Clear fluid leaking from M3

That stuff is a major cause of sea level rising. Dangerous stuff.

So it is normal? I dont ever rememer seeing that for any of my other cars.

I’d be shocked if your other cars didn’t do this. Every car I’ve owned has done it.

Every car with AC, at least. To be fair, a Tesla can/will do it more given the right climate due to cabin overheat protection, preconditioning, and battery temp management.

Visual Guideline of what’s on my garage floor....


I know there has been some concern about wetness on the ground after your car has been sitting idle. So this thread is only to inform what potentially might be on the ground after you move your Tesla. If you really have a concern and this visual aid was not helpful...please call SC...or the Tesla service center.

1. The clear liquid is condensation from your air conditioner.

2. The red liquid in the far left corner of the image is hot sauce...kids as I have told you before, no eating tacos in the garage.

3. The brown liquid could be oil..hang on let me taste it....Oh! Low sodium soy sauce.

4. The yellow liquid, yes I know...but your cat is upset because it is not warm enough under your car anymore. Your return home after driving your non-combustible vehicle is not emitting enough heat for your cat.

5. The blue liquid..well that is just No. 2 blue food dye

6. The darker red liquid, it is blood that mixed in with the air conditioner condensation. Yeah! no more working on a combustible engine in my garage.

It's anthrax. RUN!

JK It's just water from the AC.

I found out that my front right macpherson strut is leaking oil. Has any one else seen this? I took my model 3 to Tesla service yesterday and they are looking at it. The receptionist said it may be damage from something you (meaning me) did. I did not have any accident or any damage to the car. Only a slight curb rash on both front and rear right wheels.

While unlikely, could be battery coolant. Another forum member actually reported something similar last week.

 

[compu85]

Battery coolant is blue.

This is just DHMO.

I put the car up on ramps and went under it and looked. It is indeed coming from the right front Macpherson strut and is oily. It is not water from air conditioning or battery fluid.

Summons mode is scary. I used to have a Cocker Spaniel do the same thing.
