Eli5: Why wouldn’t a submerged Tesla just electrocute everyone?

852 viewsEngineeringOther

Video keeps showing up on [TikTok ](http://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8vYsWq1/) of a Tesla driving partially submerged.

Why isn’t this a story of hairdryer meets bathtub and that dude in the back isn’t toast?

Everyone’s favourite unibrowed electrical engineer has a video explaining how the “electrocution in water” thing is mainly a myth, and plays in a bowl of water with live wires to test his theories. It’s very entertaining, and quite enlightening.

Remember that YouTube exists so we don’t have to try these things at home for ourselves!
