Episode 228: Taking Delivery of My 2023 Tesla Model Y...and Why They Had to Take It Back! 

Thank you for your delivery walk through. When a door doesn’t close from the factory, most of the time, it is a lifetime issue unfortunately no matter which car brand it is (from experience). That was a good tip you got for closing the frunk. It’s great you’re at the 2k+ for subscribers. Hope for many more for you. I recently started my cooking channel. Hoping to get there somewhere. I’m also being asked to do posts on my car. I think I’ll add few of those too in the near future. Thanks again. Take good care.

It's frustrating, because I priced a 2023 Y with tax and license came to $60, 335, and it shouldn't have issues new where I'd need to take it in for service.

Video title should be…things you never do with a Toyota…nervously check build quality at pick up, lol

Oh cool “scratch” lol “ come on” …. Come on, No dude”…. lol I have watched that specific clip so many times and laughed like crazy, the best delivery video hahaha .😅😅😅😅😅😅

Lol😂 @ i tried to lick it out as the Tesla guy was touching it

Brav, funny yeah😂😂. Good attitude too, oh cool scratch. Great stuff. The Mrs. was awesome too. Good stuff, cheers.

The door doesn't have a very good "thunk" sound when you close it.

That kind of door scratch on a car that expensive? Hell no I wouldn't accept delivery on it. I've seen better quality control on a Hyundai!

Lol Great vid & congratulations 🥳 I have a model 3 and will purchase the Y very soon. can't wait. Enjoy !!!

The Tesla's build in Berlin Germany are much better, better finish.

My 2023 Model Y AWD Long Range from Fremont and perfect noda a defect and they had the car in dog mode so we could check the car out before our delivery time!!! Awesome that delivery was in Vancouver, BC

Need to do an update on how it’s going, picking mine up Friday.

MichElON tires!!

Smell that...get over here...get in here...a small person was in this car....poop that back in...smell that

I like the model y but I can’t fathom why they would release a NEW car here without inspection!? This is the most import for full customer satisfaction. Every dealership does that at minimum. Panel gaps and doors that don’t close without force is unacceptable. That is why I’m still cross shopping this with an Audi q5.

So funny to see you going with this new baby. But therés a lot to come, meaning more videos on you tube. Enjoy guys!

You should reject the delivery and wait for hw4.0

What sup with that 7 days 100 miles problem free guarantee mean? Does it mean they will issue you a new car if you find anything wrong with it?

It appears like the door was not adjusted correctly and you need the force to maybe lift the door a little, or move it a little as it locked so that it went into position.

Funniest one ever!

Mishalon tires ™️

Calm down.

Great video! Welcome to the Tesla Fam!

With all due respect to you and your new Y, you really don't know quality and luxury until you own a BMW. I am currently looking at a Y as well, and I am disappointed. Unfortunately, because I do want to give Tesla a chance. BMW totally covers all the details with luxury in mind.

Gjeebs

Jeremy congrats lol, you are most funniest person but very authentic so far on RU-vid, I have seen, I am planning to sell My MDX and get the Y but so much happening in Tesla in Aug 2023 I would wait till January to see if they drop new battery and FSD improvement and I really wanna ensure, I get the new camera and HW4, I will wait and most likely will get a new one in January.

hey there Jeremy, were they able to fix the scratch on the door during the same visit? and for the door as well? thanks! great channel!

Just got our black Mod Y from Gigafactory Shanghai and absolutely no faults or scratches. Been over it with a fine tooth comb and really really well put together.😊

When i got my car last week it came with the seats wrapped in plastic

Wait for the refreshed 2024 Model Y. It will be worth the wait.

Wow you're easy to please! Seems like you've never had a real high quality car... Lexus, AMG, BMW, etc

Before I even watch this video, don't tell me something wrong with the door alignment?

Very captivating video. I'm debating which color Y I want. I'm leaning toward red, but a black one with dark black tints is intriguing. I drove a silver midnight metallic Y from Hertz a couple of weeks ago. I actually really loved that color. But, red just stands out. Don't see as many of them riding around.

Did you get hardware 4.0 with this new build? They say some newer model ys come with it.

Great video, it really helps a lot as I am getting ready to order mine.

Slam those doors in my house, and we got a problem😂

yea maybe i shut the door wrong 💀

The description of this video called this an “unboxing of the 2023 Tesla Model Y” and I’m a little disappointed that there wasn’t a box in this video 😕

Funny video. I have a late 2021 MYP, and I love it. I had the following done, moved the rear tires to the front, sold the front tires and got 295's in the back. Squared off the car.

Hey man, what do you think about the door carpets?? 😂

Open the frunk and get yourself some plastic overload. Ouch.

This is most likely your most engaged video with the most view count ! 🎉

My 2022 model Y also does not have sensors.

Has this guy ever bought a new car before?

Rear right door have more gap than the left on model y. That the first thing I notice when my fremont MYP delivery.

I have a 2022 MYP and the specs on the 2023 is the same. Except mine had some panel gaps, rim curb rash which all was fixed for free over time. Congrats on your MYP!

brentwood lol

New car smell = formaldehyde

Nice orange peal paint job at 8:06 and 8:39

Dude, you have me cracking up!

❤❤

all good bro. thanks for the video

The curb rash shows up eventually.

Why would anyone buy the 2023 version of the Tesla model y or model 3?? They all look thesame to previous years models. What changed??

The sources say model Y now delivers with HW4 Do you checked which hardware you have?

Can we cooperate on Tesla accessories?

"We have a frunk now" love it 😁😁

Nice car 👍

Congratulations!!!

It's so amazing to me that despite the build quality, people still buy these in droves. It's a fashion accessory, as Apple has managed to do with brand. The Mercedes in the same class destroys this. Not intended to be hate, just a similar cult following to Steve Jobs. Reality distortion field concept. #Phonegate "You're holding it wrong" - Absolutely unacceptable for a mid 50-60k vehicle to have assembly issues to worry about. I think it's like the Jeep Wrangler phase, people are drawn to it to own one, then never buy another. Elon is a charismatic man, easy to get caught up in his sizzle, but the steak is undercooked. (The irony here, is that people that buy these, there are SO MANY on the road, its not unique anymore) - I personally think people are obsessed with the speed EVs offer and Telsa plays the game great. I personally would not want a vehicle to have to dock to charge and have to wait. Without more infrastructure to support for long distance trips. Its also worth mentioning that EVs cost more than their ICE counterparts in Consumer Reports. Something to think about. In the meantime Im excited for Toyotas hydrogen combustible engine. I think that is the real future.

Did you find the j1772 adapter in the car eventuality?

How long did it take to come from purchase day?

Can you send us the checklist?

This is why I trust Model Y from China more than from the US

So...do other Tesla cars need instructions to close the trunk? There needs to be a check list to help new owners verify everything works before the 10 expiration date. What is the warrenty period for these cars?

Nerd alert. You sound like you've never sat it or driven the model y before you took delivery. I pick up my mine on Friday and I hope I don't experience the same issues.

The tital say´s "why they hat to take it Back" and in the end its a little scratch. So basically its a shit clicbait

You don't even know what to look for. Do some research before

Curb rash isn't something you see on delivery, it comes with ownership after driving for a while. You sound like you don't even know what panel gaps are. You are running your fingers along those panels like you are waiting for the car to say something to you. There are panel gaps and misaligned panels, know the difference! people on here are critical like me! Seriously though, that is a nice machine and you are going to be very happy no matter what anyone says. Really!

Great Video, some people who comment about the price and IMO minor issues upon delivery should consider how young Tesla is in the automotive market. Just think when Ford started and people still used the horse and buggy. I am sure if you lived then you'd see these Model T's broken down and pass them on your horse and say I told you so, but it's a matter of time before everyone had a Model T. I personally think a lot of these issues could be addressed before shipment but in America we have a lazy attitude and kick the can down the road to service for another day. Some point to quality of Mercedes, BMW and yes that's true but if you truly want to compare European quality to these built in America you'll never compete because those built overseas are from people who strive to deliver a quality made product before its delivered. Her in the good ole USA quality is not the main priority it's quantity for the masses at the cheapest, quickest way. I am impressed with Tesla and only see this product getting better and less expensive in time. Research the Super Manifold (8 way valve) and the technology to heat/cool the car and its generators/battery system. I believe this a technology similar to how they use in SpaceX for space travel. None of the big 3 are even close to this. Just my opinion and again thanks for the video, have fun.

Front bumper ob Tesla's look like they were driven into a wall or have had lip fillers. I bet German cars don't have so many delivery issues.
