    Maybe that happens if you design a car like an iPod with a bunch of engineers living in California and Texas.

      TX and CA do get plenty of rain. In fact, TX gets hit with hurricanes all the time.

      It’s worse: they are not doing sufficient testing. This is why the larger manufacturers are passing Tesla by - they already have the standards and procedures in place.

        Not to mention the other companies don’t have a volatile man child solely responsible for decision making.

      Texas has plenty of rain and car washes. This is just bad overall design.

        True, and GM makes plenty of cars that rust at the drop of a hat. My old truck had its brake lines sandwiched between the bed and the frame, and they weren’t non-corrosive, so these things regularly fail if you don’t keep them dry.

        California has had it’s share of rain too
