Looked over and didn't believe it.... wouldn't the batteries be submerged????

They're in the trunk/under rear seat so unlike a Tesla with a direct dunk. Still not something I'd be doing as the electric motor(s) are likely submerged.

Just saw one EV company has initiated bankruptcy proceedings.----Glad I did not give them a deposit for one of their products.----Or worse , have one in my driveway !

their people must have told them to cut and run before the lawsuits start coming .

If we had a time lapse on that pic and could see a little latter in time....we would see a big POOF as she goes up in flames!! Sorry, no idea why it went bold..

Thats a really dumb thing to do. However surely those EV vehicles must be able to get a little wet? Real world experience tells you that you will have to drive thru a deep pothole ot flooded area at some point. Maybe everything is sealed against water? I still wouldn't chance that though.....

There is splash resistant and submersion resistant.

EVs are not submersion resistant

Especially in salt water...the corrsion factor is quick and makes them go poof !! Look at all the fires in EV's after the hurricanes !!

Did you see that ship over by Germany that burnt carrying a load of cars? They suspect that was caused by an EV catching fire. I always wanted one, but I think I'll wait until they get all the bugs worked out!

That is gonna be a while, to busy trying to push them to make the political agenda !! There are a lot of bugs still waiting to be ironed out !!

There will never be one in my driveway
For the simple reason that I will not tolerate choices being taken from me.
