So I've noticed this morning that there is a potential design flaw with the model 3 trunk, in that after it rains and has water on in when you open the trunk virtually all that water slides off the trunk lid, and a large majority of it drops right into the trunk area inside the car...fun. It looks like there is a channel under the rear window intended to catch some of the runoff, but the water moves so fast it just skips this channel largely.
I expect this will only get worse in the winter when there is snow there. There seem to be 2 'basic' fixes:
- dont use the trunk
-clean the trunk off before each use
The first one is obviously not going to happen, and the last thing I want to do is use a snow brush 2-3x/day on the paint in the winter and put scratches all over it.
Curious if others are concerned about this?
A buddy also pointed out to me a similar 'flaw' with how the windows drop down a small amount when you open the doors. "When there is snow on the roof, isn't that just going to drop snow into the car?" he asked...I shrugged and thought I'll figure out a way to deal with that....I like the car to much to worry about this right now...but again, I'm curious what other's thoughts are.
