Under the Tesla battery warranty, rainwater ingress is not covered.

What 21k to replace? I would definitely file an insurance claim rather than bringing up a warranty issue if your car is submerged. Proof of submersion, such as a high-water mark on interior panels, is required by insurance companies. The battery ought to be changed under warranty if the vehicle wasn't submerged and a leak was created by regular driving. Tesla has a reputation for breaking warranties, but after Elon Musk leaves the firm, this will probably stop happening.

I guess we should stop using our CTs since we can't stop the rain

All EVs built on GM's Ultium platform were recalled due to this issue.

How was the documentation? Was it a real hassle? It's a shame that weather can have such a big impact on our vehicles...

So, what is the best we can do in a situation like this?
