Is the story untrue?

  it's certainly disingenuous!

    Perhaps to you, but not to me.

  What I’ve noticed (as a Tesla owner) is that the impression you get from reading things on the internet is completely different from the impression you get as an owner. I’m sure there are people with these issues: Tesla has sold enough cars for all sorts of low-probability events to happen (and I have my own share of annoyances with the car) but, overall, the car is the best car I’ve driven and my experience as an owner has been consistently better than the impression I get from the news stories about Teslas.

  Can you read the story and tell me how the car was damaged, exactly ?
  • VincentEvans 3y ago
    The battery was damaged by water according to the article. Is there a point to this exercise other than to frustrate me into not responding?

      They’re trying to say that HOW it was damaged by water is not specified. If Tesla batteries died from rain, there’d be a lot more complaints. So the implication is that this one was parked in a river or someone tried to ford with it.

        I see. The quotes from the owners of the vehicle describe rather bad, but not extraordinary bad weather. One of course can assume lying on behalf of the owners, but why wouldn’t one equally assume poor handling of a manufacturing issue on behalf of the servicer?

          Because I've never heard of a Tesla lose its battery to water. It doesn't make sense to me either - the article is implying that if you get a flash flood that gets to your knee level, you might lose your 70,000 pound vehicle.
