Debris blown into car?!?

[Physicslawyer]

Well, my first MYP had no weird issues. My current one is down to 280 miles of range in 6k miles (with me doing my best to limit supercharging, charging to at most 70% daily, etc) and has an issue I have not encountered in a car before. I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else.

When a truck or large vehicle drives by, I will feel a breeze, even with the windows shut. I'm not sure where it is coming from.

On Saturday, there was a big thunderstorm that knocked down trees all over the place. The Tesla had debris on the driver's seat, that looked like dirt. The outside of the car had little twigs, etc.

I'm assuming the "breeze" when large vehicles drive by and the debris inside the car are related. Has this happened to anyone?

(My other MYP, I supercharged exclusively for 16k miles, charged it to 90% daily, twice a week to 100%, and put 1k miles a week on it, with no issues and limited degradation, go figure)

It’s almost as if the great majority of “battery health” advice on this forum is meaningless folklore.

Only degradation you will experience is your own quality of life degradation if you are so focused on the max range indicated on the screen.

Are these issues related; the draft and the battery charging regime?

My car had a weird omission of the little plastic duct from the HEPA filter to the firewall - there was nothing connecting the HEPA filter to the actual HVAC system. Maybe yours is missing that as well, so fresh air can push into the vents 100% without restriction?

If you're willing to pop out a few 10mm bolts and remove the frunk, you could check pretty quickly.

Consider washing the car with a hose (doesn’t need to be a jet) focusing on edges and seams to see if you possibly have a weak gasket door seal or gap. Would be even better if someone could sit on the inside to notice spots of penetration. Just an option.
