Everybody knows water flows downhill. Living in wet Western Washington I might know the implications of this better than someone from a drier climate.
Still, I was surprised to discover that rainwater that beads on the rear glass tends to accelerate down the glass when opening the trunk and it shoots right inside (the trunk). Most cars have steeper rear glass and a wide gutter to catch this water and channel it to the ground. But the Model 3 just has a little blade type seal (in addition the thick rubber seal around the perimeter of the trunk). The thin blade seal acts like a ski jump for the water running down the rear glass and the water lands right on whatever is in the trunk.
I think this is a design flaw. Anyone else noticed this?
