I really wanted for y'all to see that if an electric car has been in
an accident don't touch it you can get your battery over charged!
They are really dangerous vehicles! I have read about some big
pile ups on the hyway and if they were all electric cars nobody
could touch them they would have to wait fo;r the electric company
guys with the proper equipment to get them out of the cars!

Depends on how well the connections are sealed. I would presume the builders are using gasketed Molex plugs but I've seen them allow moisture in anyway. One thing I do is I coat the plug ends in dielectric grease and the sealing 'O' rings too. I'd bet new car builders never do that.

Back when I worked at the Western Star / Freightliner dealership, we worked on electric UPS local delivery trucks and when in the shop, they had to be cordoned off all the time and not just anyone could work on them because the chance of getting electrocuted was pretty high. Far as I know of, UPS (here) got rid of them.

Graph tying politics to vehicle purchases...
Toyota seems to consistently have neat equal distribution of buyers...

My liberal friends are not in love with Tesla anymore. (Many own them). Most citing Elons purchase of Twitter. Funny it has nothing to do with the car now.

I hear some of the same…
They collectively fully onboard but since Twitter want nothing to do with him.
It’s a strange world when political correctness Tumps all.
