Is a Cybertruck up to the coming El Niño?

I have been planning to buy the mid-tier Cybertruck. I have a Nissan Armada 4WD that I will give to my son when he graduates from college in May.

I’m getting older and I want the largest self-driving vehicle I can buy. So, a Cybertruck it is.

Here in California, we are anticipating a very wet winter from the strengthening and historically strong El Niño. I’m near Malibu.

Will the CT function/perform/withstand (thrive?) in heavy rains and possible flooding?

And a true novice question: is it safe to charge a Tesla outside in the driveway in such heavy rain? My wife has a Tesla 3 and we have the Tesla power charger, but we charge it inside the garage. The CT will not fit into our garage.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experience and knowledge.
