Drive unit damaged after driving in heavy rain -- SC won't cover under warranty

2015 Model S D85 Battery Warranty
I have 2015 S 85D. A couple of weeks ago I drove through torrential rain. It was really raining heavily - I could only drive at 25mph. I did not drive into a puddle, but there was a layer of water on roadway. I received "Car may not restart - service required message on MCU. I pulled into a gas...

Guess all those pictures showing off Tesla going through floods are voided.
Guess that language will be on the CT too?
Don't do what Rivian did then. Hahaha.
It's Funny that this many people responded to the person posting this thread and he hasn't responded yet...Makes me wonder if this complaint is even real....??
Yes the complaint is real. I was away from my computer the past couple of days, but really appreciate all of the input and advice in this thread.
While the issue is unfortunately still unresolved, my lawyer is continuing to demand a written explanation from the service center manager detailing why the damage isn’t covered under the warranty.
Additionally, I reached out to InsideEVs and the editor in chief responded right away and they’re going to be running a story about this. If you have experienced similar issues regarding either water damage to your drive unit or battery after driving through heavy rain or Tesla Service Centers not honoring the Battery and Drive Unit Warranty, feel free to reach out to me directly. I’ve already collected 4 other customer stories and more are welcome.

Have you considered a Rivian? I'd seriously consider one the next time I'm in the market for a vehicle.
We are starting to see more competition.
Also the Mercedes EQS is likely one of the most comfortable cars ever designed. It won't give you the Plaid gutpunch when you accelerate if that's important to you.
Can you please post same thing 10 more times?

This thread shows how far Tesla has come. Down that is....Back in 2014 they would have given you a new car, without asking.
Lol yeah 2015 car today is 2021 and they should give him new car

You can go through arbitration yourself fairly easily on warranty issues. See post #1 at Yellow screen? Force Tesla to Replace it! - I did this for my yellow screen and won. It's binding to Tesla but not you. Only took me a few hours total plus the "hearing" with an arbitrator and a Tesla lawyer on the phone. Really nothing to lose.

Wasn't me. But I do seem to recall something along those lines. It would be worth a search - but as I recall I thought that person (perhaps the OP) wanted to buy another Tesla and they refused, perhaps as retaliation for this post. But many, like me have used NCDS successfully. And also several also failed on the same case. Might come down to your arbitrator and how well you position was made. But I don't have details. In my case I just wanted to have the screen repaired under warranty and haven't attempted to purchase another new vehicle.

Actually it was the OP - see Tesla banned me from purchasing another Tesla after vehicle buyback. But he also went through a "buy back" process. I'd guess that's what PO'd Tesla, not necessarily the NCDS process or his post.
But again I'm just a casual observer. Other than my experience, I have no first hand knowledge. But I'd be surprised if Tesla would ban someone for simply losing an arbitration case. But who knows?

I had a 2018 Model S bought back. They couldn't fix crap on it. The head mechanic fought for me and the y bought it back. But I didn't want another Tesla, it was my second one, I showed them.....I bought a brand new model Audi Q8. It wa worse than my Tesla, LOL. I had to sue them for lemon law and as soon as I lawyered up Audi folded like a cheap suit. Got every penny back including the finance charges. My wife wanted another Model S and we bought this one right before production stopped and got 69K price. So far so good only new axels with 4000 miles. SMH
But they took my money..
