Cybertruck is waterproof enough to serve as a boat to cross rivers, lakes & calm seas -- confirms Musk 🚤

Will there be an option for paddle wheels and a rudder or will it come standard with a oar…lol. ?

I see some issues with saying it will float. People are going to want to prove it. How will salt water effect the truck?
I’m thinking the Tesla legal counsel may be thinking about quitting…
I love being a Tesla customer but I’m not so sure I would want to work in the legal department or engineering. I can see Scotty now…I’m giving her all I got captain. (Please stop making more promises…)

Surely he is joking.
The thing will weigh nearly 4 tons, and what will it use for thrust?

Easy fix

Hurricanes have a tendency to sink boats... And Elon did qualify that the water should not be "too choppy". I'm guessing most bodies of water in a hurricane would be "too choppy".

Perhaps it comes with a mast and sail!!

Perhaps the BAW is the mast!

Does anyone put any faith in the statement regarding the order of builds for the CT (Quad first at the very end of the article)? I know that has been a source of a lot of discussion in other threads.

As far as the waterproof statements: maybe one of the after-market accessories will be an add-on under chassis impeller unit (I'm only half joking).

The Quad-Motor is actually just a Tri-Motor, plus a propeller

That’s a pretty nice feature to have but shouldn’t tesla first see about delivery dates? It is already 2 years overdue and still no sign of delivery dates! very sad! Will this create even more complications and delays?? Please Tesla! Deliver what you promised and improve stuff later!

Disagree. I want my amphitruck!

Do you think they'll have offshore Superchargers

 

[SwampNut]

No, but it should be easy to fill the bed with water and then just go downhill long enough to recharge.

Lol I meant flooded areas

Importantly, will I be able to pull the right side of the CT into a fast moving stream with some paddle tires on to charge up for free?

It's not that kind of "current"

It's an alternative current?

This thread is quickly devolving, but I couldn't - ahem - resist.
