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??!!
The second car here is a Tesla, and it still runs at the other side of the ford (but we don't know for how long). But I agree, driving through rain should not damage a car.
