Model records

What changes the warranty calculation

Our Tesla Model Y records contain 4,079 submitted complaints across 7 model years. The median count per model year is 335 reports, which lets you compare a year with the middle of this model's recorded counts.

The 2023 record contains 1,141 complaint reports. No listed year has a higher raw count, though other years may be tied. This comparison uses all listed years without adjusting for sales or time on the road; it does not establish a failure rate.

EV traction battery replacement has the highest midpoint parts estimate among the applicable repair categories, at $13,000. Check whether that system remains under factory coverage before pricing an extra contract.

Symptoms, recalls and source documents

Research Tesla Model Y problems before choosing coverage

FixCatalogue links to symptom descriptions, documented conditions and the original recall or manufacturer sources. Read those details when researching a problem; a complaint count alone cannot tell you which part to replace or whether a contract will pay.

12 indexed model-year file links across 5 distinct file labels. Separate campaigns can share a label, so every displayed campaign keeps its own source URL. Source-link snapshot: 2026-09-03. Labels are derived from public URLs; the source file controls the details.

Check coverage for the current problem first

Get the current problem diagnosed and check factory coverage or recall remedies first. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions. Set those costs aside when comparing coverage for future eligible failures.
