I was parked for a double shift at the fire house. We had a HUGE downpour and now the exterior buttons don’t work. Anyone experience this? First downpour owning the truck and they short circuited ??‍♂??

They'll dry out and start working, again.

Happened all the time until I had them replaced.
Ah, unfortunately Oregon won’t dry out until June haha. I have a service appointment in 2 weeks, hopefully they change it out so it works

Oregon shouldn't ever dry out unless you're east of the cascades!

But it's a known random failure point. Most don't see it happen, but... Make sure you put in a ticket with Tesla and get them to fix it!

I remember hearing about this issue during the early wave of releases.

IIRC, Tesla revised the part and now it stays dry.

I grew up there! ^-^ My family moved there when I was like 1 years old and I didn't move back to California until I was an adult looking for work.
