Water got into the battery. Well that sounds like it is squarely a fault of Tesla and its QC or R&D. Who tf builds a car, with a battery, doesn't make sure that the battery and all other major components are IP68 rated for "full immersion up to a meter or more for 30 minutes" ?
Its a CAR. We have Fords to cross. And some RAIN fscked it up??!!
It didn't get fucked up by rain. They drove it on heavily flooded roads, according to Scots from the area.
Myself and about 3 million other Tesla owners can attest that they are not perturbed by rain.
Well, it is a SUV. Why not?
Why not what?
