Water gets into the body, which lacks fluid drains and accumulates water, which can potentially reach wiring.

I seriously don't understand how this could be possible. How does the car manage rain water?

I don't think it's meant to be driven in the rain

I don't think it's meant to be driven.

I mean... It's not even meant to be a vehicle, tbh. It's an ego trip, status symbol, or virtue signal (pick up to 3) in the form of a vehicle.

The part where it can propel itself and it's occupants from place to place is, in fact, a bonus feature.
