no excuse imo. its a car. Its even stupider that it failed from rain (even bad rain) in a car park. Cars can deal with 1m water easily (most batteries are that high, the air intake for the engine is easily that high (I will ignore Lambos and similar, built for different purposes).
In the worst case for a ‘normal’ car (what is the TLA for them now?) a replacement battery would cost you a couple hundred bucks at most.
Even if water got into the intake, the whole overhaul would not cost $20k or whatever it was.
well aware of how it works. just a little dramatization for shits and giggles. But I disagree that it is an instant right-off. it can be salvageable 90% of the time.

Yeah, that is what I was trying to communicate.
Maybe some of them can, but that much water can wash a car off the road very easily.
If water gets into the intake the engine is a rightoff and often the car. You need to watch more bengreggors at the Ford matey.

On the dime of the company who produced the car?
