I am a model 3 owner with a Model Y on order.
Recently I read an article about the exposure of the rear hatch from minor rear end bumps. In the year I have had my Model 3 I have had three rear end bumps that fortunately resulted in minimal damage (slight scratches), but in all these cases the same impact would have significantly damaged the read hatch on a Model Y
At this point I am not sure I would accept delivery of a car where minor rear bumps would result in expensive body damage.
I am wondering if any owners have already experienced these problems and if there any aftermarket bumper add ons that might help to protect the card until and if Tesla decides to take this design flaw seriously.
