... salt water intrusion issue ~

you mean like a prius?

 

Elon has joked that the Cybertruck could float across the "Brazoz Santiago Pass" instead of driving 20 miles.

My garage is hundreds of feet above sea level. If it gets hit with salt water intrusion, car and house fires will be among the last of my concerns.

I do see many patches of burned pavement along our highways, obviously from vehicles that burned, often with some vehicle debris still on the scene. Vastly more than can be explained by all EV fires. Must be from those fossil fuel vehicle fires that happen about once every 2 or 3 minutes.

 

Asheville altitude sits at 2,200 feet above sea level.
Just sayin....

As always, severe weather is a very Darwinian thing.
Some people are smart enough to protect their solar panels from wind and rain, and use their BEVs as a 'spit can' for surplus amps that can be used in a post-disaster environment.
Others do not - OR are not fully informed about their local topography and hydrology - or tornadoes.

The great philosopher Michael Gerard Tyson once said:
"...everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth."

In Communications, we have a failure plan, which we call PACE:

Primary.
Alternate.
Contingency.
Emergency.

Fail to plan...plan to fail.
