Assuming that Tesla would never let a common issue make it into production seems counter to basically the entire history of the company.

- concordDance 3y agoFrom what I can see that's more or less standard for cars. E.g. Ford F150's user manual says: "Immediately remove fuel spillages, additive residuals, bird droppings, insect deposits and road tar." https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?variantid=9043&languageCode=en&countryCode=USA&Uid=G2195905&ProcUid=G2194034&userMarket=CAN&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False&buildtype=web https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/Own...
