Even if the doors are sealed, isn't there other openings, like through AC systems? Something is not right here because people park cars for days/weeks at the airports all the times. In any case, I had a conversation with an X5 owner. He ordered a Model Y along with his X5. His X5 came first but because the market, he also took the Tesla to make quick bucks. I thought he got it to replace his X5 but it turned out not. He said the build quality wasn't quite there for him to accept over the X5..

Hmmmmmmmmm
Either this is "user error" and the owners screwed up bad and didn't notice they had trapped water in the car or a mfg defect.
I'd say it could be mfg defect on a new car but that would have to depend on the failure and proven unless I know the character of the person making the claims.
Like mentioned, if someone shampoo'd the rugs wet and then parked the car for a month, that's their problem and their fault and nobody else's. oooops stuff happens.
But, on an older car this kinda stuff happens, many roof leaks, etc reported in the forum on older cars as they age.
This will need a strong detail $$$.

That would probably kill me on contact after my history of mold damage lol!
If it were my car I would ditch the entire interior if I even dared to try and save it. Personally I don't think I would be able to risk it.....

I get that a lot of people hate Tesla but going through the effort to make crap up like this is just pathetic.
