Anything, really. But of particular interest is how the range holds up from the original stated, powertrain degradation if any, and other general stuff like fit and finish, electronic gremlins, weather effects etc. Thanks in advance!

Rain / water is not a concern at all unless you're flooding the car. Even then it's not the battery that has problems. It's the low voltage electronics that are the same on any modern car.

If a diesel can survive it, so can an EV.
