I didn't!  I have work to do yet in this life.  Such as educating proles
online!  As in... all of you.  Besides this is just plain fun, and I have a
place to set this up safely, away from buildings and stuff.

That article you sent is what gave me the idea to try this foolishness

Ja, and here's the deal.  That storm was mind-numbing expensive, not because
it was a particularly big or unusual storm (it wasn't) but because it hit
and caused the surge in a really expensive neighborhood with lots of 80
thousand dollar Teslae which why the rich proles who owned them now don't
trust them in their garages attached to multimillion dollar homes.  BillK,
would you trust it if it had been partially submerged in seawater for an
hour?  Neither would I, and my home isn't nearly as grand as yours.  Hey I
saw the homes in Britain, on Downton Abbey.  I wouldn't park a Tesla
anywhere near one of those.  You Brits really know how to live!

So, Ian created a market for unethical investors to buy up a bunch of these
Teslae in Port Charlotte or Cayo Costa or Cape Coral for a song, replace the
upholstery and seats, falsify the documentation for where the car grew up,
sell it in California, unsuspecting EV buyer puts it in her garage, burns
her house to the ground with it.

If you buy a used Tesla in California, do find a way to verify its origins.
There are ways that can't easily be fooled I am told.
