A Flooded Tesla in Jordan Is Going Viral After Yesterday’s Heavy Rain

Jordan just got a serious splash of winter, and the internet can’t stop talking about it. After heavy rain hit the country, a video of a Tesla braving the floodwaters in Zarqa went viral, and let’s just say, people had thoughts!

Tesla made waves in Zarqa

Yesterday’s downpour turned Zarqa’s streets into rivers, and one white Tesla found itself in the spotlight. The car was spotted partially submerged, but still moving, earning it the nickname ‘the swimming Tesla’ from amused onlookers. The video, complete with dramatic commentary like “the Tesla is in swimming mode,” quickly made the rounds online, showing just how wild the weather got.

Jordanians kept spirits high

Even with water rushing down the streets and cars struggling to get through, Jordanians didn’t let the rain get them down. Another trending video showed kids splashing and playing in the flooded streets, laughing and making the most of the soggy situation. The phrase ‘غرقنا؟’ (Are we drowning?) popped up everywhere, but it was all in good fun—because if there’s one thing Jordanians know how to do, it’s find the silver lining.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more relatable, memes started popping up comparing life in Jordan to living under the sea—cue the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song! With rain, floods, and a viral Tesla, Jordan’s winter mode is officially on, and the internet is loving every minute.
