This fire claim is everywhere in certain areas of the media but everything I’ve seen all tracks back to one politician’s tweet and a video of one vehicle which may or may not have been in a flood.

In my experience battery packs have to pass saltwater immersion tests plus 20 thermal shock cycles where the battery pack is heated to 90°C (190°F) and then quenched in 0°C saltwater to check the seal. It’s set out in a test standard.
(I don’t know how good Tesla (pictured) are at it , my experience is elsewhere)

Is there anything to support this from outside this one claim?

Missing from the clip, flood damage to the vehicle, battery corrosion, more than one car.

You guys out there will probably already know flood damage will mess up steering and all kinds of things so take care, electric or otherwise.
