    You said a car sold in the area should be able to drive in the area, I am using an exaggerated example to show how that’s not always the case. Heavy rain that had some type of warning in certain areas. If I hear a tornado is on the way I’m not going out for tacos. Where does the owners onus and common sense come in? Tornadoes aren’t abnormal to be seen across the states, but driving into one would be wholefully unwise.

    They are a premium brand? According to who?

      An exaggerated example isn’t good enough here given that the scale of the issue would change the scenario. It wasn’t a hurricane in the US it was raining in Scotland.

      Yes, Tesla is a premium brand given their market positioning and communications. Their first car was a super car, they have innovated and captured a market as a leader in a segment. Again your view isn’t important here, I actually can’t think of a brand of car that could argue that their cars are obviously not meant to be out in the rain.

      And also they didn’t drive it in the rain, they parked it and then it rained. It doesn’t say they were in a warning area just that there were warnings recently. It also doesn’t specify what type, flood or yellow rain which just to be cautious.

        A heavy rain that had warnings, not much difference there to a tornado warning at that point.

        So yes an exaggerated example that actually isn’t all the exaggerated actually fits perfectly to point out the folly in the logic.

        And what…? The article stated they drove in the rain, and there was heavy rainfall with warnings in other areas. And how could it get infiltrated by water if it wasn’t raining…? The article isn’t that long, read it.

        Edit, relevant bit, from the owner even……

        He reminded me there was a yellow weather warning in some parts of Scotland,” one of the owners told Edinburgh Live.

          There’s a huge difference between rain and a tornado. A yellow weather warning is to be cautious, there isn’t anything wrong with driving in a yellow weather warning and I’ve never heard of a car having issues after rain.

          That relevant bit becomes less relevant when it doesn’t say that there was a warning where they were or that the warning was to not drive…or that the warning was for a tornado.

          They drove, they parked, the went to dinner and the car wouldn’t start when they went back to the car. Jesus man can you read.
