Scottish couple facing $33k repair bill after driving Tesla in heavy rain::undefined
I think it’s important to mention that this isn’t an issue EVs have but an issue Teslas in particular have. They seem to have a really bad build quality from what I hear.
It’s the remote workers.
Battery was installed over zoom and the call dropped before the insulation part
an issue Teslas in particular have
I suppose you have evidence of this “issue” with Teslas?
The article this entire post is about…
This post is about a single vehicle that was most likely driven in deep water, but even if it wasn’t, is not indicative of an “issue Teslas have”.
Muskrats: “Why would anyone think they can drive in the rain?”
I don’t even believe the story happened.
Got any more sources target than carexpert.com.au lmao
Edinburghlive is a shit rag BTW. It’s a clickbait farming site, always has been be careful with trusting it.
Are you well regarded in your community? Because you are certainly regarded here.

One of the most important things when buying a used EV is checking the base of the car for any punctures. One could happen due a plethora of reasons.
Combine a puncture with driving in heavy rain/puddles and water damage may occur.
I hate Musk and wouldn’t buy Tesla ever, but this isn’t necessarily just because of the shoddy quality control they have.
This is why I will never buy a new car, or an electric car. My celica is the best car, and everyone should get one, like mines. Celicas are waaaaaay better than those pieces of shit electric cars. Oh what’s that? Your electric car roof is leaking even though it’s way newer than my car? Mines doesn’t leak tho. AND! And my car is used so it is less harmful to the environment than a new crummy plastic electric car
This sounds like confirmation bias. I’ve never heard of electric car roof leaking I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve had a 2018 Honda clarity for 5 years now and have had to spend virtually no money in maintenance. Best car I’ve ever owned for long drives especially.
You bought your car new, so you’re just as bad as the others. Why did you need a new car? Why couldn’t you buy a used car?
Where do you think used cars come from?
I don’t get why the service centre isn’t covering it in warranty, given the car should be able to handle rain (or even driving through floodwater) just fine and many Teslas do just that, including the many currently in Scotland. Clearly there was a fault that allowed water ingress to the battery… eventually it would have failed anyway, just in normal weather.
Tesla customer service seems to be based on deflection, rather than responsibility.
The number keeps going up every time I see someone post about it lol
This article had more info than the last one I saw floating through the feed (The article I saw had been “enhanced” by AI writing and you could tell).
In this article “A couple from Edinburgh was shocked after receiving a £17,374 (A$33,370) bill”
The last article floating through the feed didn’t really cover any real ponts about what happened and seemed to be targeting Elon in a negative scope.
This article had information about the issue they faced when attempting to leave and waiting 5~ hours for Tesla RSA. Then calling Tesla and talking to a manager that that was covering Tesla’s ass with warranty talk.
