| Seems Tesla and other ‘non-petro’ based Electric vehicles use organic wire sheathing as well coolant hose for the motors and some of the body panel plastics. Soy based that Rodents dearly enjoy chowing down upon |

Dave, that’s been an on going problem with Ford, Honda, Toyota and most all automakers for about the last 10 years, not just EV’s. A chipmunk did over $5,000 damage to a lady on our streets BMW last winter. Automakers now sell and use rodent resistant pepper tape to try to discourage chewing visitors. ------------- Allis Express North Georgia 41 WC,48 UC Cane,7-G's, Ford 345C TLB |
