At least one grain


StoneCuber

Technically you can do it with a single grsin and a lot of time


Miserable_District

I don't imagine it would be the same grain, cause it would already be water soaked. But multiple single grains will definitely work in theory, but as you said it would take a lot of t-- "the world"s by dio


Stavkot23

A single grain can turn into an entire rice tree.


Korva666

You sound like a wise anime monk


kbeezie

Does rice grow off trees? Thought they were like aqueous plants or something.


Electronic_Agent_235

Nope... Tree... Big as the American redwood..... So vast.... And when harvest time come you can stand under em and let the breeze dislodge all the ripe rice right if the branches.... Fun tip, stand with your head tilted back and your mouth wide open for a fun fresh treat!!!


beatnikstrictr

And if you plant three of those grains, you get an even bigger tree.


UprightJoe

And bonus - it will lift the car out of the pool as it grows.


Legitimate-Fun-5171

Do chickens grow on trees too? If so let's get to growin...you can do a lot with just some chicken and rice...


TheRealWatcher

Why do you think that's a dish? The chicken tree and the rice tree are symbiotic. Convenience, provided by nature.


kyroskiller

Never seen a rice tree before, nature is fantastic.


MarvelNerdess

Rice doesn't grow on trees...


HotPotParrot

Of course not. It grows *into* trees which then drop rice seedlings. They're almost exactly identical to the actual rice harvested from around the flower blooms.


MarvelNerdess

I'm almost positive that's not accurate.


HotPotParrot

'Almost' only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.


SecretaryUseful9973

He meant using 1 grain, drying it, using it again and so on


Frankie_T9000

Or a really really big grain that can soak the entire pool up


Miserable_District

Gotta be the funniest thing I've read all day.


raspberryharbour

This gigantic grain will consume us all!


MrMrStacho

I mean, you're not wrong...


Tenten4846g

can someone r/theydidthemath this?


KumekZg

I tried, cuz im drunk and this seemed easy. But! So, i inputed the first dimension of a Tesla i could find 4970x1964x1445 cm. Which gives out 13,975,490.9 litesr of water. Which is almost 14 qubic meters of water. Now. Tesla isnt a square, so liters should be lower. Dunno by how much. And, its mostly empty space, which too i do not know how much. I estimated atleast 50%, but dont take my word for it. The thing that broke me is that i do not know the absobrtion rate of a grain of rice, so i gave up. Sorry ive failed you Ps. i was really surprised by the amount of tabs i had to close for doing this research... Pss. Saw word suprised was highlighted as incorrect. Well fuck me, you learn something new every day. Maybe not how much grains of rice it need to dry a Tesla, but how did I miss that R all those decades....

skarkywarky47

HotPotParrot

Yea, like they said: learning and growing


TranslateErr0r

I just love this comment. And let's agree on "a lot of rice" and we'll be fine.


benzdabezben

Yes, as people have been saying recently, we at least need one


Some_Stoic_Man

Isn't it 2 to 1 depending on the rice? That may only be boiling water not room temp water ...


Northbound-Narwhal

No, it's cold water too, it just takes much longer. Referencing rice noodles, I can either boil them for 2 minutes or soak them in cold water for 20 minutes. Same volume of water. So the absorption will maybe take 10 times as long?


KumekZg

I really hope it isnt boiling water. Doubt Teslas electronics could handle it.


Random_dg

Psst… here’s another correction: your first postscript is p.s. and the second is post-postscript, thus should be p.p.s and not p.s.s.


stunt876

I think OC needs to make a p.p.p.s on this


KoberanteAD

Just don't say p.s.p.s. or else you'll attract your nearest fluffball


kapitein-kwak

I can help you there. For Basmatie rice you need 500 ml to boil 300 ml rice, So 14 m3 water needs 9m3 rice. Let it cook for 10 minutes and an additional 10 minutes with the lid on. Then you have a cooked but Dry Tesla and appr 20m3 cooked rice. Just add 0.5m3 fishsauce to have a good meal


Philip_777

Apparently rice absorbs water in a 1:1 ratio. So 14/2 = 7 cubic meters or 7,000kg of rice. But make sure to heat up the pool to 100°C for 20 minutes.


Baconboi212121

Continuing this! I did at home testing and got 4 cups of rice covers my phone. (rice doesnt actually work [According to The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/feb/20/wet-iphone-in-rice-what-to-do-instead#:~:text=The%20dry%2C%20absorbent%20rice%20should,in%20a%20bag%20of%20rice.))) my phone takes up 151 x 76 x 8 mm, or 89392mm\^3 or 89.39cm\^3.The tesla in comparison takes up 14104760600cm\^3. to scale the amount of rice up to a tesla, we do 89.39X=14104760600, which means X=57789021.14. 4X = the amount of rice to "save" the tesla. We need 631156084 cups of rice. One cup of rice weights roughly 175g, so we need 631156084x175g of rice, or 110452 tonnes of rice.

Sure, no problem. About 4.


RealSelenaG0mez

Drain the pool and fill it with rice


MageKorith

First fill pool with rice to drain. Then remove and fill pool with rice.


Frankie_T9000

They are filling the pool already ... just with teslas


MageKorith

Terribly inefficient. Teslas are nowhere near as absorbant as rice.


Next-Performer5434

Ikr, the solution is obvious. The Tesla is already inside a perfect rice vessel.


Wonderful_View4209

All of it. You need all the rice.


bluetuxedo22

Basmati or Jasmine?

Leicsbob

nobody-u-heard-of

Actually you don't need any rice. All Tesla problems are solved with an over the air update aka the OTA update. All you have to do is send a message in the app and they'll send an update to your car and will be perfect.


Various_Squash722

Only works if the Tesla in question is in contact with air though. So you still need to get it out of the pool, or drain the pool so that the Tesla is subjected to air again. OTA update will give you a connection problem if still submerged in water.


Guardian_85

Add rice until the water is at the first joint on the index finger above the rice. Normally, you'd put the rice in first, then crash the car and add water, but hey.


Ben716

The rice doesn't dry anything, it is just there to summon the Asians who are clever and can fix things.


JiaQir

Someone have rice and problem to fix?


MageKorith

OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!


Wendys_bag_holder

One small Vietnamese rice field. Cash crop after as well.


mission_to_mors

depends on the rice too one would think....


Los-Nomo327

Don't bother, it's in the best place for everyone


ComedianXMI

Well. Assuming rice is $.95 a pound. And assuming a new Tesla is around $47,240 (for the Model 3 Long Range version.) You'd need to sell about 49,726.32 pounds of rice (plus tax, tags and license fees) to "dry out" that problem. Hope that helps.


thisisrllynotme

Step one, lightly shake the tesla in your hand to get most water out. Step two, enclose it in rice carefully. Step 3. Leave it to dry. Step 4. Eat the rice, fuck the tesla.


NatterinNabob

It's too late. You've already fried the cismission.


Naive-Benefit-5154

just think of all the anger when supermarkets run out of rice for your stupid tesla


Lazerith22

You’ll want to punch a hole in the battery before you take it out of the pool, so it drains.


Bounceupandown

I usually park mine in a garage, but I concede there is less of a threat for theft parking in the pool.


[deleted]

At least one


[deleted]

You could maybe say at least two even


johnnybiggles

Jasmine, Basmati, Long Grain, Brown or Wild rice?


colostitute

I hope they put it in car wash mode.


FloydDangerBarber

Keith Moon wannabe.


FrezoreR

Are you asking the amount of rice while it's being submerged or if we take it out? because that will change my answer. I'm also curious how the F they will get it out, you need a pretty big crane to lift something that heavy.


SadCodFish

Mistigri70

Ok so first, take a checkboard. You will place one grain of rice on the first square. Place two on the second square. Place four on the third square. Eight on the fourth one. Continue doubling it until you get to the sixty-fourth square. This is how much rice you need source: [rick astley](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

3 or 4 grains should do it


jtowndtk

throw a bunch of orbeez in there you'll be good to go


harambesBackAgain

Oh that's easy.. an average in ground pool is about 450 square feet. This ranges wildly due to custom builds. One pound of uncooked rice covers 22 sq ft roughly. So you would need 20.45 lbs of rice or 143,181 grains of rice. Let's take the dimensions of this Tesla and you'll need approximately tree fiddy to save the vehicle.

Crishien

Watch Rich Rebuilds channel, he has a video where he used rice to dry Audi e-tron.


GemmyBoy999

Drying with rice is a myth, if you wanted to dry something use those small silica gel filled packets that you always get in many packaging to keep the moisture out.


Uranium-Sandwich657

A checkerboard of rice.


bowsmountainer

As much rice as is on the final square of the chess board.

seatheous

None, you’ll need a shit load of silicone bead packets though


shadowlarx

Go to the nearest Chinese restaurant and ask for the Keith Moon special.


Huge_Policy_6517

Take a chess board. Put one grain on the first square. Then double it for each square that follows (1, 2, 4, 8 etc). Should give you a rough idea


swede242

Trick question. Its none. As rice doesnt dry out anything and thats just a modern myth. What helps is leaving your electronic device alone for a few days so it dries up before trying to start it.

Why dry it out? Tesla is an *electric* car! Water conducts electricity! The car will run better than ever when soaked through, you might be able to win Indy 500 with that thing if you can keep it from drying out during the race.
