"Satan's dandruff".What the hell is all that white stuff?
I understand the pain of getting a trunk full of snow, if you're not paying attention. However I'm unclear how you can live in a snowy area and not know to wipe off before opening something.
Same damn problem was there. Same damn solution now.My previous cars have been a 1995 Ford Taurus, 2006 Mazda 6 and a 2012 Ford Mustang. None of these cars had an issue with snow pouring like an avalanche off of the back window into the trunk when it was opened. Taking care of the doors before opening them sure, that’s a given, but I’ve never experienced snow intrusion to this extent before with any previous vehicle.
@PoitNarf: i decided to see what was magical about your previous cars' design that prevented snow from sliding into the trunk.
1995 Ford Taurus:
2006 Mazda 6:
2012 Ford Mustang:
With the exception of the mustang, where the trunk lid leaves a thinner gap with the trunk opening, you're going to get snow sliding into the trunk. There's no fundamental difference in design. You have sloping glass pointed right at the trunk opening.
I can’t believe you took the time to search for and post photos of the different trunks of my previous cars
Anyway, I stand by my statement that there is a greater likelihood of large amounts of snow falling into the trunk when it is opened compared to the other cars I’ve had in the past. The rear window is at a steeper slope and is much larger than my other cars. And yes, I will be putting the snow brush in the cabin from now on.
Because you're in such a hurry to drive the Model 3 that you forget to clear first?Anyway, I stand by my statement that there is a greater likelihood of large amounts of snow falling into the trunk when it is opened compared to the other cars I’ve had in the past.
Don't care what either of you say, I've had plenty of sedans and they've never been as bad as the Model 3 with snow and rainwater flowing into the trunk when opening it. Poor design on Tesla's part.
Tell me again how much winter testing was done?
I keep a squeegee and rag in the rear seat door pocket to deal with this. Squeegee off the accumulated rain on the rear window before opening the trunk; use the rag to blot up any that gets into the trunk.With all the rain in California's Bay Area, I've had the same problem but with water running into the trunk when opened--not as bad as the snow! Just have to remember not to open the trunk in the rain.... I still love the car....
