LOL… the Toyota Corolla in the background clearly had no issue driving through that water.

    Ehhh, the OG air intake on my RAV4 with 30" tires isn’t much higher than that from the ground. Just a little bit of water sucked in that way will cause problems.

    Having said that, a simple snorkel solves that and I don’t have to flip a switch to use it.

    ETA: watching the video, you also have to wait 10 minutes for the ride height adjustment and the batteries to pressurize…

    ETA2: self-destruct is a really shitty descriptor. The video is not that damning at all. I’m not a fan of the CT, but this is just a BS sensationalized article.

      +1 for adding a snorkel/d-breather. Costs something like $150, easy weekend project, then you have a permanent “wade mode” that actually works.
