thank you. I udnerstand that it can happen but what is totally unacceptable is that the mice is INSIDE the passenger cabin.

Yep, parked outside. Got the car in March, so this is the first time it's really cooling down. We do have a greenbelt behind us, but our driveway is paved. Added a bait box in the glove box and dryer sheets in trunk/frunk. Gonna think about outdoor solutions too. I'm considering parking the car on the street now. Did that with last car and never had an issue.
Thanks. Grabbed one.Model 3 Air Intake Vent Cover
if they don't ship to CAN, amazon US has a few options by searching "model 3 inlet cover" or "air intake grille"
So the inlet grill cover didn't stop them?so since cleaning out the car and having my car electronics and hvac checked by Tesla
I've caught two mouse in the glovebox! Today I found one and last week I found one too.
I'm at a lost what to do
Not recommending; just suggesting something of this nature. There are other brands. That's what I used. Got mine on amazonare you recommending that specific one or something similar?
If you are saying use that one please share a link.
Thank you!
lolI just came here to share my similar experience, except with my Model Y. We have no clue how the mouse is getting in. We've set traps all over for days. the only thing that scared it out of wherever it is residing was the car wash. It may have jumped out of the car at the vacuums at that point. I've scoured the internet trying to find mice infiltrating the CAB of regular vehicles and im just not seeing it. Honestly f**k this car. We're trading it in.
uhhh you know this happens to every car right?I just came here to share my similar experience, except with my Model Y. We have no clue how the mouse is getting in.

I declined getting the parts replaced (glovebox, knee airbag trim, passenger center console side trim). It would have been like $2k parts and labor but they did some $20 heat trace testing to see if anything electrical was damaged. I'm not sure how reliant that is but they did the test and said "passed with flying colors".
Also, got the car upgraded to AP3.0. Picking it up later.
uhhh you know that the main issue is that the mice are getting INSIDE the cabin.
Yes it can happen to other cars but they are most likely not inside the CABIN
Also, our house is pretty far from the woods.
Positive note is I haven't seen any activity for a little while (fingers crossed)
I left my used cat litter outside around the car for about a month. Maybe the stench go all up in there and scared them away for good!
@Ryan.Sterling wow sorry to hear man. This totally sucks it's happening on the Y too.
We still have our S and 3. But I'll be ready for a new EV maker when they are ready. Ford F150 EV?
@TSLA Pilot I'd rather not pay my deductible. I haven't had a claim for a decade plus and want to keep it that way. It's just insulation. When I have the time I'll take my dash apart and replace parts a needed. Based on my research it seems to be mostly the glovebox back. That has a lot of insulation I bet the mice ate.
