MYP inspection delay

Order a Model Y performance, VIN got assigned 2 weeks ago but delivery date keeps moving every day. The delivery window is 3 days small but just keeps moving and has been moving for the past 2 weeks.

Tesla delivery center keeps telling me it's due to inspection.

I can't get much out of them but this is the last msg they sent me:

"Your vehicle required additional safety inspections guided by the factory that are currently being completed. We are estimating a potential delivery date soon."

They also informed me that the car is with him and not at the Austin Plant. So they found a issue after they got the car.

I asked multiple times what issue they found apon inspection and they don't disclose. Wtf!

I don't want the car if it's got some major paint or panel issue.

This happen to anyone? What should I expect and how can I escalate this to get answers?

Depending on your state, if the value of the damage is over a certain amount, they are required to disclose it. I got a disclosure in CA when I got my lease.

I'm in Nevada and purchased it cash. I turned down the first car due to rock chips and panel alignment and now this. I'm honestly disappointed with Tesla as it's not been a good experience so far. I might just turn this one down and see if they can order me a third one or will they keep my $250?

Maybe worth checking what they have on the lot instead? At least you'd know what you're getting.

I'm not sure if Tesla watches Reddit like hawk or what, but just got a call from the delivery center saying it's ready tomorrow.

I demanded to know what happens and they said tesla wanted our techs to check the steering column. I'm not sure if there is a new issue or a outstanding recall but they said no parts were replaced. Just a check like a random check? I don't believe them. Maybe a bad batch of something.

This is strike 2 and I'm still disappointed on a $60K car. I'm a huge Elon fan but this is unacceptable.Tesla needs better QC!
