Need to know possible reason for this

[brookman]

I did a little spirited driving yesterday and after I parked I noticed this (in the picture). Do our cars radiators have overflow tanks? Does this look like it is leaking ? Is there something I can look at. It is only on the passenger side.

There is no picture in you post, but Tesla's do not have overflow form the coolant system (since it does not heat/boil like an ICE).
Are you seeing the condensation from the AC system?

 

[NoMoGas]

What color is the fluid? Blue = Get to service. Clear = Condensation

 

[demundus]

no pic attached, but the AC condenser is a little overzealous. the condensation on a model S is more than any car ive ever owned, and "leaks" long after the car is "off"

leak?

sorry, it is rusty, like a car that has never been flushed. I thought I had linked the picture.

That looks like it came from something on the road.

I thought that at first also, but there is nothing on the body right above the light.

That looks like it came from something on the road. It's even on painted surfaces in different directions, not on the ground.

could be old water that was trapped in the body work till your spirited driving.

There's no hose there to cause this. Clean it and your good.

Awesome! Thank you for your time!

Check this thread for more details. It has to do with an improperly coated bolt behind the front bumper that is starting to rust.

I have the same issue on both sides of my bumper.

Rust...anybody seen this?

Me thinks a squirrel got out of your spirited driving self just in time and slightly dehydrated.

Judging on where it came from, this is definitely blinker fluid. Better get it filled up, and go straight to the filling station because you have a limited number of turns left.

This is probably it
Op better fill it up, otherwise you’ll be stuck only being able to make left turns, hard to get home when your house is on the right.

Don't believe this OP, you can make like 4 left turns and still get to your house on the right.

brookman, not unique to your car. Saw it regularly on my P85. Haven't seen it on my 90D though.

 

[brookman]

It has been forever since I posted this, but since the bumper cover is off, you can see the source of the rust.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but three rights make a left.
