Reply to comment by Pdxlater in Tesla Model Y Was Europe's Best-Selling Car Overall In November by poke133

I thought that the quality reviews on this particular model were quite poor. Has this stuff gotten a lot better?

Consumer Reports - 14 Dec 2022 - Tesla and Nissan Make the Most Reliable Electric Vehicles

> The relatively strong reliability of the Model 3 is unique among Tesla’s lineup: Its other models remain below average. Closely related to the Model 3, the newer Model Y has improved in recent years but still shows some suspension issues and body hardware problems associated with closing the hatch, and paint and trim. Owners have reported problems with the air suspension on the higher-end Tesla models.

it seems ModelY still has to catch up to Model3 in overall quality.

Ahh, thanks for the point about the 3. I didn't know that it was doing better, that's nice to hear.

I got a Y in October. A year before I test drove a 2020 Y—it was shit. The Y I got is one of the nicest cars I’ve ever been in. Spartan minimalism aside, the interior is incredibly comfortable and well put together. I’d say they’ve improved the quality a lot, but I also got an Austin built Y where I know the original Fremont built Ys were dogshit.

Initial quality that also includes cosmetic defects can be very different than overall customer satisfaction where Tesla excels.

I know they do with the Model S in particular. I just have not heard the same about the 3/Y.

It’s an overall brand rating. X and S are now such a small portion of Tesla sales that they probably don’t factor much into the ratings.
