MX Spoiler wing corrosion

[CharlieLab]

Not sure if anyone else in the Tesla community has seen this. After about a year the wing on the Model X started to corrode at the joint between the tail light and the metal. See the picture below. My MX is March.April 2017 build. The good news was that Telsa SC was fantastic and was about to secure a new spoiler quickly, paint and fit within a few weeks.

Wow, I haven't seen that before. Good to know.

Sometimes I hate this forum. Now I have to walk outside and check my spoiler and repeatedly do so until I see corrosion, make an appointment with the SC, bring it in, get it fixed, and then come back and post about having the same problem. Worse yet, if I don't see corrosion, I'm going to be doing this until I get a new car. That's just absurd.

PS: Glad they took care of you, thanks for sharing.

I have this problem on a May 2016 built X.
I also have corrosion on the driver's door frame.

Can I ask when this was discovered and where it was addressed by Tesla?

I had the same exact issue, but the sc here said it was from a wrap.. and refused to fix it. Bought my car used... and lucky me just wrapped it last week.

It’s pretty annoying but I guess only I see it. Still glad to have an active spoiler

When was your vehicle built?
I suspect this is a larger issue, but mostly unnoticed by most owners.

May I ask when and where it was repaired by Tesla?
Could you share your VIN or something they could look you up by?
I'm now getting pushback about the spoiler.
Thanks in advance!

I had the same issue on my 2016 X. Service acknowledged the issue but made no effort to resolve it. I've since traded it in for a 2017 so I guess we'll see if it happens again. Sure hope not.
