Tesla Model Y Delivery Checklist​

• Vehicle VIN matches the assigned VIN
• Color is as ordered
• Wheel style is as ordered (19" 'Gemini' Wheel, 20" Induction Wheel, etc).
• A sleeve with two keys is provided
• Check the head light fit
• Inspect the paint around intake vents on the front bumper
• Inspect the frunk, look for paint defects, dents and signs of improper closing by the sides of the T logo
• Make sure the hood sits flush with the quarter panels and frunk
• Inspect that the windshield is installed properly (gaps between the glass and A pillar on either side should be approximately equal). An improperly installed windshield causes significant wind noise at highway speeds.
• Check for uneven/wide panel gaps and that panels are flush to car
• Check that the trim along the bottom of the sides of the vehicle are flush with the bottom of the doors
• Check for trim stains
• Check all 4 door levers
• Ensure wheels are not scratched

• Confirm all 4 hubcaps are present and properly attached
• Check for dings on pillars
• Inspect the paint on the outside and the door jams, ensure panel corners do not have chips
• Check for damage to black rocker panels
• Check the tail light fit

• Photo: Tail light (passenger side) not flush with panel
• Fix: Not yet available

• Check charging port fit (driver's side)
• Inspect the tail lights for condensation
• Inspect the undercarriage, look for damage, missing screws, or screws that are sticking out

• Photo: Undercarriage screw found sticking out, not fully tightened
• Fix: Requires a 10mm wrench; ask the service center staff to inspect all screws and clips (they should've done it already)

• Inspect all wheel wells. Each wheel well is fitted with noise dampener covers that are attached to the body with a combination of plastic pins (pushed in all the way) and metal threaded pins (sticking out) with plastic nuts. Confirm that all plastic pins are present (there are no empty holes) and all metal pins (2 in each front wheel well, 4 in each rear wheel well) are present and properly attached.

• Photo: threaded pins with and without plastic nuts
• Fix: mobile service can fix it in minutes

• Check alignment and gaps around headlights, trunk arms, roof, and frunk

Unlocked​

• Turn on the lights including: fog lights, headlights, tail lights, reverse light, brake lights, headlight signal, and side signal lights
• Check that wipers function correctly and look for potential wiper dings on hood
• Inspect all glass and make sure there are no scratches or cracks
• Check for trim scratches on windows due to a software bug that doesn't automatically lower the window when opening the door

• Test power liftgate operation and height adjustment
• Inspect the weather seals around door gaps and windows

• Open and close windows using one click open close and manually open and close (make sure there are no noises and they stay up when you close, and when they go down they do all the way down for front two windows. The rear two windows don't go down all the way.
• Verify backup camera
• Play a familiar track through the sound system and confirm that all speakers work (use the balance and fader controls) and there are no unexpected clicks, etc.

• Check all interior lights, and that all reading lights turn on with a press
  • Puddle lights, door pocket lighting, overhead lights, etc.
