That is normal. Water is still outside of the gaskets.

I pop in to the forum from time to time... holy *sugar* Elon still doesn't have quality control on his radar yet. Pun intended. I feel bad for all these people dropping $140K plus on such garbage cars. Fun for sure but wow this thread is enough to keep me away a few more years... I lived it with my P100D...
How can you judge the quality of... quality control when your sample size is the definition of selection bias? It's literally a thread dedicated to problems.

at 10f I'm wondering if your describing the Plaid or yourself?First time out in the cold (10°f) with my new S Plaid, it has so many interior rattles I feel like I'm driving my old Jeep XJ that had 250k miles on it. Ridiculous for a 130k car.
Why? They are best positioned (aside from TMC community) to provide valuable intel.
Well, depending on what you mean by "left to the owners", but I might be one success story. My car did have a couple very minor issues at delivery (some missing clips in the front wheel wells, and two very small paint chips inside the driver door frame), all fixed on the spot before I took possession. I've had a repeating fault with the passenger airbag, but I just schedule service and they fix it (this next time, they're just replacing it completely). Perhaps that last one qualifies as "left to the owner to fix"? But, other than that, the car has been perfect.

The quality issues with my car post delivery (a few were fixed before I ever had it):
- Missing rear license plate frame
- The frunk service access panel wasn’t pushed down on all the clips. I pushed it back in and all is well.
- A few bits of unwashed adhesive residue from protector stickers.
Yes, that’s it.
Now, if I could get my permanent license plates from the state that would be swell

It's simply the ubiquitous Model S plastic frame usually sitting in a white sleeve in the trunk.
Believe it is specifically black as opposed to silver this go around. Matching the trim.
I am sure they are. I'm saying I don't want to have constant issues requiring me to have to go there...
Tesla gave me an update and they say that a
cooling fan failed. I don't understand why I have coolant all over my floor if only a cooling fan broke.

Cooling fans are notoriously located in close proximity to heat exchangers so I could only guess that an uncontrolled fan blade made contact, causing a hole and consequent leak of coolant.. This my guess...
You could be able to swing by a service center and get it. They should have a stock of them.

They are black and metal, not plastic FYI
