Yeah, my Model 3 got that after the first few months of having it. They flushed the system and replaced the filter (which miffed me a bit because it’s a known issue and yet they still charged me for it). Never came back in my case through, so I wonder why yours is returning?
As I previously said, my guess it’s the 51st day of 2023. That gives you an exact day of production rather than just a month.
Did you ever figure this out? Wife is saying the same thing about ours.From day one I’ve had an odd odor when I first get into the car (no, even after showering). The odor goes away within a minute after the AC or heating goes on. So mine is almost the opposite of what’s discussed here. I haven’t been able to figure out what’s causing it.
Never did. My prevailing theory is it’s got something to do with the cabin filter. I’m not sure if sitting in the Arizona sun for a period of time could somehow impact the cabin filter. It was the #1 reason I thought I’d go for the annual service, but they actually talked me out of it, saying it wasn’t really necessary with the mileage I had at the time. Interestingly my wife has never noticed it and to prevent any bias on her part I’ve never brought it up.
We have 1700 miles, the car sat somewhere for 10 months before we bought it. I have not noticed it but the wife and daughter has gotten in and have asked “why does it smell like poop?”
turn the air on and all is fine….
