We Bought the CHEAPEST 2023 Model Y We Could Find! *Issues Found at Delivery*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Our first Austin built Tesla! Overall I think it is good but it wasn't perfect. Only 3 main issues, all exterior. Rear bumper, front passenger fender, and driver side headlight. Am I being too picky?

A fun video idea for you would be to take your new gap tool to a Toyota dealership to measure gaps for comparison. Are Teslas really as bad as the internet says, or are they similar to other manufacturers? I know I would be interested in finding this out. 🕵♂
I don't think you're being too picky. The comments here claiming you're being too picky about panel gaps just make me shake my head, considering you said all the panel gaps are fine. As for that bumper that was obviously dropped or dinged, that's legit. I think some people might let the paint issue go, but since they already have to fix the bumper, they might as well fix the paint. When you spend that kind of money, you don't owe it to Tesla to give them a pass on quality issues.
need to be careful about having them fix paint issues because they will probably make it worse.
I took delivery of the Model Y, I call it “My Why”, from Austin. I love it. I didn’t buy FSD or EAP as they were too expensive for what they do. I had FSD on my previous M3P and it made me too nervous. I love the AP. I think I would change the bumper on your car and nothing else.
Side rear bolster is definitely new. Both of my other Model Y’s are plastic there. 👍🏻
Check out Mercedes and BMW body gaps. Same issues. Your Y looks great.
I probably wouldn't bother with most of these very minor issues myself, but as you've rightly pointed out, $50,000 for a car is a lot of money.
I am guilty of doing something similar when I go into expensive clothing shops. I am a good amateur seamstress, and I became so fed up with hems, zips, buttons, and seams coming undone that I now routinely check the finishing of a garment - despite the filthy looks from shop assistants. I dont mind paying a high price for an item, but it has to be topnotch quality. Therefore, I can completely understand your point of view.
Thanks for showing me around my new car in 5 years. Tell Suzy to take care of it for me 😂
Lol!
got a Model Y Austin built. Got one in stock, Induction Wheels , midnight silver paint brand new $53,990. all mine looks good need more info on 4680cells please. can you charge full 100% or 80% Thanks! looking forward to the new videos!!
If you treat it like a luxury car, sure, have all those small things corrected, BUT not everybody would. Also the upcoming 25K Tesla probably will not be perfect - it'll be a workhorse, not a pretty shiny toy thing. 🤷♂
Way too picky. However, glad tesla is fixing. Go checkout a Maybach, Bentley and Rolls Royce. Curious if they are higher quality given their hand crafting.
It’s wonderful to have you back to posting your amazing breed of content and style! I do this Model Y, I just would love better quality control. It’s like no one cares what leaves the factory. Tesla makes money off those that don’t complain about small fit and finish defects. I wish that I wouldn’t be so picky, because I would be a happier and more relaxed person.
Your insurance might just total the car. That seems to be the them w/Teslas. Watch out for bumps. Guaranteed totalled!!
Can we get a home solar system 2023 update please??
Yes, I will let David know!
Does the home solar system have Pluto? 😜
My 2023 Model Y Austin build long range with 19" wheels doesn't have any issues other than poor and noisy ride quality - mainly coming from the rear of the car. The one aftermarket item I will be purchasing soon is a roof sun shade
We have a 2023 Y from Freemont and it has the carpet by the rear seats as well. On the back cover it does provide more sound dampening and what we found for use lift the back which frees it from the holes in the back then slide it back.
I have a 2023 Model Y LR that is a Fremont build. The interior amenities (carpet, trim, trunk cover, etc.) is the same. I’m not particularly thrilled with the folding cover as it will not stay folded up when I’m trying to place things in the trunk. Other than that, I absolutely love my Y. I traded in a 2019 X that was the car from hell. I wish I had chosen the Performance . . . not so much for the speed, I just like the way it looks!! Thanks for sharing your Y.
I was surprised as well that he didn't look up how to stow the trunk cover. Lift up the edge at the rear seats and stow the creases down, push the cover forward. There's no lifting just a push.
I love you guys and your videos! However those imperfections would not bother me. To me the car look great. I wonder how a Toyota product would measure up? How is the smoothness and the quiet compared to your other Y'S?
I just took delivery of a Austin build y a couple weeks ago. Mine was pretty good but I missed a paint chip on the back side of the hood AFTER the 24hr deadline! Definitely removed the aero caps asap, it looks so much better. love the car though.
For me the entire video came across as you being a victim of a Tesla purchase, kind of whiney.
How do you know what number it was off the line?
No you're not being too picky. You put out the money for the vehicle and it should be expected to be methodically pristine.
Thanks for the video I take delivery on Friday...The rear bumper and the front bumper paint issue I would add to the ticket....the light and gaps dont bother me as much.
These "defects" are ridiculously minor. I just bought a Honda Ridgeline and there are gap differences. These are still "off the rack" cars. I dont know what these folks expect. As long as the paint isnt rubbing or things are sticking, outside of major issues chill out.
Interior pannel for trunk myp22 has carpet , mylr 23 has speakers all plastic
The updated trim is nice but I have a feeling you’ll be making the same change (to replace the wood) that I did on my 2022 Model 3 Performance 😈
My 2018 Red Model 3 has two ugly fisheyes in the front hood’s paint. I really didn’t want a brand new car with questionable repainting done because I hope to keep my car a long time. Everything is covered in clear paint protection film so it’s not as obvious to me now. I hated waited years for my Model 3 and I didn’t want to wait any longer. They would only give me another car if I waited back in line, paid the new higher prices and gave up lifetime data. Thankfully there are a lot of electric car choices now and DC fast charging is getting better everyday. Tesla makes awesome cars for people that are not perfectionists!
Tesla mobile tech: "Sir, everything you've shown me is WITHIN SPEC". You're fighting a losing battle I'm afraid. I picked up my MYP on 3/21/23 and in my view I could not find any flaws.
Fremont build - Red/White. Good luck with your service request.
Go check panel gaps on a BMW, Mercedes, And Audi. You’ll be surprised that they all have the same issue.
How’s the white paint match on the plastic bumpers and the metal fenders? Paint looks great in your video. I know some white cars in the past have had some color match issues. Maybe Austin paint shop has improved that issue.
Old LED HeadLight with reflectors on this new one ? No "Matrix" projectors !?
Thanks for the review of your model Y from Austin. I love the carpet in the doors and the trim carrying on around the front looks sharp
No average person would scrutinize their vehicle this much. 😂
Please show the emergency release handles in the rear. Thanks.
Can you tell us if Hardware 4 is in this model? Thanks 🙏
Has the suspension been improved?
Every gap has a max/nominal/ min. So you said 3mm then 2 mm the gap could be within spec. Don’t be picky
I like the content - you do you. But my experience is that while they try to fix something, they might break something else so I save the hassle
Mine was missing the hitch when I picked it up last month
I love Tesla’s technology, but your car is an example of how Tesla’s profit margins are so high. You are not being too picky if this was a Yugo!
Is that structural pack or ‘normal’ pack??
Structural 4680!
Planning a wrap ?
I think it’s cool you can check the car and be like “I’m not happy” and get it fixed. If I go buy a 50k minivan I can’t tell them hey fix this stuff. Yay Tesla!
Does it have the lower range 4680s?
Yes, 279 miles
@@TeslaInventory The package shelf also folds so the back part lies flat against the back of the rear seats, opening up the back even more than just folding the big piece back in a z motion.
Maybe Lennard (sp)?
If given a chance for full refund majority would return their model Y and never buy any EVs again. Cheap interiors, average suspension, tyres need frequent replacement.
This gap stuff is just silly at this point. Until Tesla, almost nobody cared about this stuff. These tolerances are normal on EVERY car made. Sure, you can perfect them over time, but it makes zero difference to the way it looks or operates. So yes, you're being WAY too picky. The rear bumper thing is legit, but also something I'd not waste time and materials worrying about.
Methinks it's overly cautious about the cosmetics. It doesn't matter if the hestpump can't pump as long as the panels fit. Oh wait, has the Tesla forgot how to "car"?
Comment down below! :)
Some uberturbine wheel covers would make it 🔥
Yes, you are extremely too picky...
Some things to take in consideration, that a tesla costs 50,000 its not the same because you are paying for a car that doesn't need any service, but you have to see the cost of the vehicle for the time you are planning to have it. If you will have it for 10 years you divide the cost and you will have the real cost of your vehicle, the thing is that you are paying the cost of ownership in advance.
If you are having the car only for one or two years, yes its very expensive.
By the way, have you checked the gaps with the same tool on a brand new BMW or a Mercedes??? You'll be surprised...
the price is the price, what does dividing years into the price? Any brand new vehicle should not come with a chip in the finishes.
Yes, you are too picky. I'll choose to live with the paint issues and live 5 years longer.
It's crap like this that makes me want to unsubscribe. A sponsored video complaining about panel gaps that EVERY manufacturer has. 😕
I guess you didn't hear how I said the panel gaps were fine?
@@TeslaInventory I watched the entire video, then unsubscribed. I wish you luck in the future.
all in spec, LOL
all fixable
David's Mom's new car?
Yes
That will be my replacement for the 3 when that time comes as well. My 3 was just like hers.
Carpet was added to 2023 models
Personally, I would live with these “defects” as sometimes the fix is worse than the problem.
Who buys a car just to check gaps, lame.
Man, you're very fussy!
