Telsa’s designers have weird history with water. I get the sense that they just don’t do a lot of proper testing in wet environments.
For example, it’s not uncommon for a lot of Teslas to actually grow mold in their air filtration system because they don’t properly drain water.

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
People forget California is pretty big. Northern counties get plenty of rain.
We also get a good bit of rain here in SoCal, hell sometimes the hills melt because of it.
