Agreed. Just thought it was interesting to hear the first report of this problem affecting a vehicle other than ICE. Some places in the Sierra you have to be careful because marmots like to chew through the hoses in the engine compartment. In Yosemite cars have been ripped apart by bears who saw/smelled food inside. Animals will always pose a risk to our rides.EVDRIVER said:More ABG sensationalism. This applies to all vehicles with wire rodents like and the battery pack will not attract more because it is warm VS and ICE.

Yep - rodents love ICE cars.EVDRIVER said:More ABG sensationalism. This applies to all vehicles with wire rodents like and the battery pack will not attract more because it is warm VS and ICE.

Lots of tasty looking wiring in there...
