Tesla Model Y/3 - The Problems To Avoid

[@slartybartfarst9737]

Absolute gold dust thanks James only years of grafting on 1,000s of UK cars gets this data, forewarned is forearmed saves a fortune.

[@Supraboyes]

not buying 1 would save loads

[@stefan2796]

Main problem to avoid: all early Tesla models(?). Anyway, a very informative video, thanks for uploading!

[@howardbaldwin1226]

NZL 2024 Model Y from Shanghai. Good quality build. So far 8000km of trouble free driving. What a great car. Keep up the good work with these videos. Cheers from AKL.

[@Jamesandkate]

Thank you

[@benlister74]

“Never had a customer come back and say my ball joints are squeaking again” so glad to hear that!🤣 Great video, very informative for ALL Tesla owners (maybe title needs a tweak?) be a shame if others missed this vid because they thought it was just for Y owners. 👍

[@Jamesandkate]

Tweaked it on your recommendation.

[@crannaford]

Awesome video thank you. It's very helpful indeed. Gotta say that our much maligned Oct 2019 Fremont Model 3LR (dual motor) has done 120,000kms and hasn't skipped a beat. All door seals fine, chrome handles fine, zero leaks squeaks or rattles and even though it's done loads of kms in the Australian Outback dirt roads, it still looks fantastic. Even tyre wear has been incredibly even. I've had one $70 repair (mobile technician) to replace the driver's side window switch assembly, and a couple of parts replaced as recalls and that's it. I''m in South Australia so we don't suffer corrosion and leaks quite like you do in the UK. (like the weather is really nice here haha). It has been, and still is a brilliant car.

[@ArthurRondeau-me1sb]

Thank you for your amazing in-depth analysis! I’m in the US and have admired Teslas without knowing much at all about these issues. I worked for GM for 30+ years before retiring in 2018 and always thought Tesla had somehow avoided many of these problems. I guess it was just a matter of time before they too would share some basic problems of legacy automakers.

[@Danmarcussinclairtay]

Super informative. Amazingly generous with your knowledge! We will be seeing you soon for our model X service at the Pond House!

[@Jaw0lf]

Great information and certainly very useful for those picking up an older Tesla.

[@bearlemley]

Thanks for the heads up, We have 23000 on our Shanghai MYp here in Bangkok. We didn’t have any complaints when we picked it up new and it’s been so simple to own and drive daily. My wife and I are not gentle on the car so I will be looking at these suspension components for advanced wear. I did take the Trunk lid interior and rolled in some dynamat (sound proofing) on that awful piece of tin. When the heavy rain land on the top surface, say off of a roof line, it was incredible noisy. The made the car much more quiet over all that when I installed the presenting door handles and soft closing door latches, I added some additional sound proofing (just a little) to the doors. Now riding in someone else’s model Y is very different. I added about 8kilos to the weight of the car. And of course I installed the power frunk kit. The latching cable has broken after a year, so I ordered another from EVOffer and a spare for next year.

[@Soulboy63]

Excellent Video , Camera work Model Y can be leased for 299 , no brainer . Be my 1st EV

[@decimal1815]

This is great. You could do a whole series of these for the most popular used EVs on the market.. particularly when you mention the approx cost of common faults. Really useful thanks!

[@Jamesandkate]

I'll get a Model S for the next video perhaps.

[@GuyGoesGreen]

@@Jamesandkate more specifically, a 2015 Model S 85 would be ideal!!! Really good watch as always James, much appreciated. Servicing will be a bit easier when you next visit us in sunny Dover - moved to a new house with driveway (and charging). So less exposed than the previous on-road spot!

[@simonreeves2017]

Hi James, thanks for this excellent video, as a 58YO DIY mechanic, this is just the sort of information I value. Much as I love what Tesla has done in pushing the EV revolution, my conclusion was to give serious consideration to an MG5. For now I am still very happy with my 2019 BMW i3.

[@Coyote.five.0]

i also love my i3 good to see another happy owner, i also love my tesla

[@chargeheadsuk]

As you know i got hit by Tesla on the bush at the back issue and Tesla replaced the whole knuckle on my Model 3 LR 102,000 miles. Worth checking for slight play in the drivers seat when you boot it mine has that issue, also paint flake bottom of the front sills if there are no mudflaps. Great vid James 👍⚡️💯

[@Jamesandkate]

Hi bud. I remember. We can do it for you roadside next time. I haven't seen many seat issues on the 3/Your 's, but will keep an eye out.

[@AshleyGoldsbrough]

I have a M3P June 2020, 140k miles. Slight play with drivers seat when accelerating spiritedly. Did you get yours sorted?

[@PeterKnotts]

Super super helpful, thanks so much. On my forth full fat Range Rover, considering switch to Y for many reasons, this kinda spooks me about Tesla build quality like the old P38 Rangie that pretty much started to fall apart new from the showroom

[@MrWobling]

Thanks James. Would be very interested in similar videos on others makes & models eg ID4/Skoda Enyaq. How do MG ZS EV compare to MG5s for reliability and dependability?

[@Joe-ud2hb]

Tks James for a really informative, helpful video. As an Eniro owner with 135k kms done on country roads I concur with you on the MG as the Kia hasn't needed anything yet, like yourself however I really like the MY & maybe one day own a Juniper which will hopefully have ironed out all those issues. It'll be interesting to see how well the Highland 3 holds up - yourself & the gang are our eyes & ears!! Thanks again.

[@Jamesandkate]

Looking forward to the FL MY, but we do love ours, despite the rear bushes being worn already.

[@judebrown4103]

Excellent video James, I'm unlikely to ever have a Tesla but its such fun to have a look at the nuts and bolts. Much more familiar territory than the big screen inside! We had our Ioniq 38 serviced by Cleevely's for the first time only yesterday, such great service from Lee, many thanks. 👍👏

Hopefully see you soon 😀

[@lewismcnicholas2631]

Do you have an opinion on the 2/4 year extended warranty available from Tesla - is it worth the month? Being quoted just under £3k on my 2023 model y rwd

[@KJSvitko]

Interesting video. Tesla has been pretty good at identifying defects and updating their processes to eliminate them. Tesla identifies problems and makes manufacturing changes to address them. Some take a little longer than others due to requiring supplier changes.

[@Jamesandkate]

Spot on. The cars continue to improve all the time.

[@KO-sx9uy]

every single Y And 3 I’ve looked at has misaligned panels and paint defects that a new car should not have

[@GantchoG]

[@georgepelton5645]

Very helpful to know what to watch out for. Thanks so much James.

[@Jamesandkate]

No probs.

[@commuterbranchline8132]

A very handy common faults guide James, thanks for sharing. I have had two rear knuckles and two front outer bearings replaced on my MY LR at 39000 under warranty. The car weighs in at 1970 KG, so it’s likely going to happen again in another 40k or less. I’ll definitely seek advice on replacing them with better quality items when it’s on my dime.

Weight is no excuse though.

We can do these roadside for you if and when it occurs.

[@mikebreen2890]

@@Jamesandkate Do you cover the north east, James? I have a feeling you do not. Quite seriously, if you did I might be more inclined to buy a Tesla over my MG5. Or am I wrong? The MG5 has to do 240 mile round trip tomorrow (53kw) and frankly it can be a pain on this occasion as deadlines have to be met.

[@AndrewGoodladIchorus]

We are looking at 2021 Model 3s in the next few months for my partner before she goes back to work. So handy to see what to look for. Hoping we will get one just in warranty. Have a Model Y Performance and had a 19 reg Model 3 Performance, so definitely experienced a few of these issues 😄

Great video James. We're in NZ and have a late 2023 Model Y RWD. The only issues we've had so far after 14,000km is the righthand side drivers seat bolster wear and rinkling which actually started around 3,000km so I am a bit worried about the longevity and quality of the seats. Other than that, haven't noticed anything else.

[@Jamesandkate]

That's a rare one. The seats are pretty robust in our experience.

[@zunzea]

Good points James and all of them valid

[@whitepanda5060]

Thanks a lot for your information, I see many model 3 had this advisories or even failure on "Nearside Rear Upper Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i))" seems like a common issues? if buying a model 3 with the above advisories, what are the cost of fixing?

Certainly is. They're actually very good, despite this video making it look the opposite.

[@johnlabernik4599]

I went in for front upper control arm replacement on my 2018 Fremont model 3 rwd and I asked about alignment due to uneven tire wear on the inside of both rear wheels. A tech told me this is intentional to provide lateral stability. Thoughts?

[@stephenclay6852]

Great video James. I admire your honesty. I know the early Tesla’s panel gap and paint was let’s say not very good. I think the moral of this is buy as new a car as you can but I’m with you I believe the tesla is great to drive yes it has the supercharger network at its disposal but there are other cars out there to consider. The one last point is the price of the cars Tesla keep dropping the price from time to time but they will possibly cut corners or cheapen down on some parts to compensate.

[@DerekDavis213]

Even recent Teslas paint job is below Honda or Toyota or Audi/VW.

[@munro12]

Fascinating honest briefing from a Tesla expert. A friend experienced steering vibration on a 6 month Model Y. Tesla finally diagnosed a buckled ns wheel. The list of potential faults seems very long. I know you said the MG was less prone to similar problems, but how does Tesla compare to the likes of VW and the Korean EV brands?

[@ntcoleman1529]

Thank you, James. Very informative video. Forgive me if this was already revealed - what model year is your Tesla Model Y? My understanding is that that Tesla updated the Y suspension beginning in model year 2023 - at least for the US market. I’m wondering if they addressed those suspension issues you mentioned? Thank you.

[@Jamesandkate]

Hi. Ours is a 22MY. They have softened the suspension on later models but i'm unaware as to whether the bush has been upgraded.

That was fabulous and informative, and i may end up watching it again as my M3 is over 2 years, no service light yet, but before it gets to 3 years, how far prior to the 3 year inspection do you recommend getting it checked?

What would be the main concerns with a SR+ model 3 with 210,000 miles ? , there is one on eBay for about £12k . I wouldn’t be too worried if it was long range but it’s just standard range + . Although it’s only ~ 150 odd miles a day so would probably have been charged at home once a day .

There a hypodermic needle available ( E Bay) which screws onto a grease gun which lets you inject the top ball joint

[@Jamesandkate]

The issue is, once you pierce the boot it allows water in and traps it. We pull the boot off when greasing these so it stays weather proof.

[@pollywollydo]

@@Jamesandkate yes but OK for a quick fix. A shallow angle of attack will minimise the hole as it can 90% reseal and is full of grease anyway, not flung out like a CV joint 🙂

[@marklewisduncombe]

To be fair, before my Tesla Model Y, I had a new BMW and before that 3 consecutive new Subarus. The Tesla has had way less issues and is so much nicer to drive, making the Subarus feel like driving a rattly bag of spanners.

[@Jamesandkate]

Agreed. This is very much a worse case scenario of what we see.

[@alastairkeith8553]

Great to see the common Tesla issues. It appears that Tesla have been proactive in modifying designs as issues become apparent and updating the parts on later cars. Are they reasonable with accepting warranty claims?

Interesting about wear on suspension bushes. Logically though, it’s not surprising, a lot of the modern 4x4s especially LR, use multi link suspension & wear due to weight & enthusiastic driving is very common. Also interesting are the corrosion issues with earthing points. Will these ultimately lead to electrical gremlins in the future & create headaches for Tesla as a brand?

[@Jamesandkate]

The earth points could lead to high resistance, but we haven't seen this to date

[@typxxilps]

Giga Berlin is low on order and will be which means wait before you buy cause we expect to see another round of price cuts as we have already seen some. Usually inventory , but 8% or more can be nothing for some or much for you. They have laid off a lot of people in Berlin. Seems like they are cutting costs everywhere as seen with the super charger team that has been fired. Next time tesla wants to hire here they will face more challenges cause the reputation is not the best, payment is not comparable to others and it took ages to find the workforce they once had needed. People tend to quit quite often cause the american habits are not so much appreciated by the workers like not to talk outside of the factory about tesla. Even though they can not fire you by law they try to get you out. Simply wait cause we expect changes soon and they will need to get rid of the inventory soon. At the end it is always a risk to buy a tesla cause once paid and the week is over where you can turn it back in (which is here even longer) then a price cut of 5000 € will hit you hard cause you will have lost a lot on that day. Residual value will decrease overnight. Therefore the rental fleets have given up to deal with tesla at least here and the USA

Not much different to many ICE manufacturers tbf. But good to know what to look out for. Considering most of it can be addressed under warranty within the first 50k miles, I'd not be too concerned. These MG5s have been engineered as taxis in China. Designed to cover good miles, with an element of agricultural reliability (and looks 😂). If they could have smoothed out the body lines for the mk1, It would have sold way better. Mk2 looks OK, but still has odd proportions. It's very Astra estate esque, but like it's on stilts.
