AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/12 Report--

The first batch of Tesla Model 3 arrived at Tianjin Port on Feb. 12, and Tesla officially delivered Model 3 in the Chinese market on Feb. 22. It can be said that the Model 3 is a star model that has attracted a lot of attention since its launch, but the first impact on Chinese consumers after the launch of this new imported car is not good. After the first owners picked up the car, a large number of Model 3 problems broke out, such as incorrect assembly, abnormal steering wheel, failure of electronic equipment, and so on. Recently, Shenzhen was experiencing heavy rain, and one car owner could not bear to complain about his Model 3 "leakage" on the Internet.

Netizen @ Wu Fengjie posted a video on Weibo, complaining about the water seepage in Tesla Model 3, saying that "the leakage is really unacceptable."

And he didn't seem to be the only one leaking in the car. Another Weibo post posted by the netizen said that Tesla Model 3, another cyclist from Shenzhen, was leaking more seriously.

As can be seen in the video, Rain Water has seeped into the car and dripped down the water cup holder below, which seems to be a little serious.

Water seepage on rainy days is difficult for car owners to accept, and his Tesla Model 3 has many problems, large and small, such as large screen crash, failure of electronic equipment, deformation of sealing tape, and so on.

"this is one of the worst cars I've ever driven in a high-speed NVH!"

"the big screen of model 3 often crashes. Basically once a day. It will still crash after updating 8.5! "

Netizens said, "you should buy a traditional gasoline car in a down-to-earth manner. If you can return the car, you must return it."

Today, the car owner received an official reply from Tesla. Tesla said after sale that the leak was caused by the failure of the sealant. "after sale, he told me that the sealant was not done properly. Now let me go and check it out! It is estimated that the whole glass is removed and re-glued. "

Tesla's Model 3 leakage does not seem to be an isolated case. It is said that because of the torrential rain in Shenzhen these two days, seven or eight car owners have reported the situation of water leakage inside the car, and some netizens have found that there is a gap between the glass of Model 3, which may be the main reason for water seepage.

Model 3 has also been exposed as a result of design defects in opening the trunk of Rain Water into the trunk, Model 3 uses a slippery back styling design, but it is not a hatchback design, that is, the trunk and rear window glass are not connected together, this is the "culprit" of the Model 3 trunk "leak", and as to why Tesla chose this kind of trunk design, Musk has also said that this is out of consideration of the space on the heads of the back passengers.

In the United States, the main users of Tesla Model 3 are in California, and one of the characteristics of the weather in California is that there is basically no rain, but the situation in China is different, and heavy rain is not uncommon. Did Tesla take into account the weather conditions in China when designing?

It is not known whether the "leakage" of Tesla Model 3 is a common problem. In the next few days, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other places will usher in heavy rain and thunderstorm winds, and the car will also face a test.
