WATCH: Model Y Owner Proudly Proclaims His Model Y Is ALMOST PERFECT After Only 7 Repairs In First 5 Months

It's patient, understanding Tesla owners like Andy Cheng that work to help keep the electric automaker successful. While he's not afraid to share his story, mostly with the hope of helping others, he's willing to joke about it, and he still loves his Tesla Model Y Performance despite its 'Lucky Number Seven!' status.

Back in April, not long after Cheng took delivery of his Model Y, we shared a very brief video outlining his initial problems. We give him much credit for hanging in there this long, though he does say Tesla Service was very helpful and "friendly throughout the whole process," which made it "more tolerable." At the same time, it's crazy to think that on top of all the issues that came straight from the factory, Tesla Service had trouble installing parts and performing repairs without welcoming new problems.

just shows that reliability and build quality aren't the kings they once were.

I have been saying that for years. Very few people care about reliability nowadays as we can see.

Early adopters will turn a blind eye, as they are in it for the latest tech, but as the mainstream enter the brand, there will be less patience for this.

The question is will he like his car enough to buy a Tesla again despite the initial issues. The answer is likely yes. Although seriously, Tesla needs to get their act together here. If the Shanghai can produce near perfect cars right off the bat, Fremont should have their sh** together by now.
