Tesla Motors Club
Hi -
I just took delivery of my new Model Y LR yesterday - this is my first EV and honestly I have had zero prior experience with Tesla or any other EV. The car was charging using our newly installed home wall mounted charger... and my 7 year old opened the door and said that the car "pinched" her when she opened the rear passenger door. Sure enough, there was a mild electric charge when I touched the door frame. I discontinued the charging, and the current was no longer detectable on contact. My husband checked today while the car was charging, and the same thing happened. Is this common? It strikes me as rather unsafe and I have not seen any warnings or notices about this being an issue.
