Elon didn't say it was a boat. Only that it would be buoyant for a short period of time. MAINTAIN is not required. Frequent use might require periodic weather stripping replacement.

Weatherstripping for boat mode or to keep water out of the bed after water runs down the tonneau cover toward the tailgate prob the latter...sorry to kill this thread lol

The stripping may be there for boat mode, but it is also handy for 'normal' river crossings/flood situations.

Well, at least you'll have squat mode to dump it all out.

Had that happen when my Nissan was brand new while camping. It was parked very nose down and we had some heavy rains roll through. A long screwdriver and a hammer took care of the plastic covers over the holes real quick.
