Crazy that people would do that voluntarily!

Interestingly I wonder if it's an issue of just a difference between the two designs in terms of scenarios its optimized for (a.k.a. there's a tradeoff).

If the EV's skateboard battery water seal is functioning perfectly then EV will perform well, perhaps better than a traditional design ICE/EV/PHEV platform.

If the EV's skateboard battery water seal has been compromised, then due to its relatively low placement, a lower than normal water levels may cause significant damages.
