If the BMW driver went slower he would have been fine

>>28602912 (OP)
You know, the alternate detour route only adds 7 miles to your trip. Maybe 15 minutes more.

Wait ‘till you see the clip of the MIATA gliding over the water.

Are we just gonna pretend that water doesn't fuck with the internals of an ELECTRIC vehicle?

>>28602912 (OP)
not pictured: the ev crapping out a few miles later because a droplet of water seeped into a circuit and shorted it out

Heavy water fucks everything on a car. Brakes suspension electricals radiators all of it. Filthy contaminated water seeping into every crack and seam. It's stupid to drive through water unless you absolutely need to. Probably triple as stupid to shove an over-computerized modern car in it.

Not pictured, 3 years later, the $14,500 bill for that teslas multiple ground fault diagnosis and PCM replacement. Not to mention the degradation of the doors and windows seals.

>>28602912 (OP)
Meanwhile inside tesla...

Yes your right BMWs don't have any electronics is a purely mechanical system

Same location

>>28602914
The issue with BMWs in this situation is the intakes being as close to the ground as possible for some reason.
They're usually at the very bottom of the front lips.

That being said, fuck fording water that deep with any car short of some absolute beater shitbox suv/truck. Imagine the mold from all that water.

not only is the miata the GOAT, but it's also a BOAT

And yet EVs catch fire at a rate several times less than ICEVs.

>>28603415
>And yet EVs catch fire at a rate several times less

Those numbers are the same Ev shit blog metrics you fags keep parroting that don't explain anything

>>28603417
For every EV that catches fire per million miles driven, several ICEVs catch fire when driven the same amount. Not sure how I can simplify it any more for you.

>>28603102
Is this what people do for fun when you take their guns away?

>>28603417

That proves literally nothing, everything in China spontaneously combusts if you look at it funny.

>>28603421
>For every EV that catches fire per million miles driven

Like I said, this metric isn't true and doesn't address the danger of EV fires vs ICE ones

A punctured EV battery kills its occupants instantly

>>28603425
>That proves literally nothing

It's a perfect example how fatal Lithium-ion batteries can be.

Keep pretending you dont understand how thats relevant

>>28603427

Nuh uh, they get locked inside their car and slowly burned alive, it's not instant.

Because you're too fucking stupid to do your own research?

I think you're just salty about ICEVs being inferior.

>>28603453
>about ICEVs being inferior.

They're inferior to your 99 iq brain because you've been swayed by marketing propaganda and popsci "EVs are the future" headlines

Anyone who can analyze beyond that sees that ICE us still objectively superior

Meanwhile in the real world, driving your tesla in the rain will cost you $21,000, not covered by warranty

>>28603438
the misleading thing about these kinds of statistics is that a catastrophic deflagration of a high energy density battery going up and an engine bay popping smoke are all counted the same as 'vehicle fires'

>>28603766
Bro, it's a battery. It has 1/10 the energy density of gassoline.

>>28603782
Kek and yet you can snuff out a gasoline fire by disrupting the fire triangle. With a battery fire, you're fucked and just need to watch it burn.

>>28603787
I'm sure when you're burning to death in a gas car, you'll be thankful the firefighters can use a little less water which literally falls out of the sky and 2/3 of the planet's surface is covered in.

>>28603748
Watch out guys it's the car druid

>>28603797
Just open the door? If the battery fails in a Tesla you have to go through a Rube Goldberg machine to get the door open

>>28603797
>I'm sure when you're burning to death in a gas car
Shit that literally doesn't happen unless you're fucking ancient or knocked unconscious, but go off queen.

You need to l e t e r a l l y submerge your EV shitbox in water for over a day to put it out.

You're such a disingenuous jeet faggot, it's amazing. I don't care about water conservation, you fucking rat, I care about the logistics of putting out one fire over the other. Your mode of transportation is flawed and shitty.

>>28603802
Just stop arguing with him. His argument is so retarded it has to be a troll. EV fires are so much worse than ICE ones it's ridiculous. As you know water makes lithium fires stronger. But car fires in general are rare as fuck, no one in this thread will ever be in one. It's not worth arguing about.

>>28603815
How does this have any relevance? He died from blunt force trauma before the car burned

>>28603424
We enjoy driving our cars, yes.

They're either an EV or an ICE. icev (pbuh) is a brainwashing by association attempt.

So then it should be an E. E vs ICE.

The problem is water got into the air intake. This isn't really a problem in first world countries.

One split battery pack with the EV and you have a lithium explosion.

What kind of retard buys a truck if he hasn't got a job that needs a truck to carry things around?

What kind of tradesman buys a truck with next to no carrying space, like that shitty thing?

Those "trucks" are for poser faggots. Accountants who sit all day at a computer feeling like a little bitch so they need to buy stupid shit that they think makes them Manly. Like Carhartt jackets and stupid "trucks" that couldn't fit a lawnmower in the back.

I doubt the ambient air temperature is that much different with a whopping 1 foot of elevation change.
I believe the real answer is to get a "ram air" effect and there not being much room for ducts in the front end otherwise.

The end goal of the lefts climate change agenda is to kill everyone and EVs help accomplish this goal by burning its users alive

You didn't get far enough into RC stuff. The gay ones at Walmart are electric, but the good ones literally run on nitromethane at like 30k+ rpm.

>>28620355
>You didn't get far enough into RC stuff.
Far in historical sense?
>the good ones literally run on nitromethane
The old ones. The one you posted is a flimsy Traxxas so probably a two decades old design at the very least.
Brushless electric beats nitro up to 1:7 scale easily, beyond that you usually get a proper 2-stroke gas ICE instead of nitro (because lol no power) and brushless is still competitive with it even in 1:5 scale. Becomes too heavy and expensive after that, so I guess that's where the reasonable boundaries for EVs are at the moment.

>>28603102
Tbh I'd just go around somewhere else. I like my car and it's not worth rolling the dice

>>28603102
Aww, look how happy it is :)

>>28620355
That's not entirely fair, Traxxas and the other big RC brands have been making hobby grade electric ones for decades, too. There's a reason Traxxas went with electric for the XO-1 and not nitro.

>>28602912 (OP)
Raise the air intake and it is no problem whatsoever
