Tesla Vision fails as owners complain of Model 3 cameras fogging up in cold weather::A number of Tesla owners have taken to Reddit after their front cameras fogged up and stopped working in cold weather, leaving several features, including the US$10,000 FSD Beta, inoperable. Tesla has declined to assist to these customers, despite many of their vehicles being covered under warranty.

and submerge the battery.

So why wouldn't the battery be sealed? Why is this a mode of failure that you believe is somehow acceptable? Short of the car going the route of a particular 500k P1... Why wouldn't we expect the batteries to be sealed if they're that sensitive to water ingress?

You realize that outside has a lot of water? And it's pretty normal for some of that to get on the underside of your vehicle... Why wouldn't tesla as a car design/manufacturer account for that and take reasonable precaution to stop water ingress on the battery? You even hear of an ICE car doing this short of driving into a lake?

    All the time. Cars are not amphibious vehicles. The ones made for that generally have a snorkel. We're advised to not drive in high water for reasons including causing damage to your vehicle and your vehicle floating away.
