I saw loads of pictures of the Dubai floods (TikTok). Saw lots of vids of electric vehicles wading windscreen deep.

I was wondering if that would have long term damage or are they all sealed up?
The only EV that I know of that can officially wade is the BYD U8, not sure about Tesla or any of the others.

As someone pointed out "Electric and water does not mix" until someone said "What about kettles!".

My old Discovery had breathing tubes fitted and the guy said I could get them completely submerged and they would be fine as the pressure differential (see what I did there!) wmeans no water would get in.

He lied!

I reckon a lot of those super cars will be stripped, cleaned and resold for export. No markers on them.
