My understanding is that the whole area under the rear seats (or under the lift-up panel in the case of a 2-seater) is waterproof to protect the electrics.

That sounds like common sense
I think that if water did get to a level of the internal floor, the electrical system will get wet. When you pull the floor covering up in the left or right rear floor pan, you can see the drain plugs. The battery may sit in a separate tray that is higher than the floor level but I didnt see that. There are plenty of photos showing the under seat battery compartment and to be honest, if it floods that high, we’ll have all sorts of other issues, like floating away. I should add that the door sealing if very good to the extant that when you pull them closed, you need to be positive. The dealer where my one is residing suggested that the internal air pressure goes up noticeably when you shut the doors..
Contracts seem to be coming thick and fast. Quite a few on Facebook are also celebrating the contract arrival!
So far I’ve received four contracts over the past couple of weeks, amended after errors in the first, first contract last November. I signed the first one and now I just keep getting “contract voided” emails as all the subsequent ones expire. Customer service assure me that my original, correct signed contract is indeed recorded as “signed”.
Especially after being told we can hose the car out using the bungholes.
Deposit recorded on "pdf" as 19 may 2022, still no contract...
The little vent things on the pillers beside the rear doors on the back of the car are specifically there to let pressure out when you close the doors because it is so air/water tight
Block them up with duct tape and turn the interior fan on when attempting a really deep crossing
Indeed... They allow some positive pressure to build up ---external fresh air and fan to keep dust at bay, but release the immediate pressure wave caused by a closing door, Otherwise the door would be difficult to close and you'd get popping ears like in an aircraft...
You and me mate! I am cool & calm though - where is my truck!!!???Deposit recorded on "pdf" as 19 may 2022, still no contract...
Chuck your glove over it. I presume everybody will be wearing gloves, just so "you can operate the switchgear with gloves on"
Me too, I’ve also logged into the portal every so often just in case
Good to see some movement in Aust. Hoping to see one soon with my 18May22 order and and earlier initial reservation?
Me too, same dates as you and F@@k all in the way of contracts despite many promises..
