    Do people read this headline and believe that this is a design flaw? That of all Teslas sold and driven anywhere in the entire world since they were first sold, none have ever been in rain?

    There was major flooding around where this Tesla was. Idiots obviously drove it in flood water or it got submerged while parked. This is an insurance problem, not a click bait “herrrr derrrr Elon so stupid” problem.

    And if they are stupid enough to not have had insurance on a brand new car, this is a “point and laugh at the idiot crying to the press” problem

      There are Teslas fucking everywhere in and near Seattle. If rain was a problem for the cars then there would be zero here, instead they’re like every tenth car.

      While probably true, Teslas build quality is very questionable. It was probably a little of column A, a bit of column B.
