According to Elon Musk, the Tesla Cybertruck will float

You don’t believe it? Neither do we, but Elon Musk’s relentless pursuit of making the impossible possible is admirable.

“We will offer a package that allows the Cybertruck to traverse at least 100 meters of water while floating,” said Tesla CEO Elon Musk on X Monday. So will we soon be able to swim alongside a Tesla Cybertruck?

Elon Musk stated that Tesla plans to introduce a “tech package” that would enable it to operate like a boat over a reasonable 100 meters on the ground but is completely crazy in water for a 3-ton vehicle.

And as nothing is impossible for the flamboyant visionary, he added that it would suffice to “upgrade the door seals of the cabin.”

Totally crazy… actually not really. The BYD U8 unveiled this year is quite capable of floating on water while moving thanks to its wheel rotation. Yes, this incredible SUV, measuring 5.32 meters long and weighing 3.46 tons, can drift on water for 30 minutes at a speed of 3 km/h. Well, after that, a visit to the factory is necessary to bring all systems back into shape, but it remains impressive.

So, could this trick help the Cybertruck find its audience? “We’ve dug our own grave with the Cybertruck,” Musk said a few days before the first deliveries of the Cybertruck. “Special products that arrive from time to time are incredibly difficult to bring to market, to reach volume, to prosper.” Perhaps floating will make it easier after all.
