    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.

        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.
