[@anthonyproia5634]

In the event that water gets sucked into an engine, it is advisable not to attempt to restart it immediately. Instead, remove the spark plugs and then restart the engine. This will allow the water to be expelled through the spark plug holes, preventing hydro-locking of the engine and avoiding damage to its components, if not already sustained during the initial water ingestion.

I'm thinking the best thing to do is pull the spark plugs out a petrol or glow plugs / injectors out a diesel whatevers easier then crank the engine over until it sprays all the water back out without compressing it. Definitely don't park the car using the starter motor in gear or even try to restart the engine. Will insurance or warranty even cover those fools or are they about to get shafted by the stealership!

The air intake is typically right above the manufacturer's logo at the front of the car. If the water gets higher than about 1 inch above the logo, the car is going to swallow water. That's why it's essential to drive dead slow to avoid making a wave that pushes water up and over the intake. If the engine swallows water, with a petrol you might be able to maybe run it after it dries out but probably not. With a Diesel it's even more unlikely because the high compression means you'll bend a connecting rod if the engine tries to compress water. Honestly, the best car out of all of these is the Tesla because it doesn't intake anything to run. That thing will keep working probably even totally submerged if the seals around the electronics hold.

[@KevinVVV]

There's a video from china where the tesla is submerged in the water to the windows and still drives without any problems for a good couple hundred metres that it's visible in the video.

[@akuapiatas]

that's why it's essential not to drive in a body of water without a snorkel fitted - those drivers have more money than brains, even the Tesla driver

[@KrisDelaPena]

True. fun fact, Elon said that his cars are basically made like submarines

[@slweek]

Not at all. Water has definitely got into the battery, many MS/MX owners had water inside their batteries after going through a deep puddle (not even a lake like in this video!). The problems will show up after about a week or two. This car has basically one foot in its grave.

[@ryanm.191]

IIRC teslas can be completely sealed from the outside and are able to be fully submerged for a little bit. And also I believe the new cyber truck also floats in deep water so you can essentially boat it across water

The number one rule of driving across water: The water is always deeper than it looks.

[@jburgos961]

And that water looks pretty deep already lol

[@SteedDigital1]

In this case there is literally a depth gauge and I think someone said it's at 2ft. My number 1 rule for water is never go dapper that half way up your tires MAX. Usually once you're above your hubs you're dangerously close to things like your transfer case, dif and tranny breathers. Then above that is usually your air intake tucked somewhere in the bumper. Hell my Celica routes the intake right to the front grill, right at the bottom so maybe 6" off the ground at most it's actually below my tranny breathers.

[@cliffwheeler7357]

During my career as a mechanic I dismantled several engines that were wrecked due to hydraulic lock up. When water enters the combustion chamber on the compression stroke it has nowhere to go, and water cannot be compressed. When the piston reaches the top of it’s stroke it meets the uncompressible water, and the usual result is a broken piston and/or a bent con rod. It only takes an eggcup sized amount of water to enter the engine to destroy it.

[@fuijika]

Well said and you forgot to mention about the many electrical shorts that also occurs. So many computer in modern cars.

[@mcmcolm]

Years ago, having fitted a cold air intake/induction kit I drove through a not very deep flood and proceeded to hoover it into my engine. By some fluke the head gasket was apparently on the way out and the water in the cylinders blew the head gasket apart resulting in no compression but no damage to the engine beyond replacing the gasket.

[@mattm340]

That's because he knows how to do water crossings. Enter slowly so you don't create a massive splash, and then drive through at a steady pace so that you create and stay behind a nice bow wake, which basically pushes the water out from in front of you. Most of the SUVs that drove through that probably could have made it has they hadn't gunned it.

Teslas are heavy enough to maintain grip, electric so they don't need air intake continuously, and the battery packs are well enough sealed to cope with a ford. Not entirely sure how well the doors and air vents are made to keep out water though.

[@thedevilsworkshop7720]

In Australia we fix a tarp across the front of the car to keep the water out of the engine bay . Helps keep your motor dry. It creates that nice bow wave protects your radiator. You take it off straight after you cross or it impedes air flow and your car overheats . But it does wonders for the crossing .

Any car can go through deep water. You just need to know where your air intake is and drive accordingly. And high vechile will easy go through that water. Biggest mistake the people make in this video using their cars. They enter the water way too fast and don't realize the pussing the water up to go over the bonnet and swamp the engine bay with water. Rule 1 don't go into water if the standing water will be higher than the Lowes part of you car body. If you must go do it very very very slowly
