Ok guys, here's a serious question.
Electricity and water. Not a good combo.
And unluckily i live in a city where drainage system sucks real bad.
Guayaquil, Ecuador, South America.
Now this doesnt happen every year in every corner. But this continues to happen every rain season (january to march) and sometimes its so heavy that these images gets captured.
And the reality can be worse.
You know, some stuff cant be recorded.
I used to run an old F150 4x4 1998 and had no issues with these floods. Its tall and petrol-based.
But the MG4 EV... I love how it is. Tight on the street. But.. its 15cm near the floor. And water can be as high as 40 ~ 50 cm... Easily covering 60% the wheels
Dealership said no problem. These cars are sealed. They didnt say "waterproof" but mentioned these type of floods we shouldn't worry
And then i read this in the manual.
So what do i do if i see these floods near me on the next block?
Sometimes other cars get behind you and honk you to keep going... Its not like i can stop, reverse and change paths... And definitely not a good option to not use the car on these days lol
Ive seen videos of Tesla going submarine on these situations. And comments saying they explode or catch fire in the next corners - but i haven't seen this on video.
So i dont know.
Any recommendations?
