This puts a whole new meaning to hydro-electricity.
There’s been some pretty severe weather in various parts of Europe so far this winter, wind and continued rain. Nothing exceptional apart from in MSM headlines. What’s different this year is the number of renewable power generation sites.
Are there any reports of damage, flooded solar that sort of thing? I haven’t seen any but it must have happened.

Perhaps they should build a wheatstone bridge to measure the resistance of the currents 😉
I was always taught that… ‘Electric currents are grown in magnetic fields’
Anyway it’s not water, the electrolyte leaked from the Tesla battery.

I heard presidential candidate Bernie Sanders say the other day that he would build 500,000 new electric car charging stations if he is elected.
I guess Bernie doesn’t think electric cars are a viable enough industry to build their own charging stations. He may be correct.

MY brother-in-law has a large mitsubishi SUV which is a hybrid. Admittedly there has been a lot of rain in the UKbut all he did was drive through a very large puddle and now the vehicle is stuck in tortoise mode. He cannot switch it to purely petrol/gasoline and now has to take it back to the manufacturers.
Not a great advert for them
If you had done the same thing in a Land Rover the engine would have cut out if you hadn’t replaced all the Lucas electrics with something that actually works. I know from experience.

Warning!
Always ensure your charging port is clean and dry before inserting plug to avoid the risk of electric shock while charging.

Old real estate saying:
“Location, location, location”
Share pushing in the mining industry is famous for promoting holes in the ground with nothing in them ,one has to look behind and see who’s doing the pushing and based on watt.
Third quarter 143 million net income. End of year looking strong too. Maybe he has turned things around. The Tesla 3 is certainly a wonderful car, so who knows?
Oh dear 0-80% charge on a fast charger in 25 minutes. Range is 322 miles. Unless you are doing long distances a lot it is not an issue. Cheap to run too. Full charge about $4 at a charging station. And they are sooo much fun to drive, that’s without enjoying the tech inside. And they are only going to get better and cheaper. Hey but you stay with your IC engine, but wear gloves to protect the skin on your knuckles.
In case you hadent noticed that’s UK prices, Tesla recommend a 0.6amp/hr charge because it’s kinda to the batteries, there not affordable for normal people,but that’s the point right,only the wealthy can afford one and replace the batts , I wont be buying one I dont know any one who will.

Your comparison with gasoline prices fails to take into account that most of the fuel cost is taxes, ostensibly for building and maintaining roads. If the same tax structure for automotive fuel was imposed on electric vehicles, one would be paying substantially more than $4 for a charge! That is nothing to crow about.
Do you really expect a 322-mile range in the Winter?
net profit for 2019 (first 3 quarters so far:) -967.47M already takes into account that 3rd quarter number. It’s going to be another year of losses ( do you honestly think Tesla is going to pull nearly a billion in profit out of the hat in the 4th quarter? if so, I have this bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in purchasing, that is if you haven’t already given the Nigerian princes all your spare cash). And that isn’t the only quarter Tesla posted a quarterly profit (it’s happened twice before that I can recall). Musk accounting gimmicks occasionally give him a good quarter, but the yearly profits remain the same story – red ink as far as the eye can see.
The car is not capable of operation much below 0 C what telling is Tesla has no charging stations in North Dakota or Norther Minnesota where 0 C is not reached often for a month and a half. That were I spent most of my adult life, now I am in Arizona where Tesla batteries don’t last long in four months of 40 C temps. Get back to me when you solve the battery problem, I expect I will be dead by then because the human race has been working on that problem for over a century! I don’t see the solution anytime soon, I hope I am not right but I will not put any money on the problem.
Progressive legal system decides you’re made of the politically correct stuff and thereby immune from defamation calling an honest man a peddo and that’s the Ethical Funds sector signal to pile on again. We’ve learned to contextualise these things too comrade but we know who the real groomers of children are.
Based on the history of the company, Tesla will still be posting annual losses, same as the past 15 years. The only real question is how long can Musk keep doing that before the company goes bust.

Would be great if photos were from similar reference points. It kinda looks like less flooding in 2019.

Mitsubishi should only sell them to Liverpuddlians then.

Not this year but I think it will be not too far away, because the product so f##king good. Seriously have you read the reviews. Best thing to hit the auto scene in decades.

Could be because of all those people who put a deposit on a Tesla truck…that hasn’t been built yet! Pure speculation!
The world of finance is built on people who speculate. It’s what makes it go round. Some win some lose. Lets see how Elon is going in a year or two.

Will such a flooding damaged the charging station? And currently, are there any flood protection plans for that area?
Tesla charging stations don’t contain copper cables.
Without copper cables the worth of flooded Tesla charging stations is Null, nil, 0, zilch, nada, ничего.
