Can we please speak about rodents inside Mannequin Y and Mannequin 3s

For the past 18 months I’ve had a Model 3 (Performance) with no rodent or nest issues in the car. About a month ago I had a bizarre problem where it looked like the outside of my wash tank had been chewed through. I paid $ 300 and got on with my life.

About 30 days ago I received my second Tesla, a Model Y LR. After a few weeks, I opened my glove box and noticed that all of the paper, including the plastic wrapper that the microfiber cloth was packed in, had been chewed through. Also noticed mouse droppings were in the glove compartment.

Then I opened the glove box in my Model 3 and, to my surprise, there were the same chewed papers in it, along with some feces.

THAT MEANS WAR

I went to my local hardware store and bought a variety of mechanical, sticky, and electronic traps. No poison. I don’t want a hole blocking the car when it dies.

I installed a couple of Nest Inside Cameras (with Nest Awareness) in the car overnight and noticed that they were coming from the lower ventilation area where the footwell is.

I drove my car back into my driveway at 8:00 a.m. today and opened all the doors, hatches and windows. I set the temperature to LO and let it get cold for hours. At around 3:30 p.m. the mouse comes out of hiding.

At this point, the mouse appears to be jumping out of the car but is difficult to confirm due to the angle of the other camera. I hope so.,

One thing to note: none of the traps caught the mouse. Neither the stickies nor the electronic zappers or the mechanical traps.

There is a theory that these things crawl into your car using the AC Vent inlets. I don’t think that’s the case. I changed the air filters on both cars and they don’t seem chewed through or damaged. You kind of get into the car and I don’t understand where it’s coming from
