https://electrek.co/2019/03/05/tesla-mo ... underbody/Tesla Model 3 owners in cold climate are starting to uncover what appears to be a design flaw in an underbody panel of the vehicle – resulting in sand and water getting stuck.
Over the years, Tesla has often been accused of designing cars in California for the Californian climate.
Yet, Tesla vehicles have performed extremely well in colder climates and have often been praised for their winter driving performance.
Some Model 3 owners, myself included, ran into some issues in Canada where things like the door handles, charge ports, and frameless windows didn’t perform well in extremely cold weather.
Tesla has since been trying to push updates to help the situation.
Now, we learn of another problem with Model 3 that becomes evident in colder climates, especially where they use sand to de-ice the roads.
Eric Bolduc, the owner of Antirouille Bolduc, an anti-rust body shop specializing in electric vehicles in Quebec, has found significant amounts of sand and dirt accumulating in the underbody panel at the back of every Model 3 he has worked on so far.
