Tesla Model Y Powers Through Deep Floodwater

A Tesla owner’s viral video shows a Model Y driving through about 85 seconds of deep, muddy floodwater that nearly reaches the windows. While the vehicle kept moving—highlighting its enclosed battery and chassis design—experts caution that hidden obstacles and prolonged submersion can still damage any vehicle.

The video showcases EV water resistance, but it’s also a reminder that floodwater is unpredictable and should be avoided whenever possible.

Range anxiety? Not today. But I’d still rather charge at a Supercharger than test the ‘submarine mode’ update.
