This piece of plastic appeared at my feet the other day after an aggressive stop to help clean my brake rotors. I cannot seem to figure out where it came from. Any ideas?

Some other clues...
The markings say "f 14944 > PC-ABS < LH"
My kids are young adults, so they "rarely" carry toys around with them
I suspect that it is from under my seat, but I cannot see where.

Couldn't find exact part but according to LG Chemical LUPOY GP-5206F General Purpose PC/ABS Alloy, 20% Polymer Alloy, Weather Resistant, Flame Retardant
This material is described:
Among the characteristics of LUPOY polycarbonate resins are excellent mechanical properties, high heat resistance, high impact strength, and dimensional stability.
Applications:
Automotive: Automotive front ends, cluster pad main panel (instrument panel), lower cluster pad main, console box, glove box cover, door, wheel cover and cap, defroster grill, back mirror housing
Electrical and Electronic: Monitor housing, fax housing, notebook PC housing, cellular phone case, fax and copy machine frame, CD ROM drive tray and main frame, relay case, connector, switch
Industrial Parts and Household Appliance: Helmet, terminal box, electrical tool housing, industrial bobbin, distributing board box, power tool component, gears and cams, water meter housing

so look around those areas. Or just call Tesla.

Can't figure out the scale...how big is it? Whatever it is, it belongs on the driver side of the car. Call the service center and parts department and give them those #s...they'll let you know what it is
*EDIT* Seems that it is NOT this part (though it must be a brother from another mother).
That is the small piece of plastic that goes under the door handle on the interior. Sometimes they pop off if somebody catches their finger under it while opening the door from the inside. Started happening for me and even snapping it back in didn’t keep it in, Service eventually replaced it.

The piece is relatively large at 5" x 3.5". I have just discovered that it is from the outside of the B pillar (hidden normally by both doors). I still haven't figured out how it got inside the car. Maybe it was the Unicorn after all
I believe this is the result of computer design. Because in any given design software, certain shapes are easier to make then others. You can always tell the '90s Fords were designed on SGI systems because of the rounded rear windows.
