I’m going to need a really big bag of rice

imgur.comFeel so bad for you . Did you find a solution ?

After finishing and drying it stopped. I’ll have to submit a ticket.

It's gotta be related to some exposed wiring. If rain is in your forecast, you can always drop by a Service Center if you happen to live near one. They'll look at emergency situations.
Edit: I bet it's a door sensor! That rear door probably thinks it's being opened and closed from a short, which is causing the screen to power on and that window to slide down. Probably an easy fix!

Could be in the puddle lamp area. That connector is in the circuit for door open and it will drop the window when you disconnect it (model 3)

This is probably it. I replaced mine for the projector Tesla logo puddle lamps, and this happened while I was installing the new one, and had missed a wire causing a similar glitch. There must be a leak somewhere allowing it to go into, or around and down the door panel so water can reach the cables plugging into the puddle light

Appears it was a soapy one.

Washed a car.

Looks like Disco Mode to me.

Man I miss Chris Farley...

This title was excellent. Hilarious video and I’m so sorry but thank you so much for the laugh today 😂

You have to be careful with Tesla's so not to awake the gremlins. Do not expose the car to light, especially sunlight, which will kill it, do not let it come in contact with water, and above all, never feed it after midnight.
23
Why doesn't my Tesla multiply when I get it wet? I think I got a defective gremlin.
3
Yeah I’ve ONLY been feeding it after midnight and I still just have the one

Thanks to u/cf_z for pointing this out. This may be the potential issue!
Check the harness that goes from that door that is acting up and into the body side. If you open the front door and look behind the hinges of the back door (the one goofing up) you’ll see an oval rubber plug that should be totally flush with where it presses into the body. I bet you’ll find it crooked or not fully seated. Press it in tight, it will probably click into place. Try washing it again 👍

Problem solved. Enjoy the car!
7
Just put it in the dryer you should be fine
17
Microwave.
6
Wtf. Did water get inside the car?
8
No all windows were closed then the alarm goes off and then the door thinks it’s open and leaves the window cracked
16
Given the Y's history with windshield / roof glass installation i would not rule out water getting in. Especially considering the main screen was flashing randomly. May want to check behind the dash.
19
Wasnt Model Y supposed to be easier to produce with improved quality and bug fixes that Model 3 suffered from?
6
Yes, but it's also built by Tesla.
32
Yes but you have to actually build it right still.

Ah so the issue only happens when the door is closed? I’ve never seen that before. The only thing i can think happened is water got into the door electronics because of a manufacturing defect. But idk
2
I’m guessing so too. Water must have gotten into the seals somehow.
4
I’m sorry, that sucks. This should definitely be covered under warranty as there was no user error. What a pain. I know there’s been lots of defects with model Y’s so you’re not alone
4
Has it rained in your area after you got the car?
2
Maybe try washing it with the doors open next time?
2
Looks like a door sensor malfunction to me, shouldnt be a huge deal.
6
Main screen flashing too
8
when all doors are closed the car shuts down hence the screen flashing.
9
Check the puddle light at the bottom of the door. I bet it is loose. When I replaced mine the windows acted the same way.
5
I had a similar problem with my LRM3 in the front passenger side. A technician shared that occasionally a sensor may get tripped (in my case the infamous 12V battery needed replacement) and the windows need to be recalibrated. He went ahead and recalibrated all 4 even though I only had issues with the one. But it looked just like what you are experiencing it would close and open and if I forced closed it from inside the car or from the app it would open again.
4
Thanks, hopefully it’s an easy fix.
1
This worries me about build quality.
4
Could just be a bad 12v battery you got.
3
I don’t think so as it happened when I applied water to it
2
Did you feed it after midnight?
14
oh shit
9
LOL
1
No charging after midnight!
But it's midnight somewhere always...
SHUT UP, IT'S A REGIONAL RULE!
1
Oh man, that's cute! Y trying to dance like big bro X. But really, that sux.
3
Aftermarket door puddle light?
3
Car is stock with 1000 miles
4
I see. My guess is a bad connector or water mixing in
1
Have you recalibrated the windows?

This is why I’ll wait a year after Giga Berlin opens before ordering one.
2
But why does the screen flicker quickly and strangely? Seems like The Whole thing is shorting out.
2
My thoughts exactly, must be an exposed wire somewhere and water is getting to it due to poor seals.
1
Yeah, does this cause permanent damage anyone that knows about electronics? I know it usually just starts working again when dry but curious.
1
Unless it's bridging a HV connection to a LV connection it should be fine.
3
That sucks and it's just from a hand wash too
I've taken my month old 3 twice to the local wash tunnel and zero issues
2
Danny Duncan cut the roof off of his and drove it through a car wash and it still worked.
2
First wash of my MY and this happens. This happen to anyone else?
I was washing the car then The alarm goes off. The car then thinks the door is open and leaves the window cracked open. When trying to close the door this happens. Performed many resets.
I had that happened to me on the rear passenger door, it was because the cable cover at the bottom of the b pillar when you open the door was loose and water got in for a while.. the cables were corroded and that triggered the short and made this disco party all the time...
Tesla fixed it quickly over a weekend.
Yeah, no doubt tesla will fix it, but a hassle im sure to have to go through it!
Seals might be bad, water got in from a few places looks like; probably the front too if the MCU flickers.
