@ no. It’s rare. Several Tesla’s ignited after a hurricane. This video is not of cars in salt water is it? Probably no video on this channel show any cars in saltwater. One of the cars in the video, is an MG4, which I think has an LFP battery which is much less likely to have a runaway reaction. Same battery tech in many other EVs now like the most common EU Tesla Model Ys and many iD3s I think. And yes, the battery is sealed and the motor most defiantly. They are water cooled to capture heat. How does that stay in? There’s small holes in the structure to allow for battery off-gassing and expansion.. but these have filters for stopping liquid and dust in meaningful quantities.

At 02:30 that guy has luck! At the great rain disaster in Germany few years ago, there was an old lady saved by the fire department after her car was hydrolocked, but in case of to much emergency calls the fire department let the car stand in the water, unfortenally no recovery company came to recover her car, because for them the recovery was to danger and other recoveries were higher rated. At the end the fire department had to come a second time to the car in the water, because it was burning! The battery was not deactivated and insid the car was so much water, that the fuse box was under water and creates massive short circuits.

You have question why people make the decision to fill their car with muddy water, rather than find another route. Although most of them were lucky and got through, the water ingress into the vehicle will eventually corrode the electronics first. The car will be rotten soon enough, then junked because it needs expensive repairs to the electrical systems (even if it can be repaired).
