R1T demonstrates water fording in 40+ inches of water!

Watching it just plow through this much water is super impressive! I would never attempt such a thing in the real world, but cool it can take on some water with no problems!

With that bow wave it needs a prow. Or, maybe a flying angel hood ornament to ride just above the water.

my neighbor would still manage to get stuck getting into her driveway in the snow with this....

Only playing that is amazing. Love the updates we are getting.

That is awesome. I’ve probably never driven through more than a few inches of standing water but to know that I could drive through 40”+ of water is insane.

holly smoke; what a perfect time to test it to simulate during flood.

The next question is what's the EPA range driving through 40 inches of water.

wild that it's obvious they just built that "water test pit" themselves very recently - perhaps on Normal, IL property. must be nice to have near endless funding to develop a new vehicle

Next thing to test... can the truck bed seal tight enough to fill with H2O and power off the battery as a hot tub? ?

I guess it depends if you are going up river or down…

Not many palm trees and mountains around normal.

looks like maybe Arizona proving grounds.

Except for the vegetation, that looks like a Portland-area road in Springtime. ???

I must know or I’m canceling

Honestly pretty awesome. I’ve gone through two feet while white knuckling the steering wheel. I feel like I want a yard stick to check the depth like I’m sailing the shoals.

Given that they’ve mentioned the limiting factor in wading depth is the vehicle will start to float… no problem ?

Lonestar, I wish IL had palm trees and hills like that, definitely different than the test pad on the video in the stories. That does look like fun though wherever it is! ?

I’m pretty sure this is Parting of the Red Sea at Universal Studios before they “closed” it to the public. Maybe they now use it for R1 testing?
