Elon Musk wants to turn Cybertrucks into boats

Tesla's Cybertrucks finally landed at the end of November, and as well as being faster than Porsche 911s the giant, gleaming monstrosities also come with bulletproof doors and several different trims.
But there are some things they can't do, and one of those things is turn into a boat. At least, not yet.
Earlier this week, Tesla owner Elon Musk teased a future mod for the Tesla Cybertruck that will apparently allow it to – you guessed it – traverse water.
"We are going to offer a mod package that enables Cybertruck to traverse at least 100m of water as a boat," Musk posted on X. "Mostly just need to upgrade cabin door seals."
Admittedly the sentence "mostly just need to upgrade cabin door seals" doesn't fill the heart with confidence, and when combined with the many delays the Cybertruck itself faced we can't imagine the Cyberboat is going to be seeing the light of day anytime soon.
Would having a car that briefly becomes a boat serve any practical purpose whatsoever? Almost certainly not, but then again practicality probably isn't top of the Cybertruck owner wishlist.
Heavy steel body frame, bullet proof windows, extreme water pressure….what could go wrong?
ReplyDeleteTesla submarine Titan wannabe
It'd make a great anchor.
ReplyDelete*** Ill challenge him to invent it , and have him tested personally on the first shipment..."" then will talk.....
ReplyDeleteWhat about the people who don't live nearby a lake or ocean ... This feature is useless ... And you call this guy a genius
ReplyDeleteSo Elon has been decided to build a new version of the Nazi Shwimmwagen
ReplyDeleteThe vehicle has a radical new design. It just never should have been called a pickup. It’s going to be that beast on the roads we saw with the Hummer H2. Engineers can convert anything into a boat. But will it fly?
ReplyDelete"Mostly just need to upgrade cabin door seals."
ReplyDeleteAnd for actual propulsion, what are you going to do, stick your hands out the window and paddle?
Because if there's one thing we know works out great for boats, it is large and uneven gaps between body panels.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he should focus on making a truck that actually works first.
ReplyDeleteI am so tired of hearing what Elon Musk wants.
ReplyDeleteHe should make it a boat and then try to make it a car.
ReplyDeleteWell he’s already ruined the look of cars, why not hit the boats and planes next?
ReplyDeleteElon Titanic 😱🙈😂

Boat ⚓️ best suited
ReplyDeleteWill somebody please take away his weed??!!
ReplyDeleteWell, they're already sinking so...
ReplyDeleteDumb
ReplyDeletePuko lik ko lajsna…
ReplyDeleteÄŒelik, 1.6 milimetara, otporan na metak…
I sad brod…
Ko lajsna
I can’t wait to see the size of the floats needed to keep that 7000 pound monster above water.
ReplyDeleteJames Bond already did it.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure he didn't mean submarine
ReplyDeleteI guess the design for a truck wasn't all that.
ReplyDeleteIf it floats, he's a witch.
ReplyDeleteA fool is always wrong, isn’t he??
ReplyDeleteMasterful Gambit, Sir.
ReplyDeletethat 3 tonne battery is gonna need a buoyancy aid
DeleteBecause Tesla already has such a stellar track-record with things like exploding wet batteries, and mismatched body panels. I say go for it.
ReplyDeleteignorance is not a good thing
Deleteyou're right. He should stop making cars, completely.
Deleteagree… other should just get banned from social networks
Deleteyes, actual true opinions is definitely poisoning the internet, and corrupting America. Let's start with the absolute psychopaths that post selfies 1,000 times in their profile. They're the worst!
DeleteI'm guessing you own a Tesla. I'm so sorry.
wouldn’t you like to own Tesla stock instead of relying on Social Security?
DeleteLOL. I'm 56 and I retired a few years ago. Paid off my house, and bought a couple of GOOD cars, and an RV. Now I travel around going to concerts. Check my profile. You be you, though - but you know those Tesla builds are garbage, and Elon Musk didn't start that company or invent anything.
Deleteand yet the richest man in the world and now Space X is 180B market cap… I like The Cure and Tenacious D
DeleteThere's photos from both of those shows on my page. Had Pit tickets for The Cure, and was in the third row at Red Rocks for Tenacious D - both stellar shows!
DeleteYou know that's just his daddy's trust fund that he's blowing through.. And he bought Twitter just for the pedestal, but nobody is in his audience anymore. He's all ego, and no value. Unfortunately, people worship the rich, for no other reason than being a trust fund baby, prone to tantrums.
DeleteI think he should follow his dreams to colonize Mars-by himself-right now
ReplyDeleteOnly 1% of the population can afford.
ReplyDeleteJust flip it upside-down and see if it floats.
ReplyDeleteHe can't even turn them into functional trucks...
ReplyDeleteothers can’t even cook
DeleteThey’re barely trucks. Does he think that they’re Arks? Probably.
ReplyDeleteyeah yeah. He talked of flying teslas using compressed air......geniass

DeleteThank me later
Step 1: Turn it into a car.
ReplyDeleteWell, all his ideas are sinking lately so why not?
ReplyDeleteJust stay away from his stuff. Things always go wrong with them.
ReplyDeleteLeast they won’t have to worry about the water putting the fires out

Good for areas that flood. And boarder crossings. Lol.
ReplyDeleteCyberboat Pro Sinker
ReplyDeleteGee. Water and electricity?!
ReplyDeleteyou don't think there's ships that use electricity?
DeleteBut, their electricity is not right there - on the water.
