Not too common here in Los Angeles but still a valid question. When a lightning storm hits and we are advised to unplug electronic equipment such as phones, TVs and computers.

So you are out of town and a bolt hits your power pole while your EV is plugged in. Does you car fry inside?

The HPC may have a surge suppressor but would it be enough? And if you are on an MC 120 or MC 240 then is it toast?

What about aftermarket products?

"Acts of God" and specifically lightning is not not covered under warranty on the Roadster.
