Hey guys, would you be annoyed by a wheel crease for brand new Y? I thought this was just dust/dirt on pick up but it’s actually a crease… small eye sore. Would Tesla replace this as a manufacturer defect? Thank you in advance.
Make them replace it
That means your shit got that girth, be happy and be proud!
It’s the designed breaking point for the airbag. If you look on the passenger dashboard you’ll likely see a crease there too.
so many teslas have the dick vein
No crease on the passenger side.
Yes, I agree
It’s under warranty, use the app and request repair.
Mine has that too. Are you going to be honking like crazy? When the car is a few months old it would be forgotten about. It’s not a big deal. As long as the air bag works.
You're kidding right?
Every car with an airbag in the steering wheel has it. It was even more noticeable in my BMWs. Depending on the shape of the airbag cover, it may or may not be noticeable. Not as noticeable in my Mercs.
Nope, all they can say is that that’s the way they come.
They’ve been like that for years, it’s how they’re designed.
I just got rid of my 4 series bmw, didn’t have this cosmetic issue.
No, this is a QC issue, either all cars have it or none do.
Ohh ok, so all teslas have this crease?
Sorry my ocd is killing me…
Yes they all have dick veins
Pretty much, I have 3 and all 3 have it, might get lucky and not see it but it's there in all of them.
You made a mistake in buying a Tesla then my friend.
LoL, nah I still love the car so much!
Thank you for your response, I feel better about it lol
I personally just view it as the airbag should come out easily if I need it.
There is a seam on the passenger side dash for the airbag.
Yes
Yes it did. You just didn’t notice it
Some more noticeable than others but generally all of them with airbags should have some sort of crease as a thinner release point.
No it didn’t.
All cars with steering wheel airbags have this…
What about asking the question directly to Tesla Service Dept via your App and joining a picture?
I just did, they are reviewing it. Appointment next week.
I have the same crease.
I don't know about *all* of them, but my Juniper has this exact shape on it too. I've seen similar on other cars, it's a weak point for the airbags to burst through.
I think most have that.
I had three BMWs. A G01 X3, G20 330i and G20 M340i. All three had it. It was most visible in the 330i though. Worse than in your photo. Like someone else mentioned, in some cars, even of the same model, it'll be more prominent. Why? No idea. But that is how it is.
They all have it with that steering wheel, even the S and X
