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.
Why would cold water brick the truck?

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
