He should have bought a proper car, not a Wilmslow panzer.

In a world full of people that never lift a bonnet, all have no idea where the air intake is and so this sort of show is inevitable.
Even the EV is not exempt, most warranties do cover flooded battery compartments, a delayed problem usually exceeding or equal to the cost of a replacement flooded IC engine.
I blame the people helping to pull them out. If they didn't, after the first few have blocked the road, then no others can pass and no further problems, simple

Notice how the people who drove through slow and steady made it through without a problem and the ones who had too much speed didn’t.

Clearly it separates the people who know how to drive from the plonkers.

And that is why I won't drive through water deeper than the bottom of my rims. There's always going to be a way round or over and if not I'll find higher ground and wait.

So true. The Audi drew in water because it was going fast enough to push water up over the bonnet. When it came to a stop you could see the actual depth was barely up to the bottom of the doors. Judging by the fence rails the water got a fair bit deeper later on.

Gen3 Jimny wading depth is a mere 200mm, if remember correctly.  The air intake is a lot higher than that but the gearbox breather won't be.
