Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Why would cold water brick the truck?
You notice how the truck is silver? that's because it's made of stainless steel and it doesn't have a protective coat or paint on it, something that is expected to be on a car
Not cold water specifically--just water. The waterproofing on the electronics is uneven (especially on earlier models). It has a "car wash mode" (lol) that is supposed to lock all that down, but some Teslas have been bricked by just driving in the rain. Also, the water seems to rust the stainless steel body. As I've said before, it seems like it was engineered for California weather and they never considered that people might drive it in other climates.
They've only shipped 3800! They're all "earlier models"!
Fantastic point.
It's not water proof, so rain has a chance of frying some of the electronics.
let's be fair with Tesla, being impossible to drive in the rain has always been a problem for cars in general, as we all know
Gonna guess Elon lives in LA
