BMW recently settled a water damage suit for hundreds of millions of dollars, they're not a startup

  A quick spurce tinred up this root cause: clogged sun roof drainage. Quite different from water running into the car in heavy rain or in a car wash. That being said, despite being leagues ahead of Tesla, or US brands in general, German premium car build quality is not what theor reputation would make people think.

    Agreed, the faulty drain design caused the issue. Similar to the BMW cupholders that couldn't get wet without damaging electrical parts. https://www.courthousenews.com/bmw-cupholders-not-designed-to-hold-cups-filled-with-liquid-according-to-class-action-lawsuit/ https://www.courthousenews.com/bmw-cupholders-not-designed-t... So again, do those faulty designs mean that BMW is a startup?

      The fact the Tesla isn't a start-up anymore makes it even worse. And yes, BMW having those issues is embarrasing as well.

        Oh I didn't realize you were a different poster hah, my mistake, apologies. We agree Tesla isn't a start-up anymore.
