How accurate is 23andMe's YDNA haplogroup estimate?
How accurate is 23andMe at getting your haplogroup right? Is there a chance my FTDNA YDNA test will be different?

The basic clade will be accurate ,If it gives deeper subclade it'll probably be wrong...

It was very accurate for me, I got the same result for my Y-DNA on both 23andme and FTDNA (also on Wegene + Morley's Y-DNA predictor). However, FTDNA narrowed my mtDNA down to a more specific subclade, so in individual cases I suspect FTDNA might be more accurate for some people.

23andme is accurate and can often give you a deeper subclade than basic str testing at FTDNA; depending on which test you buy. Whats your Y dna and ethnic background?Originally Posted by Adoptee

From what I now know my birth father's family is from northern Germany (schleswig-holstein area) originally. The subclade is R-M167 which the internet tells me is actually Spanish. This seems improbable to me

You mean like "R1b" is right but the more exact subclade R-M167 could be wrong?

Probably something more than R1b I'm not sure ,I base this on the fact that I got G-F82 and I recently found a match with common patrilineal ancestor who got a different one.

VERY ACCURATE. But not that precise

What do you mean by accurate but not precise?
