I swear I remember Tesla bragging about how they can turn into boats during deep water emergencies. The wheels being used as propellers, and the chassis being light enough to float. Feels like a fabrication of my mind now that I'm thinking about it...
- agloe_dreams 3y agoOh it's a fabrication of a mind, just not yours.
- choxi 3y agoyou might be thinking of Elon’s claim that the CyberTruck would be semi-amphibious
- nickik 3y agoMultiple videos of that sort of thing happening came out. Tesla driving threw high water. Musk commented something that for a short period they could float but in general they said this wasn't a supported features and don't do it. Then for the Cybertruck Musk said it should actually be able to float. But it was said as 'we are shorting for this' not 'this is a feature count on this'. As it stands this would void warranty. Tesla certainty not ever suggested that they could turn into boats in emergency situations.

Musk also said "the driver is only in the seat for legal reasons - the car is driving itself". We need an almanac for "Which Musk statements are to be taken at face value, and which aren't"...
