      It’s like the boomer thing of ‘electric cars will stop working in the rain, everyone knows water and electricity don’t mix!’ came true with this car due to the terrible design.

      This was the car Musk promised would be able to cross rivers, lakes and small oceans.

          Jeremy already did that and succeeded at crossing at least 21 miles of the English channel. Granted in a Toyota Hilux which is actually indestructible. It would have run after with only a chap and a bag of spanners and. A light fluid exchange… Getting all the channel out of the cylinders .

            A light fluid exchange - are you referring to how one of the headlights was half full of seawater? 🥲😂

    Did this guy really try going through water in a car that can’t go through a car wash?

    Mirror?

    Edit: was able to view the video in a full browser instead of mobile.

    I just wish the video was longer so that we got to see the look on the drivers face when they exited the car…
