Axle seal leak

what % of Model 3 owners are holding onto their cars for longer than 8yrs and 120k miles?... seriously...

Given the Model 3 has only been on the market for under 6 years... The answer is zero

After 8 years these cars will not disappear. Someone will buy them used, someone will still keep them.

Experiencing a leak from the rear axle area. It is dripping on the garage floor & is coating the rear area of the car. It is an oily film on the car & clear to slightly "pinkish" when collected on cardboard (left overnight) under the rear axle area. Contacted service, but 2 weeks out. Safe to drive??

No seals in the car for any rotating shafts do not rotate with the shafts. Most oil leak occurs between the oil seal and the housing, not between the rotating shaft and oil seal.
So, most oil leak will drip down due to gravity and towards the back due to vehicle moving.

Yes ours flung onto the back wheel well and side of the car
