    Rear Wheel Well Liner

    Sorry, over-engineered is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Leaving a hole in the fender liner where dirt, mud, pebbles, ice, road salts etc. can get in is the same reason I had to replace my steering knuckle/damper joint. Same reason being, no protection from the elements. Put them in if...

    Rusting of the rear lift gate attachment points

    2013 tesla model s with just over 150,000 miles (recently acquired). The posts look really bad on mine. Is tesla fixing this for free? Or will I be charged due to mileage? Or does anyone know where I can get the posts? I'm about 2 hours from a service center.
