Water found in passenger front footwell on 2021 Model Y

[Anish3232]

Any update on this? I got a mobile service coming up for something else and my passenger side has been leaking for the past 2 days. It’s only 2 weeks old. Do you think the mobile service could fix it?

Service center is 90 plus mins away

From the app you can send a message to the service team using your existing service appointment. They will most likely be able to at least take a look while they visit for mobile service.

Yes I sent them a picture of the issue. Hopefully mobile service can look at it when they come. I dislocated my ankle so I’m super out of commission. Do you think they should replace the carpet etc that’s getting wet?

Do you remember using bioweapon or any other fan mode during this acceleration during the rain?

yes the heater was on, fan speed 2. not bioweapon.

last couple of days was raining frequently, wasn't raining when the water splatted out.

just tested again. doesn't matter if the fan is on or off. water comes out under hard acceleration

Check the filter housing and/or make a service appt. in the app.

not sure where to check the filer housing but i did make a service appt. 1 month 1st avail appt.
i did remove the plastic cover in the footwell but cant see anything useful there, to me at least.

There is a fix and they should be aware of this issue. It’s the hepa filters in the frunk. The enclosure isn’t closing properly. I haven’t had a chance to take mine in yet. But here is a service ticker from someone with the same issue.

Well I finally got around to getting this fixed at my service center today after the issue occurred again.
Attached is my work order.

 

[Mike_TV]

Still not clear what the root cause of this is. Is it...

1) HEPA filter housing has a seam that leaks and needs to be repaired or sealed to prevent water ingress?

or

2) HEPA filter housing was installed incorrectly that allows water ingress?

 

[plasmo]

Well I spoke too soon and after my Service appointment last week stating that they fixed the water problem, it rained today and it’s still dripping water.

2nd time bringing my vehicle to fix persistent water leak. Not sure what they did differently this time but hopefully this fixed it as they took 2 days to fix this.

Sorry to bring an old thread alive. Plasmo, just wondering if the problem has been fixed on your second try. I have the same problem again this summer even though the service centre claimed they had it fixed last year. Luckily the summer doesn't last that long in Toronto.

If it's a summer-only problem, check your evaporator condensation line. I suspect it's clogged (or disconnected).

 

[megurogawa]

Thanks for the suggestion but I think it's not related to the condensation line since it happens only after heavy rainfall. I'd been blasting the A/C non-stop for a few weeks already and don't see any water leaking until it rained heavily for the past two days. Also no water leak found after touchless car washes.

The Tesla Model Y does not have a condenser drain line hose. The evaporator coil condensate drains directly from a hole or holes in the bottom of the compartment that houses the evaporator coil and the cabin air filters.

I have this issue with my 23 MYLR again, water came out under the glovebox under hard acceleration. Service said they couldn't find anything the first time.
