| Description of the problem | Rear windshield gets distorted every time the defrost is turned on. Tesla has seen and noted the defect, stated this is normal on all tesla model 3 vehicles, and will not fix the problem. It is not normal as no other car i've ever driven in has this kind of distortion when using the defrost. I believe this should be registered as a safety recall asap. |
