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!

Thanks, good to know. I live in the tropics, so rain/ water damage is a concern.
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.

Electronics, battery pack maybe?

Most likely much better for the HV and drive parts. And there’s no air intake or exhaust for the engine either, so it’s a lot less sensitive to water.
12v side is pretty much the same junk that’s in all cars. Apart from model specific mistakes (e.g. Cybertruck), which sometimes happen, all remotely modern cars are waterproof in any sane use.

That there are occasionally car models which have design flaws leading to water ingress or condensation issues. Sometimes there’s a fix, sometimes not.
Cybertruck dying in a car wash was one recent example.

Flooding?
Not sure if a flood would affect an EV’s electrical system…

Possible, unlikely though below the level that would make any ICE vehicle an insurance write off too, so no real reason to worry about that unless you plan on regularly driving through flooded roads
