    Where did anyone mention a tornado? The specific reference to the weather was “not abnormal for this locality” and the Tesla rep said it was because it had been driven in the rain.

    Your view of if its cheap or not doesn’t get them out of being a premium brand, there is an expectation of quality associated with the price point and branding. Namely that rain won’t render it useless until you spend 20k.

      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?
