Thanks for the video. Had the SAME thing happen with my 2018 long range tesla model 3. Took it to Tesla and they said they "replaced" the cover seal.. When I checked the new seal that they installed it hadn't been replaced, and there was still 4-6 cups of water in the area where you can store things. Because i was still standing in the parking lot with my car holding the paperwork that said " new water seal rubber whatever was installed" I took It in and showed one of the service tech guys. Long story short it was never replaced like they said they did, very frustrating experience. Crazy to see a 2023 still has the same issue. SMH. I love Tesla but the service experience is horrible.
There are those two little bumpers on the bottom edge of the trunklid, with a spring in them. On our 2019 M3, one of these springs rotten away, I mean it went non-existing,.. Can’t imagine how could it be so damaged from water… I will definately check this out, thank you very much for the demonstration!
@@the.real.Black306I took my 2023 in four times within 1 month of ownership. I was so pissed I gave them a major attitude when they kept on saying “within specs” the fourth time.
After 4 times going to Tesla service I hope they fixed the water leak which was coming from the stop plug in my hatch back on my 2021 Y performance! The service advisor said that it was normal and I told him that’s a dumb statement. With an actual inspection it was found that water was leaking through the rubber grommets where the back lights sit. Hopefully, when it rains again I’ll see if this fix has 😊solved the problem. Subscribed 😊
Has this effectively worked? Just received a 2nd hand M3P and have the same issue. I haven’t seen any holes, might it be from the back of the tail lights?
Thank you, I have the same problem with my 2023 Model Y, And after two times sent in Tesla Service, it still didn't resolve😢So, what did you use to cover those holes?
Ended up taking it to a Tesla recommended body shop and had it covered under warranty. Had I done the repair myself, I'd use SeamWeld from JB Weld. If you're considering a 3rd visit to Tesla, show them TSB SB-23-10-002. It's for Model 3s, but the root cause covered in the TSB may apply to Ys as well.
Update on my 2021 Y Performance.I had to drop it off again on February 27, 2024 because of rain water in the back bottom hatch! This time they said after looking at an internal corporate memo that the sealant was not probably laid down in a continuous manner where the metal seams meet. They added sealant to the area and retested it and no water intrusion. This is the 5th time! When it rains again we’ll see if they fixed it 😊. Thanks 😊
If the car is still under warranty, it shouldn't cost you anything. It's not the light that needs to be replaced to fix a leak in my example. Problem are any gaps between the inner and outer shells of the trunk; they need to be sealed.
Technically, Tesla didn't fix it or root cause the issue. They [Tesla] thought it was a problem with a lack of sealant at the C-pillar and quarter glass. Pointed out the trunk issue to the Tesla-recommended body shop and they fixed the trunk. Problem was what I showed in the video; a lack of sealant between the trunk panels.
The reality of Tesla ownership. Poor build design & quality control, being directed to a 3rd party bodyshop (at own expense) or having to DIY flood control. 😢
Thanks for the video.

Again really appreciate this video.

Great tip, thanks. I had this problem but it has gone away. Possible Tesla fixed it when in service for another issue.
No effing way. They would never fix anything proactively. They don’t even try to fix some of the ones on the service request.
Has this effectively worked? Just received a 2nd hand M3P and have the same issue. I haven’t seen any holes, might it be from the back of the tail lights?
Just spotted 2 holes like the one you had, but on the opposite side where water was leaking. Siliconed it, lets hope it works
🤷♂️ Still have it blue-taped. Decided to take it to a body shop. Appointment is next week.
One month passed, got some heavy rain, no signs of any water getting in 🙏🏼
Awesome video!
Thanks!
They actually fixed that issue and it’s pretty well known Tesla should take care of that problem for free
Yea, it’s covered under warranty.

Good luck!
Dude I really thought it was a chrisfixit video lol
😂
What did you seal it up with? Just household silicone caulk? Or something else

which year model did they correct this?
Hopefully the new ‘24 Highland model. 😂
Should I pay Tesla 1600$ to replace the light so it doesn't leak?

@@the.real.Black306 past warranty 🙃Tesla service center is telling my it’s the light I don’t buy it either
silicone my friend.
Considering JB Weld SeamWeld.
Just do them all even if they're not leaking yet so you don't have to take the thing apart again. Won't hurt anything.
I have mold in my trunk too. 😢
That sucks!
Okay this is what you thought the problem was but took it to tesla and they fixed it. So what was that actual problem?

@@the.real.Black306 okay. Thanks for the reply

It has its quirks. FYI, Tesla is covering the 3rd party body shop charges; it's not at my own expense.
@@the.real.Black306 Good to know then 👍
Yes please don’t buy one, we dont want supercharger stations crowded.
Sure, poor build design. Tesla just has the best scores and safest, strongest design for crash tests of any production vehicle ever manufactured.
Constant design flaws. I guess they don’t really believe in quality control.
👍👍👍
IKEA style
🤣
Poor quality control
Bro is a cancerian ♋
Tesla is so poorly made
