Can You Drive a Tesla in Heavy Rain?
2 Answers
You can drive a Tesla in heavy rain. Below is a detailed introduction to Tesla: 1. Entertainment System: Without opening the center console, the screen is divided into upper and lower parts. One part displays the browser interface, while the other can switch among five interfaces: 'Media, Energy, Network, Camera, Phone.' The positions of the upper and lower parts can be swapped. 2. Map Navigation: It is understood that the Model-S in the United States uses Google Maps for navigation, which works excellently. However, unfortunately, the domestic version of Model-S in China cannot use Google Maps data, so navigation is not available.
I've been driving a Tesla Model 3 for over two years now. Last fall, I encountered an extremely heavy rainstorm while rushing home from work. The raindrops were pounding on the windows, but the car remained stable with no difference in acceleration response compared to normal conditions. However, I had to carefully control my speed to avoid skidding on the slippery road surface. Tesla's battery has excellent sealing and high waterproof rating, so it's safe as long as you don't foolishly drive into deep puddles. That day, I deliberately slowed down to 40 km/h, turned on the fog lights, and manually controlled the wipers. I recommend regularly checking tire tread depth and wiper blade condition. Avoid using autopilot mode during heavy rain as the cameras might malfunction due to water obstruction. Overall, the car handles well, but driver caution is crucial. In such weather, I always prioritize familiar routes and avoid low-lying areas.
