Those first two videos are a bit extreme - I obviously wouldn't have attempted either of those in the Outlander. I doubt I'd have attempted it in the Teslas, either. Those were big risks with minimal rewards in both examples. Thought the second was obviously a planned "Is this possible?" crossing.
I'm equal parts impressed and horrified. I know enough about electrics to be horrified at what water can do if it gets in your motor. Would the vehicle be covered under warranty if you inundated your motor doing this?
Everything is sealed, and generally water proof in general. I'm sure you've seen sump pumps, aquarium wave makers, fuel pumps...
Electric is so much more reliable than combustion. Literally it's only downside is the energy density of the batteries.
