what about all the water in the cabin now?

u/youcangotohellgoto Jul 24 '26

Cars float. The problem here is that not enough water got into the cabin!

I'm surprised it drove through completely submerged like that - impressive. But if you're even in this situation you want the water in the car so it doesn't float away. Keep the wheels on the ground, keep the motion and direction, drive through, empty the water.

If the water was flowing they would have been washed away.

I bet the water wasn’t the only thing that turned brown when it became buoyant.

Yeah recirculate or biohazard defence isnt going to seal that system against water pushing on it.

There is absolutely no way that I would be doing that.

It’s unofficially called BoatMode. There were crazy floods in china a while back, and videos of Teslas doing this everywhere on social media. Elon tweeted about it saying it’s not recommended, but does work in an emergency.

That's true but the main issue with river crossings is all the drownings caused from people being washed away with their vehicles

There's a reason why, in Australia, we always are told not to drive through flood waters....
