Clear Water Leak Under Tesla Model 3 (AC Off)
Clear water leaking from under the car when the AC is off is unusual but typically not urgent. It could be condensation from the AC system that is still draining, or possibly rainwater trapped in the cowl or underbody. In rare cases, it might be coolant from the battery thermal management system, but coolant is usually colored (pink/orange).

What You Should Do
Check the fluid color and smell.
If it's clear and odorless, it's likely water.
Monitor the leak location and amount.
If it persists or changes color, inspect coolant reservoir level and look for pink/orange residue.
If coolant is low, do not drive and contact Tesla Service.
