Model Y rodent damage?

This can happen to any car. I had a Ford Explorer many years ago and one day I opened the hood and.....I found little feet marks on the engine shroud. Mice (or rats). I parked my car just outside the garage, which was near a fruit tree (orange tree), which naturally attracted rodents. Thankfully, no issues after that.

I know of someone who also had some rodent damage (chewed wiring). He, too, parked his car outside near an area which had fruit trees. They are attracted to a warm engine at night.
Mice chewed up the wiring harness of my garaged BMW and chewed into the climate control air ducts as well, cost to repair was over $500.
