white powder on the floor underneath of the model 3 parked

Hello,

I have noticed some white powder in my garage underneath where my model 3 parked, is this sth anyone else experienced? This is definitely from the car, it comes back after cleaning up.

Thanks

Well that explains why I can't find the cocaine I stashed in my car at that parking lot. Seems I stashed it in yours!

Interesting, but my other parking space with non-EV car doesnot have this issue.

Did you wash your car and drive it into your garage? If so it might be water collected in the rear bumper draining out.

Try swapping car parking spaces. See where the powder forms. My guess: It is efflorescence, and the ground under the first space is damper than the ground under the second space.

Could also be salty water drying out if driven where there's salt on the roads and it was the only car driven under those conditions...

Normal for concrete that had fresh water on it.

Thanks, it seems possible, drove it up a snow mountain for ski couple of weeks ago. There was indeed snow plow truck working on the road, it must have spread salts too. Initially I thought this is sth to do with batteries.

At least my model 3 is sober, I can't speak for yours though.

Cocaine!

This is the only possible path to a $35k Model 3.

Looks like your car is crying battery atoms.

All you have to do is cheer it up and the stains will go away.

Take it to a good auto spa....and it will be just fine.

Open your garage door. Who is that out front? Ah, LIVE PD.

The defrost uses the AC to dehumidify the air in the winter (also keeps the seals lubricated by running the compressor). Just like summer water can drain out of the HVAC unit and puddle under the car when shutting it down
