That's one's been flagged for some unknown reason. :(

Yeah probably because the whole situation is sus as hell.

If the moisture ingress is defective manufacturing, Tesla warranty would cover it. If the cause is the external environment then auto insurance should cover it. That's not to say that this would happen without someone having to argue with someone, but the fact that this obvious information is missing is a little bit too uncomfortably familiar in this style of journalism.

Without additional information, my Occam's razor says the owner of this car probably did something irresponsible. So long as this report keeps growing like a tall tale, I'm going to keep flagging it.
