Did you just add more foam to where the current little foam squares were?

I gotta figure out the leather piece above the instrument cluster.

 

It's pretty clear what the first mistake was! 😜

 

I had some issues with my 2019 Lux model. The seal from the panoramic glass roof had problems, which led to increased road noise inside the cabin, especially around 1000 miles. It took three visits to the service department, but Lexus finally replaced it after bringing in a specialist, and that resolved the issue. I noticed that panoramic glass roofs tend to allow more noise inside the cabin, especially in cold climates with ice and snow. Although the difference wasn't significant, it was noticeable. That's why I chose to have the standard moonroof instead for my special order 22 UL model.

Here are some drawbacks of having a panoramic glass roof:

- More heat can enter the vehicle during the day.
- There's less headroom available with this type of glass roof.
- It adds more weight to the roof of the vehicle.
- It can create more noise and complexity in your car.
- Driving in the rain can be much louder.
- Condensation may collect on the glass during colder months.
- It could potentially reduce the structural integrity of the vehicle.

The only other issue to mention - sometimes there are brief hesitations when accelerating at lower speeds. I have experienced this issue on both my 2019 Lux and 2022 UL. It has been discussed in other threads with varying descriptions, but it all boils down to the same problem.

 

28th out of 32 in dependability by J D Power. Consumer Reports list the ten least reliable vehicles and the Model Y is one. Consumer Reports has them 27th out of 28 in reliability.Their horrible quality of paint and uneven door and fender gaps is well known. All facts now IMO the most boring exteriors. The only thing worse is their interiors.

 

You forgot to mention the steering wheels come off the shaft.

I am not saying that is dangerous…yeah, no that’s exaclty what I am saying.

 

I don’t remember exactly where I put the foam tape, just went *****-nilly. The leather pad is super easy to remove, just tug at the rear corners then pull the panel straight towards you. I’m pretty sure I asked the question on here somewhere, but it’s really that simple

 

I can't imagine why anyone would even take a chance on buying a Tesla. Every time I read about Tesla it's a recall, one caught on fire, an auto drive ran over someone and killed them, or some other negative story. I will say this regarding my Lexus 350: The quality between my 2013 made in Japan was better than my 2019 made in Kentucky. Panel misalignment is my only complaint other than the lousy 8 speed tranny on the UL '19. I had no issues at all with the '13, found the 6 speed tranny perfect but wanted the new updated safety features on the '19. There is NO car that comes off the assembly line at 100% defect free and that includes Lexus. Neither of these two 350's had/have rattle issue, creaks, cracks, or anything else.

 

Always get a chuckle when I see a Tesla Model Y or 3 with the black or silver plastic wheel covers. A luxury vehicle really. The last time I saw plastic wheel covers was my first car parents 1971 Ford Pinto I bought from them.

 

Sorry to hear about your issues. I took delivery on a 2023 ES300h at the end of Oct 2022 and now has 18,950 miles. On 4 occasions while on a trip, my center console wouldn't close. After I rest my arm on it for a 20-40 seconds it would eventually latch. I plan to leave it open next time the issue present itself so the dealer can assess the issue.

 

And then some teenager comes along and steals it with a phone charging cable...
