Random Screw Appeared in Model Y

[Skjor_27Ato]

I need some help identifying a mystery screw that appeared out of nowhere. It’s a T30 Torx, with the threaded part measuring about 1 1/16" (27.5mm) long. I found it after opening the rear passenger door. I’m worried where it came from.

I’ve searched the car and even looked through the parts catalog, but I can’t find anything that matches. The Tesla parts search isn’t exactly user-friendly, so I might have missed something. The only reference I saw was in the high-voltage "penthouse" diagram, but it’s not clearly visible there.

Has anyone else had this happen or seen a similar screw in their Model Y? Any ideas where it might belong? I’m hoping it’s nothing critical, but I’d rather figure it out before something starts rattling or worse.

I guess you'll just know once something comes off LOL. But seriously, it's best to return it to the dealer for a thorough inspection.

Does it look new or used?

I’d recommend checking the door panel and surrounding areas closely. If nothing seems off, then is it off to Tesla service directly to be sure.

Do you have a picture of the screw?

Take a picture of the screw and use Google lens to identify. Might get something close to it. Or better bring it to the dealership to ID it properly.
