That's one's been flagged for some unknown reason. :(

  Yeah probably because the whole situation is sus as hell. If the moisture ingress is defective manufacturing, Tesla warranty would cover it. If the cause is the external environment then auto insurance should cover it. That's not to say that this would happen without someone having to argue with someone, but the fact that this obvious information is missing is a little bit too uncomfortably familiar in this style of journalism. Without additional information, my Occam's razor says the owner of this car probably did something irresponsible. So long as this report keeps growing like a tall tale, I'm going to keep flagging it.

    > If the moisture ingress is defective manufacturing, Tesla warranty would cover it. People have reported problems with Apple for the same kind of thing though. Water sensors being tripped without their devices having gone into water. From the article, it sounds like Tesla's might not be designed or manufactured well enough to withstand Scottish weather.

    Yeah. Water could definitely not find a way in through teslas known to be extremely shoddy QA. Dodge has an issue with the caravan where the rear ac lines and evaporator are completely unprotected. It’s a known bad design in the product that has costed drivers millions. Dodge refuses to acknowledge it to the point that mechanics offer a “rear evaporator delete”, which dodge will also refuse is possible if you ask them. Does your Occam’s razor wonder why dodge refuses to cover the AC lines? It’s not like the auto industry as a whole is know for their outstanding honour of warranty, let alone Tesla who’s known for treating customers terribly and having uniquely terrible QA.

    I have a model 3 and found a few things wrong (some my own fault even) and Tesla fixed everything without charging me. They are just like any other company, depends who you get and how nice you are to them. At least they are not insurance which will fight tooth and nail to rip you off.

      Does it happened recently or few years ago?
