Missing plastic cover on windshield wiper nut

[pogi]

I am 3 weeks and 1700 miles into my MY. I just now noticed that one of the plastic pieces covering the nut and bolt on the windshield wiper is missing. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for this? I tried going thru the Tesla app but it wants to send me mobile service. I feel silly having some come over just for a small plastic piece, and I don't even know if I'll have to pay for the mobile service.

I think you can send a picture using the Tesla App and the SC should be able to order it and pick it at the SC when available.

When I bring my car to get the HW3, the person before me was picking up a rear quarter windows to fix himself.

Mine was missing too and I have seen many others. I identified at delivery and they replaced it during my first service visit:

Don't feel silly about something Tesla missed. They will fix it for you and you need to be whole for the stuff you paid for, just send in a Service request through the app.

What's silly is that Tesla missed that cover during final inspection.

Jump on the app, open a service ticket, and attach that pic. They'll most likely send out a mobile tech. Easy-peasy.

My car was missing the same piece on delivery day. I mentioned it to them and they put a new one on. Silly stuff.

Thanks to this post, I checked mine and sure enough it’s missing. Same side - driver side.

I live close to my SC so plan to drop by and ask them for the piece.

Stopped by my SC yesterday without an appointment. Told the advisor I was missing the nut cover and he scheduled / completed a service appointment right there and gave me the nut cover. I popped it on in the parking lot before leaving.

He told me he recorded the service appointment so Tesla knows my vehicle didn’t come with one. Also told me recently HQ had a meeting with all service centers telling them they need to log appointments so they know what was wrong or missing with new vehicle deliveries.

You mean mother Tesla doesn't know this info NOW? That's just NUT's.

Just found out mine didnt have this either (4/15/2021 birthday). Noticed it when the tech was out putting homelink in my car. Sounds like its very common. Maybe unnoticed because its hard to see with the hood closed, unlike the one on the other arm which is clearly visible
