Tesla Owner Install Ski Passthrough In His 8 Month Old Model 3, And Finds THIS!

Tesla Owner Install Ski Passthrough In His 8 Month Old Model 3, And Finds THIS!
When you buy a car, you may do whatever you want with it – even trash it, if you will. That said, we would never recommend you to cut your Tesla Model 3 seats as the FrostyFingers YouTube channel has done in Norway. That voids the warranty for them. It may also compromise their structural integrity, even if you like skiing as much as the videomaker seems to do. That said, the video above shows something more relevant than a personal decision on what to do with a car. It reveals something eight-month-old vehicles should never have: rust.

Exposed bare stamped steel rusts. Who knew?

Calm the hell down! Elon invented rust.

I was going to add that same comment. Maybe, Tesla rust is light years ahead of anybody else.

@Truthy the rust means that the recycling process has begun.

Good catch. Another sign of Elon's genius.

Nah

Rust is a new process invented by Elan to prove this part is not made of Plastic

Should we start ripping open all cars and see how they look inside?

To answer that question, given the wide variety of cars that come through our body shops, rust like this--any interior rust--just doesn't show up. It's simply not an issue outside of Tesla.

Why don't we limit it to cars the same age as this Model 3.

Starts to explain all the fires. If there are corrosion issues (oxidized metal is basically a form of metal erosion which leaves a conductive metal trail) depending on how severe the corrosion is and the path of the corrosion, an "arcing' (i.e. conductive) condition will arise that allows any electrical current to 'arc' (i.e short circuit), which will generate intense amounts of heat, and create a fire, which will then have a chemical reaction with the Lithium batteries and torch the entire vehicle (and any unfortunate passengers who are 'locked' within).

It is highly likely that more people are going to die as a result of Tesla's apparent, shoddy, quality.

There have been 2 Model 3 fires, ever.. both due to accidents.

OK. That's damning then.

When was the last time anybody heard of an automotive rust issue on a vehicle that was less than 10 years old? #Never

Are you all afraid of a little bitty surface rust?

Here in Midwest, most GM, Ford, and FCA vehicles have body rust by 10 years.
