Taking delivery of your brand-new Tesla Model Y Juniper? Make sure you inspect every detail before driving off! We’ve created an easy-to-follow Tesla Model Y Delivery Checklist so you can check off key inspection points and ensure your new car is in perfect condition.
Why You Need a Delivery Checklist
Our Tesla delivery checklist has been a fan favorite, helping thousands of new owners make sure they’re getting a flawless vehicle. While Tesla’s quality has significantly improved, minor issues can still pop up. Identifying them before leaving the delivery center ensures Tesla logs them for future resolution.
Here are a few notable things to look out for. Check out the PDF checklist above for a more comprehensive list.
Key Areas to Inspect
1. Verify Your Vehicle Details

✅ Included Accessories – Depending on your trim, confirm you received:

✅ Wheels & Tires – Check for curb rash or transit damage.
3. Interior & Electronics Check

✅ Seats & Interior Surfaces – Look for scuffs, dirt, or material imperfections.
✅ Charging & Ports – Test USB-C ports, wireless chargers, and the 12V power outlet.
✅ AC, Heated/Ventilated Seats – Ensure air conditioning, heated/cooled seats, and all climate controls work properly.
