Tesla's quality control has been criticized by consumers, and another accident has been exposed recently. Recently, an American car owner Tesla posted that when he was carrying Model Y home on the highway, the panoramic skylight suddenly fell off and flew off, and the Model Y second became a convertible.

Foreign media reported that the incident occurred hours after the car owner and his parents bought the new Model Y from a Tesla dealership in California. The owner said that at first he heard a lot of wind. "I thought the window was open, but half a minute later, the whole glass roof fluttered with the wind."

According to reports, the owner was driving on the highway when the strong wind blew the roof off the Model Y and the owner had to drive the convertible version of the Model Y back to the dealer. Judging from the video, the roof glass of the Model Y is indeed missing, and the whole roof is bright. Model Y locates cross-border SUV, one of its major features is the ultra-wide panoramic glass roof.

Car owners also revealed that after picking up the car, they immediately noticed some minor assembly problems, such as "spacing and gap non-uniformity, which is a well-known problem of Tesla." But they didn't expect any problems with the huge panoramic glass roof of the crossover.

The car owner first called the police. The owner said his family informed the California Highway Patrol about the potential dangers on the interstate. Obviously, a huge piece of glass is scattered on the highway, which poses a serious threat to the safety of other vehicles.

Subsequently, the owner drove the Model Y without a glass roof back to the maintenance center of Tesla dealer. After inspection, the dealer believes that the roof of the Model Y may not be completely sealed when the seal is installed in the factory, or there may be a quality problem with the sealing parts on the roof.

According to the report, Tesla's dealer offered to repair Model Y for free and offered some compensation for renting a car, but the owner refused and said it was likely to buy a completely different car.

The owner also said, "fortunately, I don't think anyone has been hurt." In hindsight, this is ridiculous, but if it happens again, it could be a serious problem. "

After the accident that the roof of the car was blown off by the wind, the quality of Model Y became a hot topic on the Internet, and many foreign car owners complained that Model Y often had the fault of multimedia screen white screen, and so on.

At present, Tesla officials did not comment or explain this case.

It is worth noting that in the future, Model Y will be made in the super factory in Shanghai, China, which is Tesla's "profitable" model. According to officials, the localization of Model Y will take place in the first quarter of 2021.

According to the official website, there will be two versions of the Model Y model sold in China, the long-lasting version of dual-motor all-wheel drive is pre-sold for 488000 yuan, the WLTP has a range of 505km, and the acceleration time of 0100km / h is 5.1s; the Performane high-performance model is pre-sold for 535000 yuan, the WLTP has a range of 480km / h, and the acceleration time is 3.7s.

As Tesla continues to sell well in the Chinese market, Model 3 has become the largest sales of electric vehicles in the market. The occurrence of this quality incident has also aroused heated discussion in China, making fun of Tesla's quality control and quality problems one after another.

Some netizens even mentioned that the sales of domestic Model Y should not be poor, and they hope that the models produced by the Shanghai factory will not have such a "low-level" problem.
