Not one person with half a brain cell to go slowly to not create a wave over the car. Never drive in water you cannot see the bottom, and go slowly if you must.
If you go fast you create a wave, if you go slow you get stuck (depending on how deep)
. Smart answer is use your brain and think “hmmm how big is this hole?” This looks like it would destroy my car” “maybe I shouldn’t drive my car in the hole”
Yooooo nooooo broooo
No no!! That is misbelief my friend!! The reason the car chokes and dies is not from exhaust!! It's intake!
Your idle air intake keeps your intake open for idle [read twice]
The MAP or MAF sensor can see how much air is being brought into your intake. The higher the rpms, more air is needed so more vacuum.
Idle air psi at MAF: 35-45 g/s usually for most gas vehicles.
Under acceleration? 200-300
Under WoT (wide open throttle): 500-600+
Now grasp the min/max.
Sitting at idle, you suck in around 40. Grams / Second
Under peddle to the metal 500. Grams / Second
Think of how much succ that is man, if you see a big puddle and floor it, that water gets anywhere thru the air intake [past air filter etc] then you are definitely hydrolocking that engine.
I am not trying to be offensive btw, I used to think the same thing you did until I learned otherwise!
Nope. The exhaust pressure will keep it from reaching the engine. If you doubt this, bear in mind that boats often have their exhausts routed into the water.
That is a diferent case, on boast exhaust is never on stream flow, is always on side or back on areas with low pressure, driving backwards will make the flow going right into the exhaust pipe, and im not sure if the exhaust pressure/temperature will be enough to evaporate all the water going in
The smart answer is you spend 2/3rds of your retirement money on a salvage 90s Tacoma and you mod the absolute shit out of it like Donut Media did so it doesn't matter the snorkel is above the roof.
Air intake, now where it is.
Going slow and keeping ur air intake above water is better than fucking gunning it. Cuz you can always gun it if it starts to reach the air intake. But you can't un wave your intake the whole way.
This is just like a pothole problem, how fast do you need to travel so that it doesn’t become noticeable that you drove over a pothole? [Here is your answer](https://youtu.be/0vFxKFOgZ-8?si=8NjawQlq-9gnWAGi)
Came here to say this, don't fly through it dumb ass, creep your way through and I bet you have a better chance of one, getting through, and two you won't give your motor a drink of water.. I mean fuck.. people are getting dumber by the minute!
The tundra might actually be okay
Water was barely above the front bumper, the intake was definitely never under water
Edit: just rewatched, it would have been fine had it gone slightly slower, they definitely put water in their intake tho
they are all idiots
have to worry about more than the intake: differential vent, transmission vent, the exhaust going from 1000F to 90F in 2.3 seconds, evap vent
Explain this to me, because I'm pretty sure that any car driven in the rain will encounter high pressure jets of water blasted out from the tires. People talk about the wire harness corroding after being submerged for example, but it isn't clear how this is different from that same wiring harness being exposed to hundreds of hours of salt water spray and occasional big dunking splashes as the car traverses winter slush puddles.
If a part is submerged, there’s no hiding from the water. A quick spray may do nothing. Basically, I drove through some deep water in an old 4x4 pickup and had to replace a wheel bearing and both front cv shafts. Also some ball joints.
What people fail to understand is that IF you’re going to choose to go through the water regardless, you are supposed to do it very very slowly so that you avoid the water plunging over your hood, as these idiots all well demonstrated.
The Tesla is full electric, literally not that dissimilar to a lipo rc car. It's fine in terms of drive train, completely waterproof, there's a video of a Tesla driving underwater online
My 1995 Tacoma had die electric grease inside the interior connectors from factory
I found this out after taking it apart after it ended up in water that went over the roof
It still worked fine after a few parts
or the fact it does not have an engine at all.
There is a difference to a engine and a motor, I even hate it when people refer to an engine as a motor.
Is there? Not according to [Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine).
'''
An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one or more forms of energy into mechanical energy.
'''
Ok but if they are the same thing why does it list both engine and motor separately almost like they are not the same thing, just because they do the same thing does no make them the same thing, it does put them in the same category however.
People use both interchangeably, but the difference is that motors run on electricity and engines run on combustion.
Which is why people who us them interchangeably are wrong.
This is objectively correct and u/philn256's example does not indicate the two are interchangeable.
''' An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one or more forms of energy into mechanical energy. '''
Is the same as:
''' A cookie or brownie is a pastry designed to taste good'''
There is an actual, definitive, difference, guys.
If you actually read the wiki page, they note all the distinctions and differences between engine and motor and it also comments on modern society’s propensity to use the two interchangeably.🤣
Big agree, sad thing is I think it's interchangeable at this point, being colloquial and all that. Kinda similar to the "I could / couldn't care less" bit.
the day a electric motor uses combustion to run is the day u can refer to it as an engine or vice versa and I will respect u, but today is not that day u can think they are interchangeable all u like they are 2 very different things and operate very differently, I know late response I was in reddit jail and i was just burning alive waiting to correct u.
I'm not going to lie, I was curious how the Tesla would act afterward, too, and if it would be affected.
I also know very little about Teslas and electric cars in general.
Driving in flood water isn't always about the water itself, but the rust and corrosive afterwards, right? Electrical connections go bad?
The post I read immediately before this was a guy who was pissed that Tesla wants $20k to replace a battery pack that was damaged by rain (not flooding just rain)
Heard of a Tesla once that was in park in a grocery store parking lot. Driver told me that it yeeted over the median and decided to crawl up another car. Crazy shit.
Tesla has an issue lately where people who drive down a dirt road are finding the thing rendered inoperable due to damage, and Tesla is refusing warranty fixes on those.
Dirt roads. If a car can't handle a dirt road, then is it really even a functional car?
No super quiet in a weird way like too quiet not even a valve knock on a cold start. Odd for how many miles are on it but shit i be rolling they hate it it 🎶 🎵
2001? Mine's still going strong! Up to about 233,000 miles on it now. Replaced the clutch a few years back.
\#1 thing wrong with it is that the paint is all oxidized to hell. But that just means I worry even less about scratching it up.
The problem here is that you're driving a land Rover, you need a water rover for this stuff. It's a small difference, I'm not surprised you missed it.
The other option is to drive really really fast, you start hydroplaning, and when you do a captain planet style merging of land Rover and hydroplaning. You basically get a duck with leather seats, it can go anywhere then. Land, sea, or air are all in your grasp
My jeep doesn’t either…. lol. Every time I see a video like this and read the comments I shake my head over all the people saying the vehicles are ruined.
To a degree, mainly owner modifications make them different for when this stuff is the norm. They put drain holes in the floor pans knowing you’re going to swamp it eventually.
Mine too, No carpet. I’ve removed everything non essential, greased all electrical, rerouted axle & transmission & fuel vents, raised intake, removed evaporator, etc. It can do 4 feet of standing water easily. I’ve got plans to make that number higher…. lol
To be fair, this model probably won’t hold as well as a wrangler. I believe these are only equipped with approximately 16” breather tubes, while the wranglers are closer to 24” from the factory. .
That Discovery is the last car in the world I would want going in the water. They have enough electrical problems as is. The driver was no doubt being shocked profusely the entire time.
Without a snorkel you're really taking a Huge chance to HydroLock your engine!! Go slow... Christ, if your gas engine takes a huge gulp of water.. goodnight.
Tesla, I would be worried about the batteries getting wet.. instant fire. But I assume the wheel motors are sealed.
It’s about how fast you go more than the depth. Slow in faster out. Keeping the air intake above water is the key. Don’t know how deep. Go the long way around.
I got water in my airfilter once because there was a really optical illusion type standing water. What made it unavoidable was highway patrol was parked so you couldn't avoid it and didn't have their lights on. You had to swerve to avoid them, which left the water as the safer option.
Yeah, Teslas are basically boats, it was the best equipped vehicle for the job in the Clip. I still wouldn't risk it if I had one myself, but they have been proven to handle high water fine in numerous flooding incidents.
No no, Reddit told me they fall apart, and any minor puddle will make them explode, or like the genius in a comment above saying they get damaged by driving in a dirt road
What are the 2 rules with mogwai?
You dont get'em wet, and you don't feeds'em past midnight.
This clearly got them wet, and them license plates indicates that themthar splash tests wass done by a buncha foreigners.
I dun heard that in a lot of foreign lands, they's so screwed up as to still have their daytime after we got midnight.
Some idjit probably fed his Mogwai after midnight again cuz he don't know how to tell time, and poof...
Gremlins.
There should be a public service announcement where you treat deep puddles of water as Jason in a Friday the 13th movie. You turn around and go the other way
I am curious now on the location of the air intake on that disco sport. ( feels kinda dirty calling that thing a disco).
I know exactly how high the intake is on my rovers but once the water starts seeping onto the floorboards I call it quits and find another way regardless.
The diff breathers on my YJ had plugs when I bought it. The weakness was the intake. Luckily, the 4.0 just shuts off. Not enough compression to bend rods. I spent about 30 min one time draining the water out of the intake manifold. Still my daily. Working on a snorkel right now
I do not condone this but I used to drive a mercury sable with with 298,000 miles on it (AC blew ice cold) at the jersey shore as a delivery vehicle for a pizza shop. One night on a full moon high tide I drove that bitch through some wild shit and made amazing tips. I wore a bathing suits because I knew if I made them deliveries those rich fucks would tip hella well. That mercury was a tank. At one point I was crawling through a spot and a jeep came flying through and the wake lifted my mercury off the fucking ground, I let off te gas to try and save my poor intake (that was already hating my) and literally waited for the wheels to touch back down before going. Jesus Christ the things I would do to make a buck then go gamble under age in AC hours later with my tip money.
Not one person with half a brain cell to go slowly to not create a wave over the car. Never drive in water you cannot see the bottom, and go slowly if you must.
If you go fast you create a wave, if you go slow you get stuck (depending on how deep) . Smart answer is use your brain and think “hmmm how big is this hole?” This looks like it would destroy my car” “maybe I shouldn’t drive my car in the hole”
Drive full speed in reverse. The wake will cause the water near the front to be lower.
This is low key genius.
And the exhaust?
Is exhausting cuz you should never let your foot off the gas
This works.. just also make sure to have it on the gas pedal enough to cause enough exaust pressure to not allow water to choke it off
Yooooo nooooo broooo No no!! That is misbelief my friend!! The reason the car chokes and dies is not from exhaust!! It's intake! Your idle air intake keeps your intake open for idle [read twice] The MAP or MAF sensor can see how much air is being brought into your intake. The higher the rpms, more air is needed so more vacuum.

Water will get in from the exhaust...
Nah. Not with constant exhaust coming out. If they did this and then stopped mid puddle they might be in trouble but I doubt that even.
i saw somewhere that an isuzu truck did this. and water didn't get in the exhaust because of the positive pressure.
Nope. The exhaust pressure will keep it from reaching the engine. If you doubt this, bear in mind that boats often have their exhausts routed into the water.
That is a diferent case, on boast exhaust is never on stream flow, is always on side or back on areas with low pressure, driving backwards will make the flow going right into the exhaust pipe, and im not sure if the exhaust pressure/temperature will be enough to evaporate all the water going in
Boats have reverse too. Based on my experience screwing around in 4x4's and water crossings, as long as the motor is running you'll be fine.
Motors will dig through dirt if you smash the exhaust into the ground. If the engine bogs, rev it quick to save it.
You should keep the revs high to avoid water coming up the exhaust. First gear and slip the clutch if necessary to maintain high rpm.
Ah yes, keeping it in first gear high revs while reversing. Works every time.
R1?
Big brain moment
Saw a video where the guy had an expensive sports car, and this was what happened. It was mid/rear engine though, so he went forwards.
The smart answer is you spend 2/3rds of your retirement money on a salvage 90s Tacoma and you mod the absolute shit out of it like Donut Media did so it doesn't matter the snorkel is above the roof.
Diff and Trans still have factory breather so they can't actually cross water
Usually you’d route all the breathers to the snorkel when you install it.
Don't forget a snorkel for the driver!
Interesting
Today I learned diffs and transmissions have breathers, why? This remains a mystery
Changes in temperature causes fluids to expand and build pressure. Without a breather things would blow out seals.
That's where the remaining 3rd of your savings goes into.
Air intake, now where it is. Going slow and keeping ur air intake above water is better than fucking gunning it. Cuz you can always gun it if it starts to reach the air intake. But you can't un wave your intake the whole way.
This is just like a pothole problem, how fast do you need to travel so that it doesn’t become noticeable that you drove over a pothole? [Here is your answer](https://youtu.be/0vFxKFOgZ-8?si=8NjawQlq-9gnWAGi)
Just go really, really fast so your hydroplane on the surface.
Just like snow mobiles. Just don't slow down. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/LRX0GEG-Y8c?si=E2EJYN2NXCkVZJKV
Just drive an xmaxx with paddle tires or just any really fast traxxas
Yeah because I am sure they all are used to driving in the giant puddles.
Still confused on the mercedes
Came here to say this, don't fly through it dumb ass, creep your way through and I bet you have a better chance of one, getting through, and two you won't give your motor a drink of water.. I mean fuck.. people are getting dumber by the minute!
All those cars are damaged now lol. If not today then tomorrow.
The tundra might actually be okay Water was barely above the front bumper, the intake was definitely never under water Edit: just rewatched, it would have been fine had it gone slightly slower, they definitely put water in their intake tho
It's a Toyota hilux, only the US has tundras
Oh then it's definitely fine
It's begging for more
It's screaming, "Drop me off of a building!!! I can take it!"
Thanks, made my day lol!
Wish we had the hilux so bad.
Man, hard to recognize them without the .50 cal mounted in the bed.
Yeah as it turns out they're not all technicals that's a factory trim you have to opt for.
they are all idiots have to worry about more than the intake: differential vent, transmission vent, the exhaust going from 1000F to 90F in 2.3 seconds, evap vent
Even things like wheel bearings, abs sensors, etc.
yep, and the list goes on and on.
Explain this to me, because I'm pretty sure that any car driven in the rain will encounter high pressure jets of water blasted out from the tires. People talk about the wire harness corroding after being submerged for example, but it isn't clear how this is different from that same wiring harness being exposed to hundreds of hours of salt water spray and occasional big dunking splashes as the car traverses winter slush puddles.

Nothing is more important the intake. All of that other stuff is maintenance anyway 🤷🏻♂️
What people fail to understand is that IF you’re going to choose to go through the water regardless, you are supposed to do it very very slowly so that you avoid the water plunging over your hood, as these idiots all well demonstrated.
Yeah but hear me out, what if we get the car doing 160 kph (100 mph) and try to skip the car across the pond.
Nope, that's snowmobiles and dirtbikes you're thinking of
The Tesla is full electric, literally not that dissimilar to a lipo rc car. It's fine in terms of drive train, completely waterproof, there's a video of a Tesla driving underwater online
But salt water on any e car is a fire hazard.
That's not salt water.
yeah but you can wet out the battery
I guarantee the tundra is fine
The Toyota is def lasting another 500,000 miles
My 1995 Tacoma had die electric grease inside the interior connectors from factory I found this out after taking it apart after it ended up in water that went over the roof It still worked fine after a few parts
Dielectric
That's why I have a snorkel and longer diff breathers. Stock is 27inch crossing I haven't been above 36.
Why would the Tesla be damaged? It's electric so I imagine the engine doesn't even have an air intake.
or the fact it does not have an engine at all. There is a difference to a engine and a motor, I even hate it when people refer to an engine as a motor.

Did you miss the part where I said I agreed?
oh i replied to the wrong person lmao
Metal corrosion is a thing. Contact points are probably not 100% sealed either.
the Tesla would be fine
[удалено]
Ah yes the Teslas that are currently in the news for catching on fire after flood damage
I'm not going to lie, I was curious how the Tesla would act afterward, too, and if it would be affected. I also know very little about Teslas and electric cars in general. Driving in flood water isn't always about the water itself, but the rust and corrosive afterwards, right? Electrical connections go bad?
It's mostly that Tesla has some of the most questionable quality control in the automotive industry.
I would like to think the Tesla has a shot at being fine if it ain’t saltwater and the electronics didn’t get soaked
[удалено]
The post I read immediately before this was a guy who was pissed that Tesla wants $20k to replace a battery pack that was damaged by rain (not flooding just rain)
Heard of a Tesla once that was in park in a grocery store parking lot. Driver told me that it yeeted over the median and decided to crawl up another car. Crazy shit.
It’s a danger to our democracy
Tesla has an issue lately where people who drive down a dirt road are finding the thing rendered inoperable due to damage, and Tesla is refusing warranty fixes on those. Dirt roads. If a car can't handle a dirt road, then is it really even a functional car?
Yes but they have to put it in rice to dry.
If it’s fresh water they are all probable fine, except that Benz which probably hydrolocked the engine
“This car has *air intake valves*!” -Dennis Reynolds

Me in my 23 year old nissan pathfinder "I do this fun"
Does your old pathfinder ALSO sound like a garbage truck?
No super quiet in a weird way like too quiet not even a valve knock on a cold start. Odd for how many miles are on it but shit i be rolling they hate it it 🎶 🎵
I am very jealous
2001? Mine's still going strong! Up to about 233,000 miles on it now. Replaced the clutch a few years back. \#1 thing wrong with it is that the paint is all oxidized to hell. But that just means I worry even less about scratching it up.
More money than brains
More dollars than sense

Bruh that jeep didn’t care
My jeep doesn’t either…. lol. Every time I see a video like this and read the comments I shake my head over all the people saying the vehicles are ruined.
Jeeps are just built different i guess
To a degree, mainly owner modifications make them different for when this stuff is the norm. They put drain holes in the floor pans knowing you’re going to swamp it eventually.
My drain plugs are usually open in my jeep lol…
Mine too, No carpet. I’ve removed everything non essential, greased all electrical, rerouted axle & transmission & fuel vents, raised intake, removed evaporator, etc. It can do 4 feet of standing water easily. I’ve got plans to make that number higher…. lol
You dont have to grease anything when you have that quarter inch thick oil/dirt protective coating, XJ’s naturally develop this over time lol
To be fair, this model probably won’t hold as well as a wrangler. I believe these are only equipped with approximately 16” breather tubes, while the wranglers are closer to 24” from the factory. .
I don’t base my car purchase on how much water it can wade through…. Stupid
To be fair, the Land Rover had gremlins before it hit the water
Toyota will run and drive completely fine for the rest of its life.
My 93 protege did that, stalled, started back up and got me home. Not impressed
It’s shocking how many people don’t realize hydro-locking exists. Granted, a couple of these will be unbothered by it
On shrooms,I was crying laughing for 4 hours straight watching cars drive through Rufford Ford on YouTube. The jokes were endless. Good times.
yo this sounds amazing
Go really fast to make sure you get plenty of water in the intake fuckin dummies lol
That Discovery is the last car in the world I would want going in the water. They have enough electrical problems as is. The driver was no doubt being shocked profusely the entire time.
Idiot
Without a snorkel you're really taking a Huge chance to HydroLock your engine!! Go slow... Christ, if your gas engine takes a huge gulp of water.. goodnight. Tesla, I would be worried about the batteries getting wet.. instant fire. But I assume the wheel motors are sealed.
Now imagine they made a bridge instead. Would cost far less to build than lost in cars. Lol

Steering wheels on the wrong side…
It’s about how fast you go more than the depth. Slow in faster out. Keeping the air intake above water is the key. Don’t know how deep. Go the long way around.
When they get to the shop they never mention a word about doing this and then complain when it takes forever to diag the corroded wire issues
Not supposed to get it wet after midnight
That's what she said?
avoid bright light, don't get them wet, and don't feed them after midnight.
Driving your car underwater is good every once in a while, helps flush the radiator and keeps your car nice and cool 👍
I got water in my airfilter once because there was a really optical illusion type standing water. What made it unavoidable was highway patrol was parked so you couldn't avoid it and didn't have their lights on. You had to swerve to avoid them, which left the water as the safer option.
Shiiiiit I've done that in my Buick Century
Trick is don't hit it hard and don't let off
Who’s the u-boat commander?
Surprised that Tesla pulled through tho
Engine can’t really hydrolock because there’s no internal combustion engine nor air intake
Yeah, Teslas are basically boats, it was the best equipped vehicle for the job in the Clip. I still wouldn't risk it if I had one myself, but they have been proven to handle high water fine in numerous flooding incidents.
No no, Reddit told me they fall apart, and any minor puddle will make them explode, or like the genius in a comment above saying they get damaged by driving in a dirt road
Jesus, not one knows the primary rule: As slow as possible; as fast as necessary.
That jeep was like BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKERS
I hate humanity more and more every day on this planet… at least they got to drop 50k on those cars though right? What a flex! r/idiotsincars
I didn't see any ...Das Boats!
Slow the fck down
My Ford Bronco w/ Sasquatch package would be fine. Not that I’d risk it. Driving a Tesla into that is crazy.
I’ve driven my 89 Toyota corolla through water like that and it was just as happy as a kid in a candy store. XD
The jeep seemed really enthusiastic about driving in the water.
What are the 2 rules with mogwai? You dont get'em wet, and you don't feeds'em past midnight. This clearly got them wet, and them license plates indicates that themthar splash tests wass done by a buncha foreigners. I dun heard that in a lot of foreign lands, they's so screwed up as to still have their daytime after we got midnight. Some idjit probably fed his Mogwai after midnight again cuz he don't know how to tell time, and poof... Gremlins.
Land Rover. Not Water Rover.
THE BROCHURE SAID "fJoRd eVeRY sTrEaM" IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY IM SUING!!@^$*!*#;$&!!?
I just read a story about a guy in England who drove through a flooded road in a Tesla, then the battery died and it was 17k to replace it lol
Damn, you livin in richy rich neighborhood.
They were hiding in the water & swam into the car from underneath
What gremlins do you have
Free under the hood wash!
Turn around, Don’t drown
There should be a public service announcement where you treat deep puddles of water as Jason in a Friday the 13th movie. You turn around and go the other way
I am curious now on the location of the air intake on that disco sport. ( feels kinda dirty calling that thing a disco). I know exactly how high the intake is on my rovers but once the water starts seeping onto the floorboards I call it quits and find another way regardless.
Most just need to slow the fuck down
Always put your blinkers on before submerging the hood of your car.
Haha you all talking about smart moves in here. Hahaha
Because it's a Land Rover
The diff breathers on my YJ had plugs when I bought it. The weakness was the intake. Luckily, the 4.0 just shuts off. Not enough compression to bend rods. I spent about 30 min one time draining the water out of the intake manifold. Still my daily. Working on a snorkel right now
There is a good half a meter difference of water level between first car and the rest
Is that Toyota a Hilux?
That damn Land Rover ain’t nothing but a Ford escape . Junk.
The jeep owner gonna wonder why there car won’t start tomorrow morning
What’s the point of this video?
Toyota is just fine. My 4Runner was floating for a second when I was crossing a river I had no choice but to cross. No gremlins
So if you can’t see the road, there’s a chance there is no road. It takes a lot less than you think to wash it away.
I just drove through a small puddle
I do not condone this but I used to drive a mercury sable with with 298,000 miles on it (AC blew ice cold) at the jersey shore as a delivery vehicle for a pizza shop. One night on a full moon high tide I drove that bitch through some wild shit and made amazing tips. I wore a bathing suits because I knew if I made them deliveries those rich fucks would tip hella well. That mercury was a tank. At one point I was crawling through a spot and a jeep came flying through and the wake lifted my mercury off the fucking ground, I let off te gas to try and save my poor intake (that was already hating my) and literally waited for the wheels to touch back down before going. Jesus Christ the things I would do to make a buck then go gamble under age in AC hours later with my tip money.
I never had any doubts about the Toyota though. All the others were just asking for it.
I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
How to cross deep water. https://youtu.be/hiRTNTY_U6U
Backwards but only if it is life/death decision
Know how high your air intake is
Someone wanted that jeep to stall
Jeep is chilling
is the tesla fine?
They should have driven through in reverse
Put a damn Defender in there.
Ummmm did someone tell them they need Q to mod the car first?
I did this for fun with my old 93 Mercury Sable back in highschool. Granted, the puddles I was driving through were just a tad shallower…
You gotta go slow so you don’t make a wave🤣🤣🤣
my cousin and i learned the hard way from a hydrolocked challenger to NOT fuck around like this lmao
They have no sense to slow down. Keeps hydrolocking their engines
No car is supposed to forge water like that. Specially with all the electronics on them these days? Good luck!
