My wife called me this morning, car reports 'Safety restraint system fault'. Had her open the service menu and this came up. A couple of months ago my other Tesla had rodent damage, thankfully it was a company car. This one is isn't... She just left home and i had her turn around. Told her safety and possible cooling issues is not something she should be driving with. What do you guys think? Rodent damage? There's a marten using my driveway as his daily path to cross the neighborhood. I tried the usual devices, he wasn't impressed. At first it was cute, but i'm starting to dislike him now. Tesla Model 3 LR 2019.

Don’t want to put a damper on your day but it’s quite likely

Erg vervelend en amper te voorkomen, succes er mee. Wat had hij de vorige keer geknaagd?

I'm hoping it's something small like this and i can just bring out the solder iron, but given the location of the errors the entire bumper will probably need to come off.

At least it’s very minor and you found it.

This was the previous incident. Will keep you updated if i find what's wrong this time.

Ah. In a way it’s better if it’s very obvious than some more hard to find electrical fault. But Tesla are generally reliable. Are you allowed to eliminate the pest ?

No it’s protected. Will try electric pads around the front shock absorbers. If that fails i’m trapping it and releasing it somewhere else.
