    This wasn’t everyday “Scotland levels of rainfalls” though, it was a specific storm that posed a risk to life in many areas.

    That said I still would expect my car to endure anything short of being submerged underwater.

      Southern California may be mostly dry, but has had several storms this year with inches of rain each. So even the"home" of Tesla needs to take that sort of weather into account.

        It’s 23 inches of rain (so far) in this case, so pretty exceptional and more than a few inches.

        Regardless, my point was that this isn’t just “another rainy day in Scotland”. The circumstances are exceptional even for stormy weather.
