Tesla's Model Y, a car that the company's CEO, Elon Musk, believed that could outsell the popular Model 3 of the company, is in the early ramp-up phase of production. However, negative reports from different media outlets were received by the car model after discovering that there are issues, with some which cannot be fixed.
The report of Electrek, which concerns the Model Y's quality, has been simmering since the first deliveries were made in March, which sparked other headlines from other media outlets reporting about the car's issues.
"We reported last week on an email Elon Musk sent to employees about Model Y production in which he highlighted the need to reduce rectifications on Model Y vehicles - meaning that the Model Y needs too much work after coming off the production line," reported Electrek.
Here are some other headlines showing negative news about Tesla's Model Y quality.

"As for quality issues. Our car's b-pillar trim doesn't fit right and neither does this lower bumper trim, the rear door alignment is slightly off, the rear seats are similarly uneven, and there's a loud rattle coming from the rear somewhere," said Kelly Blue Book in his Youtube video, reviewing the car model.
According to Electrek, many buyers have reported that the big car company told them that the end of June would schedule the delivery of Model Y, however, it will be delayed because of defects found in the vehicles. There are also some cases where Tesla would still deliver the vehicles even with the defects.
One of the car's biggest issues is that the backseat wasn't attached to its base; which is one of the problems widely reported by new buyers. Several issues such as indentations in the seats, paint and trim problems, and loose belts were also reported. To help with the car's issues, a Youtube influencer, Ben Sullins, also posted a video revealing the quality problems that should be avoided.
