I sincerely hope the Tesla team views TMC and the countless threads here regarding paint quality. trim fitment, rattles, etc....

I lost a aero cover a month ago driving through a rain puddle. Thankfully, only $25

The car in question was bought used in March of 2019 per the article the YouTube video links to. This just happened, but it's an older Model 3 that didn't have this issue addressed yet.

I was gonna say "Within spec."
Or as my father used to say, "It's supposed to do that. If it stops, let us know."

$100 assessment fee to have it checked over?

I didn't even consider this as an option of something that could go wrong.. wow!

It looks to me like they went though some fairly deep standing water at a pretty good speed.

That's what I thought.

The car is lighter now. May give it better range

It didn't fall off, it's still attached on one side.
