Tesla Owner Shocked by $20,000 Rain-Damaged Battery Bill

A Tesla owner in Scotland received a bill of £17,374 ($21,000) to fix his electric vehicle after the battery was damaged by rain. The owners were shocked by the hefty bill and questioned why the eight-year warranty didn't cover the damage. This incident follows a similar case in Canada where a Tesla owner was quoted $26,000 for a replacement battery. EV batteries can deteriorate at different rates depending on charging habits and environmental factors. Tesla Europe has not yet commented on the matter.
