I have not seen this mentioned before so thought I would post about it. On my 2013 S the rear chrome trim piece the ends were lifting up and I asked my service center to re-glue them. I also told them that when the car sits out in the rain and I open the rear hatch, water pours out from the narrow gap around the handholds inside the rear hatch.
Has anyone else experienced that issue?
It turns out the water was entering where the rear trim piece ends had lifted up. Instead of re-gluing that piece, the service center replaced it with one of the new style trim pieces with the prominently raised "TESLA" lettering. I was surprised when I picked up my car to find it had been "updated".
End of trim piece coming unglued:
New trim:
