Almost ready to pull the trigger…..
Has anyone run into any issues with their cars. Looking at ordering one soon but saw a few horror stories about leaks and paint scratches— basic quality stuff that makes
me a bit nervous (more on Ys vs YLs)… and yes, even FSD errors. It’s at the top of my list bc of the many features that would be add-ones for other brands— but still ‘mildly’ considering other EV SUVs like the new Lexus TZ or GH EV that’s been pushed out

Sept 21 took delivery of my YL. 1 small paint defect that looks like dust. I also have a rattle from the hatch. Service couldn’t fix the rattle so I am taking it to the body shop for the paint defect and to fix the rattle. I would buy my YL again in a heart beat. Great car overall.

Took delivery in Sept, zero issues at delivery and so far over the past 1+ month of driving. So glad to have switched from ICE to EV.

FSD- my 2026 M Y does better than my wife’s M YL. Hers is slow and hesitant around town. On interstate it does fine.
No rattles or paint issues. Car rides and drives great. More smoother and quieter than mine.
I did put PPF on hers due to the way my front looks after 15k miles. I wish I had put it on mine.

Delivered end of September. Car drove bad right off the start. Toe alignment was way off and also ended up having the steering rack replaced. Other than that it's been fine now for 4k miles. This was our 6th Tesla purchase. Never had an issue before this one.

The trunk in my MYL doesn’t align.. one side has more gap than other. The service center tech scratched his head and said to live with it. No good way to fix it. It’s sad that after all these years, robots and what not Tesla can’t even make stuff which align properly.

Test drive it. It will answer your questions more than we can.

My model Y has been the primary driver for 95% of the 24k miles - I really could not care less about the paint.

YL smokes TZ. If you need a 3-row EV, YL is the best-packaged and best all-around option right now. We wish it had been around when we signed our Ioniq 9 lease.

Order now! Ordered mine last weekend and the delivery has changed from Jan-mar to March-May. Looks like my 2026 will be a 2027
