Driving a Tesla UNDERWATER? 😬

Just lie to your insurance company. It's not like you video recorded yourself foolishly driving underwater or shared it with the whole world, preserved for posterity.

Put it in a bowl of rice, it will be fine

Teslas have a "wade" mode for high water but this might have gone above manufacturer recommendations, literally.

I love how he wasn’t an idiot and didn’t turn on his windshield wipers

[bruceboone]

When it catches fire things will dry out.

tesla batterys are waterproof, normal cars/trucks can go through water just fine and all they need is a snorkel which has nothing to do with the electronics

[ChrisAndCats]

Major issues?!!! I wouldnt want that thing anywhere near my house after that. Electric car batteries can spontaneously ignite for months after getting wet.

in australia we say if it’s flooded forget it
i mean this four word phrase is likely ingrained into to the brains of many australians

THE ROOF, THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS ON FIRE AND THE WHOLE DAMN CAR!

[pointlessink]

Temporarily they will be fine for a few hours or days, like a phone or a laptop that have water damage in it, doesnt show that much usually base on how much that got in

[sambuko]

The electronics are NOT going to have issues… there are things called seal or gasket to keep water where it shouldn’t be

[denisesurber]

That's so sweet! If I were Tam I would sleep all the time with that constant massaging.♥️♥️

Honestly kudos to the guy for having the right amount of water to put out an electrical fire

[kellylee]

If it's salt water it can cause a fire. They just found that out after the last two hurricanes.

Whether you’ve got a gas car or an EV, please don’t drive through this. The water could be far deeper than you think it is and you could drown.

[Lee-pftx]

What is wrong with these people! Never drive through water!

[NotSpaceX]

No eletronics will have issues, not even the battery, as they are sealed and pressurized.


And yes that new model 3 is solid.

[KIngPeacHes_]

The Tesla is going to be fine the only problem I see happening is with the air filter getting absolutely destroyed other than that it should be fine because it’s electric and most of the components are sealed tight in the car

[st-ex]

The car's electronics are likely to be fine. The battery AND its power electronics are in a water-tight enclosure.
There might however be other issues after submerging the car THAT much!

[BigJon]

Might be just enough water to put that fire out!
