Stories of someone's cracked casting. Should we worry about this?

[E90alex]

This story started back in May and nothing since. Wonder why the OP has gone silent?

He didn’t post it on Twitter until like a week ago.

Presumably noticed it in May, didn’t get into service until July, service said it was fine and probably went back and forth a few times until he said F it I’m going to Twitter because service wouldn’t help any further.

Doesn’t mean that every car doesn’t have a crack…it’s not like you can crawl under a Tesla and take a look.

The location being discussed is easily accessible. It took me less than a minute to lift the plastic cover in the frunk.

And ?....are there cracks ?

There's a double negative in this sentence. Its more understandably to say "there may be cracks in every car".

In a similar application, motorcycle manufacturers have used large aluminum casted frames for years. My guess is Tesla's processes are of similar quality: and will be similarly crack-free: Frame

Yeah, even a little motorcycle frame has a lot of engineering behind it with these casting. Too much to know, I need another lifetime.
