My Tesla Model 3 LR has 2,270 miles on it, bought it new in December. It has never been out of my possession except to go to a very reputable detailer (wrapped in PPF) and today, when it went to a local tire place to have a screw removed/patched. I asked them if they had jack pads/knew how to lift a Tesla and they said they do it all the time (I believed them, I've seen a few Teslas in their parking lot before). When I got home, I decided to inspect the underside of the car and noticed something hanging. This ended up being a black piece of tape that I pulled off. However, this piece of tape was hanging out of (what appears to be) a cracked section of the rear plastic shield/belly pan. The tire that needed to be removed/patched was the passenger rear and I know from watching the bay camera (only showed the front half of my car) that the front of my Tesla wasn't jacked up. Do you think the tire place tried to lift my car from this middle section? I'm assuming this shouldn't be cracked and a piece of tape shouldn't be hanging from inside this hole? Anything to worry about here? Including the black tape too... seems like nylon tape? Maybe it was wrapped around a hose? No idea.
