Dubai saw the heaviest rainfall in 75 years and the only vehicles that could still drive through its flooded streets were EVs.
Dubai got what was measured to be an entire year’s worth of rain in a single day—the heaviest rainfall it’s seen in 75 years. Since it’s such a rare occurrence, the city isn’t designed with enough drainage to cope with this much rain. Therefore, many streets became flooded and cars got stranded. But this didn’t stop some daring electric vehicle drivers who decided it was okay to power through what at times looked like over three feet of water.
Take this video we found of a Porsche Taycan going through water that at one point goes over its windscreen; a combustion engine car would have sputtered to a halt. In another video, we get a look from inside a Tesla as it drives through water that seems to almost go completely over the car. It undramatically gets out on the other side of the water and keeps driving, and its relaxed driver appears to be unfazed.
