I was watching this absolutely hysterical video of people thinking they could traverse this water (nearly all with completely dire results) and it made me think. Without an air intake, how would the MME perform? Mind you I don't think I have the guts or smooth brain to try this, but an interesting thought.

Just painful to watch but I can’t look away.

Does prove one theory though:

People stupid enough to drive through 3 feet of water are also stupid enough to try to start their cars after sucking water in the intake.

As for the Mach E? Obviously it wouldn’t stall, but you’d still get water inside the car and all your electronics will NOT like going under water. Expect corrosion where you don’t want corrosion.
