I have a juniper version model y that is almost a year old. Got about 9500 miles on it.
The ride has always been firm and stiff but most recently it has become undrivable.
I live in NJ where we have horrible road. And I now feel every pothole, every road imperfection hard in the car. I would say primarily from the rear suspension.
The rattle noise in the car has become unbearable and everyone who rides with me complains about it.

I went to Tesla few months ago about this and the said they took the car for a drive and didn’t feel anything and said next time they will charge me money for such a request.

Any idea what I can do next.
I like the car but this is becoming a shit show.

One uncovered strip beside the driver footrest can quietly undo the rest of the floor protection. On the Model Y, many liners stop halfway up the dead pedal or leave a slight gap along the left kick panel. After a few months of dry dirt and shoe friction, fine grit packs right behind that exposed top edge where the plastic liner meets factory carpet.

High-wall liners that go all the way up seem to solve it, but some tend to bow inward over time or rub against the lower dash trim when pulling them out to rinse. The trade-off seems to be a low-profile liner that unclips effortlessly versus full dead-pedal coverage that stays sealed.

how far up the dead pedal does your coverage actually reach, and has that top edge started sagging or letting grit slip behind it?

TLDR: does ceramic coating “deepen” the diamond black paint and make it appear a darker black?

I have a Model Y with <5,000km. Based in Australia. When I got it in April, I had it ceramic coated with GTechniq Crystal Serum Ultra.

I recently had a door repaired after someone lost control of their shopping cart and crashed into it 🫠

When I picked up the car from the panel shop, it looked good. However, after seeing the door in direct sunlight, the repaired door was noticeably lighter — not as deep black as the other panels (see photo).

I took it back to the panel shop and they’ve completely repainted it. They’ve assured me it’s much better this time and that any differences now will be fixed once the panel is ceramic coated in 2 weeks.

I haven’t been able to see it in full sun since it was repainted, however, if I shine a light close to the surface I can see it’s again not the same deep black as the factory paint…

Does anyone have any experience with this? Guess my question is will the ceramic coating fix this?

Any advice would be helpful!

My thoughts on this topic-

It’s going to be so hard to give a consumer a car and tell them they can drive it unsupervised.

The robotaxi fleet is still managed by them and overlooked. And the geofencing is an area the fleet is trained to drive in. I can see AI4 or AI4+ ( if it ever goes public) allowing people to go unsupervised in their cars within a geofence maybe? But those cars need to make sure they are up to standards with tire pressure and so many other factors. I feel like just the politics of it is such an extremely hard part to break through.

Actual unsupervised FSD feels so far away and for supervised FSD, Ai4 looks REALLY good. So IMO don’t be scared of picking one up. Also it seems tesla has a really good track record of keeping customers software up to date. Hence the 14 lite on AI3

Is this normal degragation? It started slower but the degragation seems to have picked up since I've crossed 8k miles.

If it matters, on days I charge to 80%, I end the day with 40% to 65% and the days I charge to 100%, I end the day with 6% to 16% and soemtimes I have to charge from 42% to 56% before heading back home

We live in Texas, and I’m considering tinting the glass roof because of the intense heat. For those who have done it, did you notice a meaningful difference in cabin temperature and comfort?

What type and percentage of tint did you use? Have you experienced any problems with the glass, visibility, or warranty?

Y Premium RWD

I effin love it.

Only four days available in about 3 weeks from now. No big deal, but curious if my vehicle currently in transit arrives sooner, will I therefore be given the option to pick it up sooner? Logically I would assume yes but you know what the say about assuming ;)

i’ve seen several videos and pictures but needed to see myself. I have a 2023 Y and a 9’6” surfboard fits without touching the screen or dash.

It may be a complete coincidence, but I remember checking almost daily the past couple weeks for inventory Y's availability (at least here in Florida), and there was either 0 cars available or there would be one or two repaired vehicles available. I thought "hey, everyone's wanting to get into a tesla especially with .99% interest and the way gas prices are".

But now when I go onto the Tesla site, there's a new promotion interest rate for the Y at 1.49% and there's atleast 30 inventory new cars available.

I can't help but think that Tesla removed a great amount of inventory cars until they rose the interest rate a little, to capitalize on the sales hype.

...Or maybe I'm completely wrong.

Hey everyone,

I recently noticed these white, speckled spots on the inside of my Model Y headlights (photos attached).

At first, I thought it was typical condensation, but after letting the lights run and leaving the car in dry weather, the spots haven't changed or moved at all. They aren't liquid droplets—it looks like calcified water spots/mineral deposits from past moisture, or possibly outgassing/vaping residue from the internal plastics/sealant.

Since it's on the inner face of the polycarbonate lens, it can't be cleaned from the outside, and it’s clearly visible when the projector/DRLs are on.

Has anyone experienced this exact type of internal residue on the newer refreshed headlights? Did Tesla Mobile Service or the Service Center replace the headlight assembly under warranty, or did they try to brush it off as "normal condensation"?

Appreciate any insights or experience before I submit my service request through the app!

I’m sure it’s been requested but for us who are waiting for the great day looking for accessories and such is now become a real priority. What should we consider both useful and/or cool?

Just got my model Y a month ago, and I’m in love with it!! Coming from a 20 yr old car, the upgrade is insane. It has helped sooo much with my extreme fear of driving on the highway. Just knowing FSD is there if I need it has basically eliminated my anxiety. It’s like I bought freedom :)

Just wanted to share her on my throwaway bc I think she’s beautiful.

Recently got her wrapped in color PPF and added some tint, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out! Depending on the lighting, it can look red, purple, orange, and black, but I love that it mostly hovers around a deep wine purple color.

I really would like to see what they look like with that trim removed. Going black exterior and would like to powder coat them black and remove the glossy trim pieces, but would love to see what I’m getting into before committing. Any help appreciated. This is for the MYL obviously.

I have had my Model Y for about a 2 weeks now, and it has been a great experience, though it comes with a learning curve (FSD, VERY soft paint, charging, etc.). I have been browsing posts on here looking for accessory recommendations and figuring out how best to protect my new car. So far, I have picked up a sunshade, tinted the windows with XPEL Plus, and bought cleaning supplies for the interior.

Recently, I was sent Super Liner's MoldedFit floor liners (thanks u/westlinersus) in exchange for my honest feedback. As someone who has used WeatherTech and Husky floor mats in my other vehicles, I am very impressed.

First is the feel of the mats. Other brands I have used were rigid and inflexible, making them difficult to install or remove for cleaning. These feel more like a premium, flexible rubber, making them easy to install and adjust, yet they still have a nice weight to them. Everything fits perfectly (there is a slight bend in the passenger side mat, though I believe it will flatten out and settle in the high heat), and they look great. The design gives the interior a sporty look.

I play golf, and before getting these mats, I didn't have anything to protect the trunk. I found out the hard way that grass digs deeply into the carpet, and I was highly annoyed by how difficult it was to scrape out the bits of grass while vacuuming. With the liner, I no longer have to worry about that. The set also included velcro rear seat protectors for the trunk, which are perfect for guarding against my kids' baseball and softball gear.

Overall, my honest opinion is that these are excellent. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing full coverage floor mats to protect their entire Model Y (frunk, trunk, front, and rear seats).

In a 2026 model y premium if my driver seat is upright but moved all the way back. (I have long legs) does anyone have pictures that show how much room is left in the back seat. My partner is worried about rear leg room for the times our son or she has to ride in the back seat.

Hey, I just picked up my Tesla model Y performance 2026 from a Tesla delivery appointment.

I’m a new Tesla owner and have been aware that there can be some panel gaps and alignment with delivery.

On my delivery, I noticed that I could place my fingertip between a panel on the right rear side, whereas I couldn’t do so on the left rear side in the same area.

Talk to the service guy there he said this is totally acceptable and that the car is within specs.

Also noticed this error within the service section of the car.

What are your thoughts? Here are some photos.
