FULLY OR PARTIALLY SUBMERGED VEHICLES

FULLY OR PARTIALLY SUBMERGED VEHICLES
Treat a submerged Model 3 like any other submerged vehicle. The body of Model 3 does not present a greater risk of shock because it
is in water. However, handle any submerged vehicle while wearing the appropriate PPE. Remove the vehicle from the water and
continue with normal high voltage disabling.
Warning: Handling a submerged vehicle without appropriate PPE can result in serious injury or death.

PUSHING ON THE FLOOR PAN

The high voltage battery is located below the floor pan. Never push on the floor pan inside Model 3. Doing so can breach the high
voltage battery or damage the high voltage cables, which can cause serious injury or death.
