Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 Y.
The 2023 Tesla Y Electric utilizes an electric powertrain and carries a reliability record encompassing 1,089 total owner complaints alongside 16 distinct recalls. Forward Collision Avoidance systems generated the highest complaint volume, marking a critical vulnerability in this production year's safety architecture. Taken together, these metrics position the 2023 variant as a high-incident model year within the Y Electric's reliability history, signaling substantial quality control challenges that researchers should weigh when evaluating long-term durability risks.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2023 Tesla Y top in one area — the forward collision avoidance, 186 of 1,089 reports (17%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 142 of the reports describe a crash and 3 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the forward collision avoidance pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
