Common Problems with the
2025 Tesla Model Y
The 2025 Tesla Model Y has an excellent reliability record with no widely reported common faults for this model year period.
Buying Tips for 2025 Tesla Model Y
- Test the ride quality over speed bumps; early Long Range and Performance models have notoriously harsh suspension.
- Check the huge single-piece glass roof for any stone chips or stress cracks, which are expensive to replace.
- Listen for a booming resonance in the cabin over rough roads, a known issue on early builds caused by tailgate misalignment.
- Inspect the alloy wheels, particularly the 20-inch Induction wheels, which protrude past the tyre and curb very easily.
- Verify that the motorized tailgate opens fully and closes without snagging or making grinding noises.
- Check for condensation inside the rear tail lights, a common minor fault that Tesla usually replaces under warranty.
