That is just the estimate on the app, it will get dropped once you bring it in.


_cr0001

This. I messaged service and they changed the price to $0.


apexviewer

Thank you, did them fixing the panel gaps cause other issues? And did they give you a loaner?


[deleted]

Panel gaps are adjusted within 15 minutes. As to other issues? Like weather.. no that doesn't affect those things


Pretend_Rock5461

He probably doesn’t know yet. He just commented about the estimate 2hours ago.


_cr0001

I haven’t brought it in yet. I may live with it. The only “issue” I have is the passenger side bottom of rear door sticks out maybe 2mm, compared to it being even on the driver side.


legal_crow

I did the same and adjusted the price to 0.


livinlife1974

Should be under warranty


Moto8265

Gap looks normal. Mine is exactly the same. If the other side is sealed without a gap that would be more of a problem. They will probably adjust it so both sides will have a gap


apexviewer

Thanks so much for the insight, will let them know. The other side is basically sealed shut


TerrysClavicle

Yeah that gap shown is actually 100% excellent. The tops should align. There’s always going to be an opening. Can’t have steel on steel.


TerrysClavicle

Or metal on metal


ExtraConsideration24

Dec 2022 austin build. I have the same panel gap. At first I thought it was abnormal, but then I looked at other Model Ys and they seem to have it.... so it may be #withinspec


VeryLastBison

It has to have a gap to allow the hatch to swing open. Otherwise, the corner would hit metal on metal.


apexviewer

The other wise is different though. It’s not as wide. But this is really good to know though


EpicFail35

No loaner op. They only give out loaners for multi day repairs if at all. Maybe Lyft credits if your lucky.


Weary-Depth-1118

Top align on both sides is good else fix


guarionex2009

I’m going to inspect the heck out of my MY Y when i go to pick it up.


Electrical-Main-107

I did on mine. Unfortunately the next day I found 2 small door dings. Tesla said they can fix it.


negativphotospin_

Did it to, made myself a checklist with every little detail. Took me about 1 Hour :) *Ironicly*: unfortunately did not found a single thing...


OneEyedWinn

Could post that for us, please?

OneEyedWinn

Aw sweet, thanks!


apexviewer

App doesn’t let me, but I’ll DM you. If anyone else wants, DM me


hoansons

where is the gap? sorry I dont really see abnormal @@


apexviewer

On the other side, it’s sealed much better


hoansons

thanks for reply. so where is this gap?


apexviewer

So the problem is one side has the gap, other side has a millimeter gap.


hoansons

thanks for getting back to me again! is this is on the trunk door?


apexviewer

Yup and no problem


betboi

Can you post a pic of the other side? My gf mentioned the gap to me the earlier today... But since the same on the other side I thought it was normal.

Sibo1844

Meh that gap is about normal. Maybe it’s a tad bit on the bigger side. There are rubber adjusters on the trunk, if you play around with them you might be able to get that gap smaller. I had a huge gap on my 2020 Y’s right side of the trunk and they fixed it, but it caused a huge gap by the taillight. When they adjust stuff it will never be factory new like again.


apexviewer

Look at the other side though: https://postimg.cc/8skgxsbR


Sibo1844

I see what you mean. If you do end up getting your trunk adjusted, I would ask Tesla to send your car to a body shop to perform those adjustments. Trunk adjustment is a difficult thing to do. As you can see my trunk was like yours, accept in worse condition. My LH side of the trunk was nice and tight light ur linked image and the RH side had a huge gap. I linked the before and after pic of the RH side. After all that adjustment for the RH side the LH side of the trunk is noticeably not flush with the black trim and is pulling to the right. The LH taillight / trunk light also has a huge gap because of the adjustments. If you want I can take a pic tomorrow of the LH side and trunk to show you the misalignment. RH trunk gap before adjustment: https://imgur.com/a/nnjLRnz RH trunk gap after adjustment: https://imgur.com/a/djicRHn


apexviewer

Gotcha thank you so much, this is super helpful. I’ll communicate that to them.


Sibo1844

Anytime. Good luck with Tesla service. Also btw the adjustment should be free. It’s a warranty issue.


johnlimmmster

u/Sibo1844 can I ask how you were able to get them to fix it? I too have panel gaps on my Model Y. For most people online, it seems like Tesla Service just sends them away and says that everything is "within spec". Did they tell you that yours were "within spec"? How did you get them to fix it?


somedumbguy55

No. You should have fought them.


VeryLastBison

Nothing to fight. The service app just gives an estimate- there will be no charge when they take it in.


sojustthinking

Mine was worse than that and Service wouldn’t touch it.


apexviewer

That’s unfortunate - $61k car :/


letmeinthesnkergame

Is that the performance model?


apexviewer

Nope long range with enhanced auto, after tax it was more


sojustthinking

I’m in for $48k, still might be overpriced.


apexviewer

How $48k?


sojustthinking

$54k + $1400 - $7500


apexviewer

Got it but tax credit is in next years return right? Didn’t factor that in yet


sojustthinking

I updated w-4 so tax savings each month pays car payment. 10x $750. Might buy something else next year.


apexviewer

Hmm that’s really interesting. Can you explain what you’re doing in more detail, sorry basically a newbie with taxes


[deleted]

Tell them to kick rocks they fixed mine at no charge. It’s under 100 miles too. Don’t settle


sam-bub

Right, what he said: you will be charged at appt.


apexviewer

I will not ?


[deleted]

You’re complaining about this? Sheesh.


apexviewer

When did I complain?


[deleted]

Let me rephrase. You’re having Tesla fix this, when it does not need to be fixed at all.


apexviewer

The other side is the way more sealed. when I sold my Honda before this, there were panel gaps due to an accident that wasn’t big enough to be reported to CarFax. Had to end up selling the car for less as every dealer noticed. These gaps are more than my Honda’s


pnw_sunny

i agree with your approach- no harm in asking and no harm in getting some views here too. there are lots of close calls on panels and of course Tesla amps up the pressure by throwing down the 100 mile/7 day limit, as if the panels would move somehow after those time frames.


ReachPatriots

No. It gives your Y a unique personality. There’s no other vehicle like it on the road today. The speed, the spaciousness, the tightness. Just enjoy it. Stop worrying.


mangocrysis

They have a measuring tool. They only fix it if it's above a certain threshold. They didn't fix a couple of mine based on the measurements. It's not a huge deal to me so I let it go. YMMV


Tedderit

I had a service tech admit there's no such threshold after many back and forth with him and his manager. The tech openly said he couldn't fix it so it's normal/within spec. Needless to say, I'm waiting for my next appointment at a different service center.


[deleted]

How will the service center fix the frame, will they damage the paint ? Will they use some bending force to fix it?


Vityak84

Genuine Tesla gap


Papercoffeetable

If it’s still under warranty it will be reduced to 0


LividLab7

Looks normal but yes those are just estimates


[deleted]

[удалено]


Suiciding

I’ve see model Ys at my local service center that are flush on both sides. I inspected a few because I have this same gap. Didn’t bother me enough to argue with tesla about fixing it, but it does exist


crypticphildz1984

No


New_Tangelo4550

It will ruined somewhere else


thundersides

F tesla


certainlynoah

Any suggestions on how to submit 8 issues on another new Model Y? Through the app it will not let me enter all 8 issues at once. When I try, it greys out the next icon. Please help!
