Just a reminder to ya'll that it's worthwhile to pop the frunk and remove that plastic trim that goes over the 12 volt battery every once in a while. There's a thread about this in the Model Y forums, but not in the Model 3 forum (at least, not that I found).
I bought my wife that fancy garage door opener do-dad. Installing it requires a Tesla mobile Tech and removal of the plastic shrouds in the frunk area. He found this... which the tech said was excessive for a car that has low miles and is driven around in a dry Northern California climate. (Car is 8 months old and has about 4,700 miles). That's the OEM battery from the factory.
Tesla Mobile techs aren't allowed to do a repair that wasn't on the original work order (and he had no spare 12v battery or replacement ground). So he just left it this way and Tesla Service will need to send someone back next week with a new battery. My guess is they'll replace and clean this up.
Serious 12v battery corrosion. Normal?
Back in August when I had a service appointment for the acoustic blanket we noticed some serious corrosion on the negative port of the 12v battery. The tech cleaned if off and said it was no big deal. Today I wanted to check again and it looks basically the same as back then. Is this normal?
