Massive Rain Storm Wave Culls San Francisco's Tesla Population

The massive rainstorm that pummeled the Bay Area on New Year’s Eve flooded Alioto’s Garage on Folsom Street in the Mission, totaling 40 cars.

The destroyed vehicles included Porsches and “a lot of Teslas,” said owner Chris Alioto. Alioto’s wife also lost her Mercedes, and he estimates there’s hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage done to the shop alone. 

The flooding came up to waist high, according to employee Chiara Callahan, who claimed there was sewage in the water.
