Condensation

[CharlieMY]

Newer model Y less than 2000 miles. While charging my Tesla sitting in the car with the seat heater on I noticed some (water?) coming out underneath. Is this normal condensation or something I need to worry about?

Probably normal. If you were charging, the car was likely running the heat pump to cool the battery and this created condensation.

Thank you

I had a similar issue when supercharging in cold weather. Steam (looked like smoke) coming out from the side of the car around the wheel wells. Scared the crap out of me. Ended up being condensation steaming off. Thankfully no big deal. Hopefully you'll be fine as well. Keep an eye on it.

Yeah it's normal. It puts off a ton of condensation in the summer here. Especially if I'm sitting parked with the AC on.

Yup, that's normal. All cars do this that have an A/C system. Some more than others.
