Ineos has finally made it to Cadogan.
I feel this isn't going to end well.

A lot of people who were just about to buy one until this happened. LOL

Sarcasm has totally replaced content. He use to make some good videos. I stopped watching some time ago.

The one thing I’m learning from this whole episode is that many punters don’t realise that soft/partial ingestion (as described by @NQ94 #217) is a thing.

It’s like no one reads the Automotive Handbook any more.

Anyway back to the topic …
Why do so many assume it’s a water issue with the engine failure??
If it was water insurance would not cover it full stop and end of story
Insurance is for accidents, accidental damage
Driving intentionally into a river or s no accident it was intentional

I suspect that is why the video was deleted. In case the insurance company come to the same conclusion. If he drove that car through the same river that the other cars in the video crossed then he definitely ingested water.

People are not assuming that. I have posted a few times it is one possible cause - one actually supported by the videos posted. The cars went over the max wading depth, you see it in the video. It is the exact reason I bought a sealed snorkel after seeing the earlier video back around September.

No other explanation has been offered in the videos. But other possibilities could include damage from rocks on the track or river, or even branches spearing up under the car. None of which the videos mention. Nor do they discuss the max wading depth was exceeded.

The failure can occur some time (as in days) after the initial water ingestion and consequently be very difficult to definitively tie back to the original incident.

In WRC they used to call it “engine deep splash”. This incident has similar symptoms.

Full hydro-lock obviously is somewhat more straightforward as it happens either immediately or on next startup.
