What Owners Say
""Trunk leaked water. Had to take in twice, wherein the service dept. applied copious amounts of silicone and seemingly stopped leak from entering cabin""
Anonymous, CA (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)"Air leaking drive side, causing noise. Not yet resolved."
Anonymous, GA (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)"Water leaking in the trunk causing standing water inside the trunk between the plastic seal. Water leaking from the rear quarter window. Trunk water leak mostly resolved but there is still some water some times, better than before. Window water leak was taken to service center 3 times, 2 of which claimed no issue was found. Third time found the issue after we directly showed it to the service center. Replaced the rear quarter glass. Despite replacement, water still leaks but much less than before."
Anonymous, GA (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)"The car has a rattle from the rear area noticed during lower speeds. Two shop visits failed to correct this but I suspect it is the plastic trim attachment points. The windshield fluid reservoir had a crack and was replaced under warranty."
Anonymous A., CO (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)""Whenever I'm on a longer trip (over an hour), there is a loud this that will randomly occur under the car and feel like you ran over an animal. I researched it on forums, and it appears to be common. It's something to do with the battery pack. There apparently is no fix to that. Another issue that I deal with because I don't have time to take it to a service center is the driver side window inconsistently believes that there is an obstruction and will not fully close. You have to try three times and then hold the window button to over ride it and close the window. When it rains, my trunk gets wet. I'm not sure where the water is coming from since it's near the door, but not right up against it.""
Anonymous, CT (2023 Tesla Model Y Performance Electric)""At about 25000 miles I went to refill the window washer reservoir and it leaked all over my garage floor. I tried it again thinking maybe I had made a mistake with the same result. It turned out the that the window washer reservoir had cracked which caused a leak, The reservoir was replaced at no cost and the problem was eliminated.""
Anonymous A., NC (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)"Rattles at speeds above 40. Tapping the passenger dash helps for a while but it returns.. Car has had this rattle since delivery. Never called to complain but need to"
Anonymous, NJ (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)"Seatbelt tab strikes lower B-pillar trim if no passengera predictable problem. Seatbelt height adjuster rattle. Rearview mirror trim rattle. Air vents rattle. Tesla service has been so awful addressing rattles on the 2015 Model 3 we owned we didnt even bother with them."
Anonymous, WA (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)""Driver seat was rattling, took in and they said the base was broken. Like, the seat had come loose!""
Anonymous, OH (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)"rear hatch door rattles a lot on rougher roads. Don't have to be dirt, just a rough pavement."
Anonymous, CA (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)""At about 25000 miles a noise that sounded like a marble or ball bearing rolling back and forth every time I accelerated, decelerated, turned left or right. I took the car in under warranty and it ended up being a clip that holds the carpet in place and had become loose. It was replaced at no cost to me and the problem went away.""
Anonymous A., NC (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)"I have had the rear passenger side door that was not aligned to start with. Tesla fixed it once but it still rattles"
Anonymous, PA (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)"Uncertain source of rattle. Wouldnt trust Tesla service to figure it out."
Anonymous, WA (2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range Electric)""The rattles from ther rear of my vehicle are only noticed during low speed bumps, 0-40 MPH range. It seems coming from the rear hatch area and possible the plastic trim attach points. I will attempt another shop visit to correct this problem, hopefully with a new rear hatch trim piece.""
