Tesla Model 3 Rust

[GTA M3]

Is anyone else experiencing this rust right at the bottom of the driver's side A-pillar? Looks like a result of front fender panel touching the car structure and scratching off paint.

Look at mine and it does not seem to touch and all seems good. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and how common this is.

Yes. Mine hits/rubs on the drivers side.

Does it hit/rub all the time or only when you go over pothole or bump and the car flexes?

On my car the fender piece on the driver side was touching (passenger side fine). I bent it out a bit with my thumbs but it should probably be a bigger gap. Otherwise water can bead between the pieces instead of draining normally.

Driver side touching for me passenger side fine.

See recent thread: PSA: check for rust at this point

Mine is touching A pillar as well. Pretty widespread issue.

I wonder if this is something Tesla will fix under warranty.

Got my car 3 weeks ago. Found the same issue on mine. Pulled it to make gap and found out the surface wasn’t painted.

My M3 also has this issue. How did you guys fixed it? Should I bring my M3 to SC? TIA
