I am not a car guy. Would gaps allow water to come in and causes issues as well as act like asail increasing air resistance?
Don’t ask questions, just hail Elon our overlord who can do no wrong!
Seig heil! Seig heil! Wait, wrong person… Or is it?!?
Probably not in this case. Most vehicle doors are designed to channel any water that enters the gap. But, Tesla may not be aware of this practice and rely only on the seals.
It would slightly increase wind resistance. Every car has weather stripping, making water not a concern even for comparatively very large gaps.
LoL some Tesla’s dont even have drainage tubes installed or weather stripping missing or installed incorrectly like needing an article about it
Also if you look up just “water leaking” and “tesla” you will find their forums full of people saying their cars let in water and even one person saying it gets in when they use a car wash and Tesla saying its normal and to just hand wash the vehicle from now on.
Some level of gaps is totally normal but this is a shit show.
