What is the wading depth of the Tesla Model 3?

[MacTanner]

Tesla Model 3, although an electric vehicle, has a certain wading capability. The maximum safe wading depth for Tesla is approximately 138mm, which just submerges the chassis battery. However, the limited wading depth is not solely due to the battery. Even if the entire new energy vehicle is submerged in water, the battery will not encounter issues within 30 minutes. More relevant information is as follows: Note 1: Since the Tesla Model 3 lacks an exhaust system, it can be considered that submerging up to the chassis is the maximum wading depth. However, reaching the chassis is already the limit. If the water level rises above the chassis to the lower gaps of the doors, water will enter the cabin. Note 2: According to current standards, new energy vehicles can only ensure safety during brief wading. If a new energy vehicle remains submerged in water for an extended period, there is still a risk of spontaneous combustion. For new energy vehicles, the repair costs for the entire vehicle can be very high.
