This is 100% accurate. I just had my Model Y at a Tesla service center today for same issue.
It was a bent liftgate hinge that needed replacement.
They replaced and I am good if not better than when I received from factory.
That's great to hear! Glad you enjoyed the video.
How much did it cost to get it replaced??
Redesigning the hinge is only treating the symptoms. Tesla really should send power to both struts thus reducing the amount pressure needed in each strut to open the tailgate.
It cost money you know. The most important thing for Tesla is to pump out vehicles, the cheaper the better.
Quality?
Naah. Not important.
Guess why radar, sodar, stalks and that went away?
Soon they will remove the seats except driver seat and have a "Premium package" where "Seat included"...
@@Xanthopteryx Hahaha so true. Tesla quality AND service is so bad, its laughable. They'll make you come in 5 times and hold your car for 3 months if they have to until a part (in my case a little plastic clip) comes in.
Thank you. More!
Very helpful.
Thank you!
They should really offer electric power strut retrofit for the other side of the trunk.
I don’t get it, the trunk is so massive on the model Y, I really don’t trust this strut a lot on my Model Y.
Especially since on the new Model 3 refresh they added a second power strut they should really retrofit it on the Model Y.
Thanks for the video. So much more helpful than tesla itself.
Any time. Happy to hear you found this helpful!
How on earth can they let cars like this out from the factory?!
If you think that Audi or BMW is better, guess again.
@@renebezdek3084 Oh much much better than Tesla. That is for sure.
And that of course does not mean that they are good, but Tesla is so bad so almost everyone else is good in comparison.
The issue is happening after the hatch is used many times. Mine was perfect out of the factory. 3 months of use and it’s out of alignment. I did adjust/realign mine myself in about 2hrs at home.
@@covetthecamper2289 That is still a bad design and they should not let cars out of the factory until they have a permanent fix (like... maybe two motors to lift the hatch, as one example).
@@Xanthopteryxgo whine to your boyfriend.
Wow, just had this issue come up on my Model y, and I had a feeling it was something to do with the strut. Thanks for the education, my car is going into tesla this afternoon so it gives me some ammunition if they come back at me for the issue
Glad you found this video helpful! How was the visit to Tesla?
great! they replaced the driver side hinge under warranty, took about 4 hours @@evolveevcare
Thank you for help with trunk panel caps adjusting.
I am looking for the hinge catalog part number left &right I hope you can help
That's in advance

The only fault I've had on my Model Y after 38k miles is the tailgate, so thanks for this video.
Got same issue on my myp22. I leave it as is.
Isnt it interesting that Teslas from Shanghai dont have any problems. Nothing short of perfect.

I have model YLR with the same issue what is the cost/time range for such fix?
Dont even go in... It is more of a headache trying to gget an appointment at a decent service center, than it is to fix it
My 2022 MYLR getting water still after I took it to service and nothing they replace the gasket and still same issue 😢

Subbed immediately
4 visits to Tesla later, issue still exists. At least now the door closes and locks without requiring me using my hands to force it down to lock. Is Tesla being lazy and not fixing the root cause?
They avoid anything that cost money.

Very poor quality build and components
True of all Tesla vehicles. Japanese cars are far better.
Agree with both of you!
Well, that’s a straight lie.
@@xploration1437 You think Tesla offers a quality build? Please elaborate.
@@DerekDavis213 their gaps used to be not great. Like 10 years ago. Some people just can’t not hate Tesla because of Elon. Have you toured the Austin factory? Do you own a Tesla? Have you ever even been a Tesla? I doubt it.
my VW 2019 golf R hatchback has much larger hinges, tesla is under designed garbage, priced like a Porsche, built less than a Kia rio
You sound dumb as fuck 😭😭😂😂😂😂
How much do they charge for this junk? What a scam.
the hinges on my 2013 VW tiguan are more massive and not powered. tesla is junk
I've seen several Teslas with a bad build here in Silicon valley. It's even more surprising seeing Teslas pulled over the side of the highway for car problems. Teslas are built by kids. 😂
My guy theirs no transmission. What problems are you gonna have?.. a dead battery?💀
@@DreDresChapters Of course there is a transmission.
_Teslas are built by kids_
Tesla factory workers are not in a union, and earn less money and benefits than Detroit auto workers.
Chinese and German Teslas are so much better. I really don’t get it why the us build teslas are so bad.
@@MarsPLAYStudio I will tell you why they are so bad.
Tesla factory workers in California are not union workers, and their pay and benefits are not enough, for the very expensive cost of living in Fremont.
The factory also has a toxic environment, and there have been lawsuits concerning racism at the factory.
China and Germany treat the workers better.
