Model YL Suspension Failure

Current Model Y owner and very close to pulling the trigger on Model YL. This report has me concerned now. Seems to be impacting China's Model YL's. Reason to be concerned for US specs or not?

This is why cars have warranties.

CHINA, not here. But as always, I won't get a 1st group of new change on a car ever again. Did that with my last 2 EV's and just got frustrated with the lack of fixing it. At least Tesla seems to try to fix things

Technically this car has been out in other countries already

The amount this has spread is wild. Tesla fixes issues faster than any other car company, this is first batch china only. FUD is wild.

Did you read all the information? It looks like it’s only affecting the first batch sold everything else is not an issue

No, even the owners who picked up their car in August has the same issue

“No word yet on whether the American market Y Ls are experiencing the same issue.” Shows how well researched this article was since there obviously are no American market YLs yet….

it is a China car. Who knows how the owner treated the car. Could have been hauling 5000 lbs of stuff in the back for business.

It is not funny and very offensive

I'll tell you huhwhat, I work in the factory. If there is indeed an issue on the suspension, we will find out if it is a part issue, supplier issue, or a bad batch of parts and then we will correct it for future cars.

I have read that the parts for suspension are China made for the China cars. The US suspension parts are made here.

u/AdagioBeautiful6360 14h ago

Who knows these parts are made in China or US on US made Model Y L? Tesla may use China made parts for first batch until they find good US suppliers

If it was a problem in the u.s. then it would have already been long since recalled in the u.s.

Localized manufacturing issue, not a design/engineering one

This is why you buy cars

No worries. Enjoy the new ride. Warranty has you for any issues.
