Can anyone check your MY and let me know if this is normal? I found two holes under the body right behind the front tire wells, seems like holes for bolts (see pictures below). I'm wondering whether Tesla decided to remove them during development for cost/weight reduction, or missed putting them just for my car.

Missing bolts?

M3 had that problem in the rear. Year old video of Bjorn Nyland shows it in the shop for that reason. They just got loose and fell off.
It's on the bottom of the body so I couldn't see directly with my eyes. Based on the picture I agree there seems to be some adhesive. Hard to tell about the thread. My guess is that Tesla decided during development that single bolt with adhesive was enough, so got rid of the additional bolt without removing the hole. Hopefully other owners can confirm if that's the case (whether all MY has these holes without bolts).

SC guy said "yeh - bolt or clip probably missing" car is still with them .. get it back in a few more days .. will update on what they actually do about it (if anything).
Got a confirmation from SC today.
"Compared to similar vehicle and found that there are no clips or bolts in that the section of the wheel arch liner"
Also talked to a guy at SC. According to him, it is normal for early models to have multiple holes that end up not being used.
