Didn’t know there was unspoken rules when posting. Sorry not sorry. But yes please send me your business because I’m not busy enough hauling scrap bmws.

Touché

It’s better than Tesla I heard that someone in the US died in a different kit of electric chair taking their Tesla through a few inches of water , the battery’s shorted and when the driver touched the metal door handle was fried

The air intake on these is quite low as well isn't it?

Makes you wonder how they ever allowed machines on the road with a huge tank of inflammable liquid coupled with a sequential explosion engine

Could be worse. Imagine how sad you would need to be to post an average of 12 posts a day, every single day, for over 8 years.....

Did a bit of driving across the South of England over the past week and came across the aftermath of cars broken down after water ingestion.
Counted 4 BMW's, a Nissan Juke and a two Range rovers that had definitely died due to driving through water and quite a few that may have but could just be badly parked.

Seriously what is this bullst?

Tesla air intake (for climate) is just under the windscreen, and the HV stuff is all sealed (as are all other EVs afik).

Car manufacturers and deep puddles make for cynical design of the air intake system.
They know full well that putting a low mounted pipe sucking air into the engine will suck up water by an unwary driver, whose fault it will be entirely because they put a little note in the manual to exonerate themselves.
No surprises that a lot of drivers are caught out. That BMW design from the picture is comical, Its just a scoop for whatever bow wave the car coming the other way creates...
