Magnet for center console glove box?

[Greeney]

Tesla just replaced my center console due to the sliding mechanism failing…

This said I’ve clearly received a newer part number than what had originally came on my car. I noticed the cup holders have little rubber nubs in them now.

I did notice though there seems to be a lack of magnets holding the glove box down. Is this consistent with newer builds or is the new console an issue?

I have a very new build, and would be happy to check, but I have no idea what you mean by “holding the glove box down“.

There was resistance from the magnets holding the center console arm rest down previously. Now there’s nothing but some soft rubber.

My 4/25/22 build does have slight magnetic resistance when opening.

My March build has the updated cup holders and the magnets.

Although I mentioned on a thread that when I added an insert to mine that increased the gap SLIGHTLY, the magnets no longer worked and someone else mentioned they did not have that issue... So I wonder if they decreased the magnet strength or # of magnets at some point?

That’s what I’m trying to figure out… I put in a service ticket just in case, but we shall see.

At least the lights work the way they’re supposed to.
