I’ve been in a flash flood. What started as a heavy rain became a msssive down pour. There were cars all around me blocking me in and I couldn’t drive out of it.

The car was submerged in less than 15 minutes. When the water started pouring in and the engine died, I knew the power windows would not work. The water pressure on the outside was too heavy to open the door.

I used the strongest part of my body, my legs, to kick the driver’s side window out. Thank God I was young, into gymnastics, dance, and cheerleading, because my legs were powerful back then.

If that happened now, I would drown.

Bullet proof glass? Forget about it.

you also have to factor in the panic that sets in.

the punch device apparently doesnt work with laminated glass. That glass is a safety feature to keep from shattering in a crash.

not sure how tesla people are suppose to get out of a submerged vehicle

this reporter tries to educate her watchers how to get out of the car. Note it is not laminated glass.

And I will say that just watching her submerge I know that I would be in full panic mode if it happened to me.
