to get the door to lock was to open and close the door again, so every time I parked I had to get out of the car, close the door, open the door, and then close it again to get the car to shut down and for the door to lock. There was also an annoying rattle on the driver side A pillar. Additionally, the speakers at the top of the A pillars crackle horribly from time-to-time. The auto lock function seemed to get fixed after a software update - the service center didn't fix it. They refused to fix the rattle claiming the sound "was not abnormal." They refused to fix the paint stating "it meets Tesla's standards," which, apparently, are beneath that of the cheapest Maaco or Earl Scheib paint jobs. I fixed the rattle on my own, which was a huge pain, but it was about as annoying as that whine likely is for you. The paint is still terrible and the crackle in the speakers is still jarring and annoying. I need to take the car in to get those fixed, but I hate to think of how long they will have my car, so I keep putting it off. Honestly, I don't get the hype. These issues should not exist on a new car. Tesla needs to stop worrying about FSD and figure out the basics of how to build a quality car. I view mine a bit like a Yugo with some cool tech. I'm very disappointed and I look forward to a major car manufacturer finally building an EV that is better than a Tesla. I hope you get your problems figured out soon, and I hope you have better luck than I have getting Tesla to address the problems.

Some of it has to do with demand for these cars. Let me explain, Tesla is selling at such a large quantity that they cannot keep up with the demand. When I bought my model 3 you could negotiate anything price wise because there is a line out the door waiting to buy your model 3 if you didn’t get it for some reason. They were going to put me back in a que just for moving my delivery appointment. At the end of the day there is no excuse for poor quality at any price tag.

My 2021 Model 3 SR+ has the same high pitch noise from the rear motor at the same speeds. It’s super annoying while at holding speed. I noticed it as soon as I took delivery (we own another M3) and drove straight back to Tesla service immediately. They said some noise from the motor was expected which was frustrating, so I took the service guy for a ride in one of the loan M3 which was 100% better and he agreed. Took over 6 months to get it in for service due to COVID and they had it for 5 weeks. They replaced the rear motor and when I picked it up said it’s all resolved. As I drove home it had the exact same pitch noise… My M3 is my work vehicle so can’t be without it so haven’t bother trying to fix it again (Although I really should). The worst thing is due to the frequency of the pitch it’s really hard to drown out with music and you can always hear it. Some people say it’s an earthing cable but didn’t seem to be the issue with mine. I would be really interested to hear how they resolve yours.

Andy, that noise in the back is an Airbus 380 turbo! Definite issues. Unacceptable! I get that random Dah cam error and I have a Samsung T 5 500g in there! Let us know why that error keeps showing if you find out. Great video!!

One of my coworkers worked at Tesla Freemont for a few years. He couldn't stand it and had to leave. Learned that many employees are actually homeless and allowed to CAMP in Tesla parking lot.

Yes, quality control control is going be much better in a factory where workers are going to get paid less. This reminds me of airlines canceling orders of the Boeing 737 max that are made in South Carolina because of inferior quality control and asking for 737‘s only made in Washington.

I plan on getting a 2023 Bolt. Teslas are cool but you're right, paying 60 gs and getting these problems are not cool. I bought a brand new Spark in 2013 for $12,999 and other than a minor recall there was never any fit and finish problems with it. It had 278,000 trouble free miles. Now it's starting to break down. I've put nearly $3000 to keep it on life support. It still runs but it's on its last legs. For $60,000 your car should be perfect. Even though most of your problems are small you should still tell Tesla to fix them. Good luck.

The corvette has fiberglass, plastic, carbon fiber and the panels match perfectly. In my opinion Tesla has made enough cars to get the quality right if they cared about it.

Your complaints are good for Tesla to get their quality inspections to top-notch care before any customers purchases. I heard Lucid cars sold without working software features, i.e., Dream auto pilot.

Tesla has to have a quality control department! All vehicles need to be inspected thoroughly, inside and out before delivery. Seriously? workmanship issues, i didn't expect that at all in made in the USA vehicles. I have a reservation for Model Y but after watching videos on Tesla issues, same ones over and over again, it's a turn off!!

I knew Tesla build quality sucks, but I really needed an EV, so I went with the cheapest one so I don’t feel as bad if I got a bad one. I was right. My M3SR+ needed couple works with SCs and still it’s not perfect, but that’s how it is. Hopefully I don’t need to deal with SC anymore. Good luck with your order.

Sorry for the problems. These problems don’t make me super excited. That said, the one brand new car I have purchased in the past (Pontiac TransAm) had a few things that the dealer straightened out. Problems along the realm of your steering wheel squeak. And then the seals in the differential needed work (that one was serious). All of that said, I’m not sure that 60k or 100k for a car means that these complex devices will have no quality variance between them. It is said that if you get a car that was built on a Friday, for example, increased the odds of having some issues to correct. That is why warranties exist. The biggest problem with Tesla, Rivian, etc is that getting warranty work done is harder than buying a car from legacy motors. My next EV is still likely to be a Tesla. (I drive a Fiat 500e which has been great for my commutes.)

Thanks for the video. It really seems like Tesla is only concerned with manufacturing numbers (perhaps line workers have a quota they have to meet) and quality isn’t their first priority. It’s a shame for a $60k car but Andy seems to be very calm about it 👍🏼 I do remember Elon saying he spent many nights sleeping on the model 3 manufacturing plant and now knows more about manufacturing than any person alive. Don’t doubt he knows a lot, but implement improvements.

Him saying that he knows more about manufacturing sounds idiotic, to put it nicely. It's easy to build cars faster than the competition when you have zero quality control. At least here in Europe we have so many options (and chargers) that it's not hard to find an EV that's also a great car. I guess the charging is different in every country and UK might be lagging behind, but here it's a non issue.

Andy, We appreciate your videos, They are very helpful. We just got a Model Y for my wife, it was a surprise like you did it. We setup two profiles. How can I make my wife's profile the default one. Any time that she enter into the car, she has to switch to her profile. Thanks for your help.
