Teslas have watertight batteries and can even serve as a kind of boat.Aside from the smooth passage, it's notable that this Tesla appears to be a Model 3 Standard Range due to the vehicle's rear wheels apparently producing most of the car's power. The tram driver seemed to be pushing the Model 3 firmly, although he didn't accelerate too much to not lose control of the car after hitting parts of the road that weren't so flooded.

Possibly the car did not have any breakdown, nor is this type of situation a problem. These machines are exhaustively tested in different situations of this kind. In fact, it was even Elon Musk who mentioned in the past that the Teslas could serve as a kind of boat, since their propulsion units and batteries are sealed.

More recently, Musk noted that the Cybertruck would be a vehicle that would certainly feel right at home on the water. If these recent images of China are any indication, however, it looks like even the Model 3 could cross a flood decently in the same way.
