Tech YouTuber Austin Evans sold his family's 2021 Tesla Model Y because he was fed up with a myriad of quality concerns.
"It was like death by a thousand cuts," Evans told Insider about the car, on which he and his wife put about 25,000 miles over the past two years."There were just a bunch of little issues that piled up." Evans said it started with a strip of glue smeared between the panels of his sunroof that he noticed when the car was first delivered, but he discovered more issues with the Tesla over time.for his over 5 million subscribers earlier this month.
In the video, he detailed quality control issues. Parts were on the brink of falling off the car, he said, including the passenger side speaker and aon the back of the vehicle. A panel under the car dragged and rattled when the vehicle was in motion, Evans added, and only a few months into owning the vehicle he had to tie the covers for the seat controls down because they were falling off.
He also criticized the car's ride quality, which he said caused him to lurch in the seat at nearly every bump on the road.Outside of quality concerns, Evans wasn't a fan of Tesla's interior design — which lacks a dashboard — saying it took the lack of physical controls"to an absolutely ridiculous minimal level.
