Consumer Description
Took delivery for a brand new Tesla Model Y LR 2023 on Apr 20 2023. Wheel alignment issues since the day took delivery. Opened a service request on April 24th to fix the issues. 1st appointment scheduled for May 1. Technician offset the steering wheel to fix the issue. Did not help. Rescheduled again for 2nd service on May 4th. The service technician rechecked the wheel alignment and offset the steering wheel by -1.2. Did not help and the vehicle continues to drift to the right. I need to keep applying force to the steering wheel to bring it back to the road. Tesla is not able to fix the issues and says that its within the range. I have tried other Tesla vehicles and I did not see the issue. Infact in none of the test drive cars I drover before ordering Telsa had these issues. The loaner Tesla offered me while my Model Y was being fixed had that issue. Wheel alignment is a very basic issue and if Tesla is unable to fix this, then I am suspecting there is a bigger issue with the car and are neither unable to verify nor fix the issue. They are unable to replace the car as well and are not offering any options other than saying nothing can be done.
