Is this the part where you tell us all that a zero emission motor means zero CO2 created over the lifetime of the car?
Nice try at your defection attempt.

So I was right. Thank you.
Good point. Like the "climate change is a hoax" propaganda?

fully immersed in faith..
of course they are.......you have to go to a gas station and pay for gasoline......as every smart lib'rul knows you get electricity free from the wall when you flick a switch......
Back in the day, we'd just let our horses feed off the grass next to the trail. No gas stations needed.

Well...I guess you are willing to ignore the strip mines of lithium, the sulfuric acid baths to purify lithium for shipping to China to make batteries, and shipping those back to EV manufacturers.
You know, all those tractors, trucks, ships, purification plants, manufacturing plants, all require energy to run.

Chanting. EVs use about twice as much energy to go the same mileage as gasoline cars of a similar size. The manufacturing of the batteries introduces toxic sulfate salts into the Earth (toxic to plants), strip mining techniques, and hauling ore and batteries around. You have to charge them. Typically this power is provided by coal and natural gas power plants.

I already know you don't maintain your car.
You don't wait for gas pumps because you wait for chargers.
I don't wait for gas pumps either. I just drive up and refuel.
Maintenance of an EV is NOT cheap!

What propaganda?

Maybe find a way to seal the battery compartment so water and moisture can't get in?
Because the issues all seem to center on the batteries.

Well, that would make sense, but Tesla uses some really redneck, afro, engineering methods to seal theirs. Basically, they use hand applied urethane caulk using a caulking gun. The bolts are not gasketed, and the whole thing is susceptible to water ingress.

Sounds like they should be using factory sealed battery packs with zero joints or seams.
How hard could that be?

Hard.
Tesla could start by using an actual GASKET on the battery pack with GASKETS on the bolts. Add STAINLESS STEEL bolts to that. Tesla just does shitty engineering on their cars. That's likely the number 1 reason their quality sucks so bad.

It doesn't catch fire, dumbo.
It doesn't run either, monarchist.

Well, according to the video you posted, the battery pack DOES have a rubber gasket all the way around it.
The washers on the bolts might be a problem as you suggested, though.
I still don't see why they can't come up with some method of sealing the lid onto the bottom tray of the pack with some type of fusion process, maybe a heat seal, that effectively makes the outer case a single piece, into which it is impossible for water to penetrate.
Probably has to do with production cost.
I would think that eventually that issue will get ironed out.
EV's are still in their early stage.
