How is Tesla's waterproof performance?
1 Answers
Tesla is less afraid of water than conventional fuel-powered vehicles. However, due to the complex composition of rainwater, which may cause corrosion and other effects on electronic components, it is advisable to avoid driving through water whenever possible. Below is a related introduction to Tesla's waterproof performance: 1. Good sealing: Since the electric motor of an electric vehicle operates in a completely sealed environment, there is no concern about water ingress. Additionally, the design requirements for the battery pack of electric vehicles mandate an IP67 or IP68 waterproof rating. This level of waterproof performance ensures that the battery pack can be submerged at least one meter underwater for a certain period without any issues. Therefore, even if the battery pack at the bottom of the car is completely submerged in water, there is little worry about water causing short circuits in the battery. 2. Waterproofing measures: The battery and circuit sections of electric vehicles are waterproofed, but this does not mean the vehicle can be driven into deep water like a submarine. If only considering the circuit and battery sections, short-term immersion should not be a problem. However, once the waterproof coating or seals age, the outcome becomes uncertain. Even if long-term immersion is not an issue, water can still enter the vehicle's interior, causing significant damage to the upholstery and other internal components.
