That sucks! I live in AZ too and have a service appointment scheduled for Sept. What location told you to take a hike and why did you let them say no especially since you had one not tinted?

I just got mine windows tinted so hope they don’t claim the same BS excuse b/c mine appeared before my window tints.

This was at the Raintree location. I went back and forth with them for days (truck was here for almost 2 weeks because apparently they only have 1 technician able to work on CT). The woman who I communicated through wouldn’t budge and said since the photo I had was a day after the 1-week deadline, it wasn’t covered. Makes zero sense.

Mine has cracks too.

Its 100% clear from this picture you have a protective film left over on yours. That might not be the only problem, but in this picture its visible.

I checked again. Unfortunately, there is no protective film. How I wish they are just left over film!

It hard for me to get a good photo of it with details needed to show the crack.

Thanks for doublechecking. That is one hell of an optical illusion, it looks just like a film. Hopefully Tesla fixes it.

I have it on a small spot, driver door. Not really noticeable and doesn’t change any of the light output. But I’ll see what you guys have to say about it.

Same issue. based on previous led light installations it could be the glue coming off the led strip. doesn't affect the lighting at all just looks bad at certain angles during the day. not worth fixing if its going to happen again

not sure how difficult it would be to do either, we all know Tesla service center can make it worse than what it started with

Just saw this thread. I had the same thing happen to me and Tesla fixed as soon as they received the parts. It happened about 2 months ago. Tesla called it “bubbles have appeared in led lighting trim”. I haven’t had issues with the replacements at all.

Did you bring it in within the first 100 miles/7 days or was it after that? Did you have window tints?

I did have window tint. I just brought up during a service visit and asked them what it was. They said they’ve never seen that but would replace them.

This happened to me on one door and Tesla fixed it in my driveway during a home service appointment.

It was really quick. They will replace the entire panel above the armrest/window buttons not just the light strip.

Been noticing it on mine as well.

I just had all 4 door panels replaced on my Model 3 today. All windows are tinted and it was never brought up. Only problem was it took almost 2 months to get the parts in. Was told it's fairly common and they don't know why. Hopefully it doesn't happen in my CT.
