Red Droplets

[JimVision]

I'm a new owner of a 2017 Tesla Model S 75D with an all glass roof.

I noticed, after it rains or when I wash the car (by hand), that some of the water beads are red. It's beautiful!

It does this outside, or in my garage with the garage lights on. The above photo has not been altered.

What causes this? Is this the life blood of my Tesla? ;-) I've never seen this on any other car I've owned.

Just curious.

Cheers

Jim

Total guess: side effect of the infrared/ heat reflective treatment used to keep interior cool(er).

The red drops symbolize the sacrifices of the hard-working Tesla engineers.

It is the UV protection. I have it on my MX.

Never seen it on mine. Cool looking!
