Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup truck will have the ability to “float for a while”, which will allow you to cross streams without fear of damaging anything in it.
It should be noted that Elon Musk has been, albeit discreetly, bragging about the ability of Tesla vehicles to float or even "act like a boat" for short periods of time for some time now.
A few years ago, the Electric resource reported that a Tesla Model S crossed through a flooded tunnel. In a commentary on this news, Musk said at the time: “We definitely do not recommend doing this, but the Model S swims well enough that it can be turned into a boat for a short time. Traction is through the rotation of the wheel. He said that the battery located in the lower part of the body of the electric car is completely sealed, and this allows the pickup truck to move in the water for some time without any consequences.
Elon Musk is a skilled marketer. Although not recommended by the company, the Model S's ability to act as an amphibious vehicle for a short time has given drivers confidence in the reliability of its electric vehicles.
And when one of the fans of fishing and hunting asked Musk on Twitter if it would be possible to cross streams on the Tesla Cybertruck without fear of damaging anything, he answered in the affirmative: “Yes. He (Cybertruck) will even float for a while.” Musk also promised that the Cybertruck would get a heat pump like the Model Y.
