Man Clings to Submerged Tata Nexon EV During Flood, Video Shows Emotional Bond With Vehicle
A viral video shows a man clinging to his submerged Tata Nexon EV during a flood while trying to save the vehicle. The emotional rescue attempt, involving a JCB and a flood-affected area, has gained millions of views as social media users react to his courage and attachment to his car.
The video begins with a man holding onto the tailgate of a car that is almost completely submerged in floodwater, creating the impression that the vehicle’s door may have been detached. Despite the dangerous conditions, the man refuses to let go and continues holding firmly onto the vehicle.
As the video progresses, a JCB machine is seen pulling the flood-affected car out of the water. The man later assists in the recovery effort, remaining alongside the vehicle and helping the JCB remove it from the affected area. Even while standing chest-deep in water with the floating car, he continues holding onto the vehicle in an attempt to save it.
The video has gained millions of views on social media platforms and continues to receive further attention. Many users have expressed empathy for the car owner, with several describing the scene as heartbreaking. Others have appreciated the man’s courage and his emotional connection with his four-wheeler companion.
The vehicle featured in the video is an older version of the Tata Nexon EV. Despite being submerged in water, several functions of the electric vehicle appear to remain operational. The vehicle’s lights are still switched on, while the wipers continue functioning.
The car appears to be the MY2020 version of the Tata Nexon EV, which comes equipped with a 30.2 kWh battery pack and offers a driving range of approximately 300 kilometres on a single charge. The current version of the electric SUV is available with a starting price of Rs 12.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
The incident has drawn attention to the deep emotional connection many owners share with their vehicles, with the viral footage showing a rare moment where a person’s attachment to a car goes beyond ownership and becomes a matter of personal sentiment.
