There is a video circulating, showing a man from China, pouring water directly on his Tesla charging cable and on the end of the charging unit. He also pours water directly on the Tesla charge ports on the car. Here's what happens as he does it.

Recently, Tesla’s Head of Vehicle Engineering confirmed that the Cybertruck will be able to charge at 350KW using V4 superchargers. Now he’s saying the Model 3 and other Tesla vehicles could get 350KW as well. 15% to 85% in 9 minutes.

In the latest "recall", which is actually an over-the-air software update, Tesla Autopilot has simply been updated to be more annoying and to have increased font size. This is not a good update, in my opinion.
