I go into the garage to take my glasses out of the car and noticed large amounts of steam/smoke leaking out of the bottom front under-shield of the car. And it has a faint to medium smell of melted rubber/plastic. The car was also making some strange water noise. Never experienced this before, its roughly 76 degrees in the garage. Is this a concern?

My Model X was smoking in the garage over the summer. After plastering a Surgeon General's warning on the wall, it stopped.

In all seriousness, @K-MTG, I really hope you figured out what was going on. That's disconcerting.

I took it for a drive and everything seemed fine, will monitor it while it charges at 10 PM (2 minutes from now). I told it that smoking will make you no different than an ICE, so it appears to be behaving now.
