Tesla has a reputation for innovation, but quality, well — not so much. We’ve seen glass roofs fly off of Model Ys, Home Depot trim used to prop up the cooling system, and numerous issues with the software that controls the vehicle.
One of the most serious issues uncovered by industry analyst Bozi Tatarevic’s digging through the bulletins is a missing nyloc nut from the upper control arm of the Model Y. The nut and bolt serve to hold the ball joint in place; it seems in some cases, it wasn’t quite doing that properly.
With this nut missing, the bolt it attaches to could fall out, which means most of the front suspension could come loose, and even come apart, while driving. The issue is widespread enough on the Model Y to warrant a service bulletin from the NHTSA.
