Thanks , regarding the tires, the hard snow stiks to the interior wall to the textile that rips the interior of the wheel dome causing problems..

Lite plass mellom hjulbuer og dekk - uheldig på vinter/dårlig sledeføre?

Umm, you know that's a Saab and not a Tesla right?
Hey aren't you sposed to be moderating?

Guys, fellow Norwegian Newbie here has a habit of reposting all kinds of (negative) stuff from the Norwegian electric car forum. I think this issue deserves attention, since if it is not just a freak occurrence it could point to a possible design flaw. However, as far as I can tell, so far it is just that: a freak single occurrence. Also, Laumb (very active on the Norwegian forum and I know he posts a lot here too, he is one of the founders of the Norwegian Tesla Motors Club etc.) could very well speak for him self and given at little bit of time I'm sure he himself could and would post about this here, after seeing how Tesla explain and resolve it. I don't think it's great to just pass on information like that when it would be so much easier to let the source speak for themselves. Just for the record Laumb has posted on the Norwegian board that as soon as he saw this he contacted the local service center and they seem to be all over it.
Also big facepalm on (again) rehashing/linking that photo of the SAAB with snow caught in the wheel well. Kind of goes to prove the quality of Newbie's way of "relaying" sensational news.
Yes , its a Saab , but i also posted the link to the pictures of the Teslas and the rift in the inner living caused by the ice and snow. I should have been more specific, sorry for that . Follow the link provided , the pictures are there, couldn't post them here .

Theres 2 now , probably more as the sunroof season kicks in. I think this is a big issue, can't understand the flaming. It's in every bodies interest to get these things solved fast and for everyone to know what to look for.
seriously???? c'mon.

well even I understand it if you're posting pics of a saab under the guise of a tesla...done with this thread.
Where do I write that the pic is of a tesla ?
- Mold Spores. Ranging in size from 3 to 40 microns (human hair is 100-150 microns), mold spores are ubiquitous – they are literally everywhere. There is no reasonable, reliable and cost-effective means of eliminating them from environments that humans inhabit. So, trying to control mold growth through the elimination of mold spores is not feasible.
- Mold Food. If all three other requirements are met, almost any substance that contains carbon atoms (organic substance) will provide sufficient nutrients to support mold growth. Even the oil from your skin that is left when you touch an otherwise unsuitable surface, like stainless steel, or the soap residue left from a good cleaning will provide sufficient nutrients to support the growth of some molds. And many of the most common materials found in homes like wood, paper and organic fibers are among the most preferred of mold nutrients. Thus, eliminating mold food from your environment is a virtually impossible task.
- Appropriate Temperatures. Unfortunately, most molds grow very well at the same temperatures that humans prefer. In addition, anyone who has cleaned out their refrigerator quickly realizes that temperatures close to freezing are not cold enough to prevent mold growth and temperatures that are much warmer than humans prefer, like those of the tropics, will grow abundant quantities of mold. Therefore, it is not feasible to control mold growth in our home environment through the control of temperature.
- Considerable Moisture. Most molds requires the presence of considerable moisture for growth. Obviously, the word "considerable" is key here. The mycologists (fungi scientists) refer to "water activity" when describing the required conditions for mold growth. The various species of mold have different water activity requirements. A material's "water activity" is equivalent to the relative humidity of the air that would be in equilibrium with the material at that material moisture content. The vast majority of mold species require "water activity" levels that are equivalent to material equilibrium moisture contents corresponding to relative humidities of at least 70%. In fact, the great majority of serious, large mold outbreaks inside buildings occur where porous, cellulose-type materials have literally been kept wet by liquid water or sustained condensation.
We're up to five owners on the Norwegian forum reporting mould in the sunroof. This seems like a design flaw.
Well, the water intrusion is more likely a design flaw than anything else, which is the root cause. It's entirely possible that without the felt tape, we'd see these issues five years from now instead of now. Tesla definitely needs to look at the issue and make some corrections.I suspect an issue with the felt tape rather than a design flaw per se. Still, it's not pretty and should be an easy fix.
For cross reference - there is also a poll over here.

As for why only Norwegian owners report it? One thing to remember is that the Model S is a comparatively cheap car in Norway. Most buyers are regular middle-class folks, and they don't necessarily use their cars in the same way as US owners do. You can be sure that Norwegian Teslas sit outside more often. If that's not it, another possible reason is that the service center here might have done something to these particular cars, and that this is causing the mould.
