Did you know that water and air reacts with batteries used in this electric cars and it acts almost as fuel for lithium and it created big explosions, you can even test this yourself with opening small lithium batteries and putting them in water inside.
Now you can only imagine what would happen if water from this fake Tesla truck-boat-submarine gets inside this huge battery packs.
Things things are hazard and dangerous for everyone who drives in them, they should not allow kids to be inside.

This one was burning for days, they spent 1500 gallons of water and it was still burning:

Someone has to tell Elon Musk to test drive his new truck in sea water 

With the giga press being delivered to the newly constructed Texas facility, it’s only a matter of time now until Tesla is able to produce the most innovative vehicle since the Model T. Such a massive engineering advancement, only forward thinking individuals can even grasp what innovation is occurring. The article goes into a bit of detail about what a beast of a machine the giga press is. This was the final piece of the puzzle for the Texas factory and they’re now expecting production to only be a few months away. They have so many preorders though, I think a realistic date for myself to be behind the wheel of one of these beauties is probably late 2024.

Competition: makes and sells electric pickup trucks
Elon: tweets about an electric pickup truck that can also be a boat even though no one is planning to use it as a boat

Yeah I don't think that's "ahead". If I tweet about a space ship slash submarine, that doesn't make me "ahead" of SpaceX.

I don’t think anyone is planning to use a cybertruck as a boat. It’s just a cool feature that shows once again how far ahead of the competition Tesla is. What I do think it will be good for is situations where a little water can leave you stranded or at the risk of paying high fees. Where I live it isn’t uncommon for roads to be impassable in heavy rainstorms because the roads weren’t meant to handle drainage well due to the lack of rain year round. They even have a law called the stupid motorist law for vehicles that get stuck in washed out roads.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stupid_motorist_law

With a cybertruck, not only will this law not be a concern to your pocketbook, but not being stranded may save the lives of your family in an emergency. If Elon’s trolling you too hard with this latest proclamation, just wait til he starts touting it’s ability to handle bioweapon attacks.

 . I think Elon should just concentrate on making a viable vehicle first without all this pie in the sky nonsense which will only delay the truck. Nobody needs a car that's also a boat but if he wants to waste time on that it's something he can think about as another addition after the actual truck is ready, but it's obviously just a fantasy at this point and he needs to concentrate on making sure the truck isn't one too. All he needs to do is get this thing road legal and in production and it's a mega win for him just as long as the it's not ludicrously priced so much so that nobody actually buys the thing.

This talk about props and hubs sounds like they're thinking of selling a "boat package" for $25k extra and as part of that they could throw in some life vests too. But I would like to see an insurance quote on a vehicle that can "briefly" serve as a boat LOL

The idea is dead in the water, pun intended, like most of Musk's stoned tweets, but CT desperately needs PR now that actual electric trucks are on sale already.

Guess he watches too much Top Gear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVjo6YOT3Zg

Local authorities are going to be drooling over the amount of money in fines they are going to make when people put a vehicle in the water that does not meet coast guard safety standards and does not have the appropriate safety equipment on board. Does not matter if it's a cybertruck or a bunch of logs tied together to make a raft once it's above a certain size and weight and is floating in open water you better have a hull number, life vests, flares and so on. And don't forget the proof that you took a boater safety class.

*I* got dinged in AZ helping a friend launch his boat at Salt River because he pulled the truck away and I looped the boat to shore without loading the vests and safety equipment. The only thing that saved me was the fact that I could whip out my NY boater safety card followed by some jagoff in a jet ski that came whipping by with a radio so loud I think they heard it Phoenix so he decided to stop yelling at me and take it out on him.

Elon shared some details about how he thinks "boat mode" would work on the Cybertruck.  His ideas range from an "electric propeller mounted on the tow hitch" to a "a creative wheel hub design that can generate meaningful thrust."  I think the wheel hub design idea is probably enough to cross the 477 meter channel that Musk wants the Cybertruck to be able to cross, but seeing people stop and slap an electric propeller on their Cybertruck before crossing the ship channel would also be fun to watch.  Let's hope Elon makes this happen, although I can't see myself ever conning a Cybertruck across a body of water.  You never know...

It will need propulsion and steering in water though... maybe they can use the giant wiper blade as a rudder.

Come to think of it, they could also make the wiper blade spin really fast and make it a flying car. Musk is a genius.

I think we can see where this is going. There is no way CT can be road-legal in some (or most) countries so they make it a boat. Boats tend to be large, heavy, slow... perfect pivot.

Yes.  This isn't the first time he's claimed that Teslas are waterproof to some extent and the fact that this seems to be a design choice he's made now and he even gives a specific use case of traveling from Starbase to South Padre Island, I do believe him.  I can't wait to see these things skiing along the channel.  I'll admit the idea of a chunk of steel floating across a body of water seems a little crazy, but no less crazy than sending people to Mars.  I believe he'll do that also.  I do enjoy the doubters though.  Hopefully they can talk some folks out of their preorders so I can get mine sooner.

And you really believe this crap Musk is saying?  
I guess soon you will be able to use it as a time machine, just like in Back to the future movie.

Why don't you check what Tesla owners in Norway are doing with their hunger strikes, yes you heard it correctly they hunger strike because their Tesla electric car is so ''great''.

Oh and never forget all that shitshow Musk did with Bitcoin.

This morning Elon tweeted more news about the Cybertruck.

“Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren’t too choppy“
&
“Needs be able to get from Starbase to South Padre Island, which requires crossing the channel”

I think it’s been teased before that the Cybertruck will be waterproof for short periods of time but being advertised as having the ability to briefly function as a boat is pretty interesting. This is going to be one hell of a vehicle.

The latest Cybertruck news of the day...
A prototype Cybertruck has been spotted in pretty bad shape on the side of the road.  The article doesn't seem to detail what happened to it, but it's safe to say they're doing some ongoing testing on this beast.  Love to see it...

Elon seems focused on his AI update for Halloween, but I suspect after that it will be all Starship & Cybertruck news for several months with perhaps some Tesla Bot teasers sprinkled in. 

You sound like you're in a cult.


It's a vehicle, not a Picasso. A utility vehicle at that, and not like a collectible rare edition right hand drive Ford Pinto. If it costs beyond what comparable vehicles plus any unique features are worth, it's a shit deal no matter how you twist it. I mean the brick shape might be worth a million bucks to you and you're welcome to waste your money on it, but that's not objective value.

Because Elon Musk said so, and every word coming from his mouth is true right? Right??
Remember his Bitcoin stunt and circus show with dogecoin, he is doing the same thing with Twitter and everything else, so why would cars be any different.
I basically think this truck will be perfect tracking machine and you probably won't be able to drive it when Elon clicks his shutdown button from his satellite, but who am I to say anything if someone likes that.
Enjoy tesla trucking... honk honk!

I have no problem being a Tesla fanboy.  They make awesome products.  I've found that typically it's the people who have never owned a Tesla product, like suchmoon, that just hate on things because they are miserable people.  It's no wonder these types of people go around spreading negative feedback everywhere.  The misery they seek is within and not coming from Tesla, but they would rather hate on those that are doing things than acknowledge that they are themselves of little to no value.  The Cybertruck is a massive step forward in vehicle production and so of course smart people know it will be badass.  It doesn't take a genius, just someone who understands production and what innovations are being implemented on this vehicle.  As for the retail price issue...  "If you have to ask how much it costs you probably can't afford it," is a quote that comes to mind. 

Tesla does or doesn't care? I don't believe they built a factory solely for Cybertucks but even if they did I'm sure they will just produce other models there if it doesn't go into full production. I'm not a 'tesla hater' either. More of a Cybertruck realist, but it sounds like you might be one of the Tesla fanboys suchmoon mentioned above. How do you know it's going to be badass? I really hope it is, believe me. I've said in this very thread I don't think there's a vehicle I'd like to own more right now and would buy one today if it was around 50k and looked like the prototypes, but is it going to be? I really hope the thing is a success as I don't think I've seen more of a futuristic and individualistic vehicle but I think there's dozens of things that could go wrong with this or stop it from being a huge success. They really need to keep the costs down but I struggle to see how they can make a profitable car at a reasonable price. In its current form it almost certainly won't be road legal in Europe and many other countries without some significant design changes and I can't see what changes could be made to make it safe without completely changing the design/look. I'm really hoping Elon can get all the issues worked out and would happily love my cynicism of the project to be proved wrong but I am very sceptical. There just seems to be far too many issues and things holding it back without the original design being greatly compromised or going way over the stated retail price.

Never make it to production? They just built an entire factory for it… I get that hating on other people’s products is a bit of a theme around here, but Tesla care what haters on this forum think. The Cybertruck is going to be made, it’s going to be badass, I’m going to own one (if I can stay alive long enough) and what I’m most looking forward to is all the hate from people who don’t understand what an amazing innovation the exoskeleton is. I just hope they produce mine before these things start turning smart cars into pancakes and Tesla is forced to stop producing them.

As I said before, I'd be very surprised if it was released at that cost price or anywhere near it. How can it possibly be the cheapest Tesla? It wouldn't surprise me if it ends up being one of the most expensive if not the most expensive. I'm sure it will be more close to 100k than 40. I also don't think I'd be shocked if it never makes it to production either as with many concept cars. It would be a shame but how successful will it be if it's post 100k? It'll probably just be a niche item for the rich who like it for it's uniqueness.

Vs reality:

It will be watered down even more, and will cost six figures... like everyone except Elon's fanboys been saying for the last three years.


What "changed" is that reality started catching up with child's drawings.
