Clear fluid leaking from M3

[paulvinh]

Today I noticed there was some clear fluids leaking from my M3 while trying out summon.

Is this happening to anyone else? I will call service center tomorrow morning.

Probably just water from the AC condenser......

Could it be condensation from the air conditioner?

You’re in the LA area, it’s summer, your AC is running.

Definitely dihydrogen monoxide.

The only time I didn't have AC condensation on the ground my drain hose was plugged, and I ended up with water on my passenger carpet...

On page 116 of the owners manual, "Maintenance Schedule"

• Look for abnormal fluid deposits underneath Model 3 that might indicate a leak. It is normal for a small pool of water to form (caused by the air conditioning system’s dehumidifying process).

Definitely dihydrogen monoxide.

LOL don't do that to the people here. I assume they are smart enough to know what you are talking about but you never know...

Most ICE cars have this “leak” from the rear of the vehicle, so it may be less noticeable in those.

That stuff is dangerous. Causes accelerated corrosion, suffocation, and below 32 degrees slippage.

And it's already in our bodies and oceans!

Consumed in quantity, it can kill. Breathe it in, it can kill

I bet one of your passengers got excited and this is just the by product. Reduce frequent launches and it should clear up on a couple of days. Come see me again in 3 Weeks if it happens again. We will have to give your car a prescription for hydro dihydrogen monoxide leaky disease. If you see any puss we have another issue and we will have to refer you to another specialist. Here are sixty tests you don’t need. Your copay today is $50.

Also don’t charge your car the night before the sixty fluid samples or it will throw off the test. Also don’t use any public supercharger until we figure this out. We don’t want you spreading it around.
