Model 3 that think it a amphibious car

[Jlemieu1]

Here is a video from my buddy as he went out to clear a drain in front of his house.
Model 3 with water above windshield for a second.

Your buddy is an idiot. I mean, sure, it did it, but why drive through deep water with that much gusto in a car you care about?

 

[MP3Mike]

Well the rear bumper cover didn't fall off like everybody says happens if you even drive through a puddle...

 

[ngogas]

Rich buddy.

 

[Jlemieu1]

Lol, it's not my buddies Tesla. It's my buddies driveway.

 

[glide]

I can only imagine what got ripped off the bottom at that speed.

 

[ricohman]

More money than brains.

 

[vwmotorsports]

So your buddies driveway not his car. I agree the Tesla owner has more dollars than sense.

 

[ngogas]

No just this guy in the video.

Turn around, don’t drown is a saying in Texas where I used to live. He had no idea how deep that was, and was lucky it wasn’t flowing.

Story time: Had a poor fellow drown in his car just down the street from me here in Cali during a flash flood when he tried to drive through the water covering a street. Washed his car into a drainage ditch. They didn’t find him until they dug out the ditch days later. Man’s Body Found in Vehicle Discovered Buried in Mud in Palmdale

That's a pretty cool video. Why do people think anything bad would happen?

 

[Triplett]

You fools, everybody knows that electricity and water go hand in hand.

 

[Big Earl]

Lol, it's not my buddies Tesla. It's my buddies driveway.

Oh I see... your buddy was just filming some random guy blasting through the water. Glad your buddy isn’t the idiot.

Just an easy way to feel superior.

Lolz. Well I thought it was cool!

To each his own

Damn! I’m working near the AV and flsdhflood are serious there. You would never think it was as I was unfamiliar with the area but man it’s bad!

Yes we should admire this person for living in the moment! YOLO!
Seriously though the enjoyment of driving a car through water doesn’t seem worth the cost and hassle of dealing with water damage. A ridiculous number of cars are destroyed by flood damage.

In “everybody’s” defense, the bumper only stayed on because this guy was lucky enough to have his car delivered with his underbody aero shields actually installed!

If this guy had had the aero wheel covers (seems to have 19s), they would have popped off for sure!

Sad about the disagrees on my attempts at humor...

There are a few people who inexplicably get cars without the aero shields installed...obviously for most people everything is fine...but it is worth checking - I was missing 3 bolts!

Found out what’s causing undercarriage composite to break apart

Facts matter? Pretty sure the guy above would have lost his bumper cover!

I’ve heard the aero wheel covers will pop off in large puddles, but that may or may not be true...
