Towel inside the car??

[ATXcharged]

The back trunk lining was coming loose on my M3. As I went to tuck it back under the rubber I looked inside to see the amp and subwoofer - but then I also saw a small yellow towel packed inside yet space. Confused, I opened the lining on the other side and saw a yellow towel stuffed in that side as well! My guess is the towel was there to protect the subwoofers when the car was built or for delivery but they forgot to take them out?? Anyone ever heard of this? With all the wires in there I would imagine this could be a fire hazard so wanted to post about it in case others may have this issue. Attached photos of it.

It’s part of the gift to those that placed early reservations. Free towels! (Just gotta hunt for them)

They are part of Elon's new "Easter Eggs."

Some speakers are built with insulation behind the cones. Perhaps this towel is intentional to smooth out the bass response.

I feel cheated I didn't get my free towels. /s

And it's not a fire hazard.

How do you know it’s not a fire hazard? Sure looks like it could be to me, towel exposed to wires, I’m not a fire inspector but that sure looks like it could be dangerous.

And it's not a fire hazard.

It does increase the weight though

Be removing those towels you just voided you warranty.

T-minus 3... 2... 1... before other owners demand 2 free towels from Tesla.

I am asking Elon to refund me $4.21 for the towels.

You have to give up the trunk lining to get a refund.
Q. Are these the optional performance towels?

 

[Got-EMF]

Or maybe they are there to absorb moisture drips or runs that might otherwise damage something. At the very least they contribute a small amount to acoustic control. I suggest you disconnect your seat heaters if you are so worried about fire hazards.

I think they were included to help combat the symptoms of range anxiety.
