I just discovered some dripping/leaking coming from behind the right rear wheel. There’s no color, no smell to it. Feels like water when I touch it and rub it into my hand and dries out, so it seems like condensation but from way back there? Anyone have any idea what it may be?

Dripping/leaking behind rear wheel

That’s what I’m thinking but from wayyyy back there? There’s a/c condensation in the front where it usually comes from as well, I’ve just never seen it come from this far back in any vehicle.

That’s the first thing I tried to remember but I’m almost certain I didn’t go over any water.
It’s the first time I notice it because I almost never walk by the passenger side, I just happened to be outside doing some yard work when I noticed it. I had just gotten home about 20-30 minutes before.
Just checked now, panels and ground are dry and there seems to be no more dripping, so it’s definitely something that occurs while driving.

My model Y drips at the rear driver side after a drive. There is probably a path the water is traveling when the car is moving. I assume this is what is happening to your X as well.
When I park and have the AC running, it drips from the front.

Pre-refresh with 5 seats had one condenser and fan up front. The 6 and 7 seat configurations had a second condenser and fan above the rear right wheel for the rear seat vents. The 5 seater had a tough time keeping the rear seats cool. I have not seen this mentioned for recent models but I assume it is the same.

You hit the nail on the head! It did cross my mind due to the look and feel of the liquid, but I couldn’t fathom the idea of something like that being way back there. However, upon further research, you are 100% correct, 6/7 seaters have dual hvac systems and the liquid, which is certainly water, is in fact consisted with that of a hvac system. Thanks for the info.
