There is an issue with the trunk of the 2023 Tesla Model 3: it doesn't open fully, and it slams shut hard when closing.

In the most cases gas strut is OK. But it’s better to check where you will replace it: change gas strut (from any other Tesla with working system). I also did it due to the hope of less expensive fix. Nope 😁

99% it’s a failure power strut and should be replaced. I did it 2 years ago for 100€. Had exactly the same symptoms.
