Tesla's much-anticipated Cybertruck may soon be able to act as a watercraft. Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, announced this potential in reaction to a video displaying the Cybertruck in "Jay Leno's Garage."
Tesla Cybertruck Could Soon Be Used as a Watercraft
In the video, as per Motor Mouth, Lars Moravy, Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering, suggests that the steel truck might be converted into a boat with some simple adjustments. Musk said that the key necessity for this water-friendly change would be to upgrade the cabin door seals.
While Musk's announcement has sparked excitement among Tesla supporters, some are skeptical, particularly in light of the Cybertruck's long-delayed introduction. The vehicle, which looks like a stealth bomber, was intended to go into production two years ago.
A video depicting the Cybertruck trying to climb a snowy hill and needing the assistance of a Ford pickup truck also went viral. This incident casts questions on the truck's ability to perform in a variety of terrains, including water.
Concerns Over Tesla Cybertruck's High Pricing and Safety
Aside from concerns about its off-road capabilities, the Cybertruck's pricing has disappointed supporters. The Cybertruck's entry-level model costs $60,990 and is not slated to launch until 2025. The mid-tier and top-tier versions are respectively $79,990 and $99,990, per Business Insider.
Safety experts have criticized the vehicle's expensive prices, as well as its sharp stainless steel-clad appearance. They are concerned that the truck's solid frame may endanger pedestrians, cyclists, and other cars in the case of an accident.
While Tesla claims that the Cybertruck's design provides for improved impact absorption during crashes, skeptics such as Adrian Lund, past president of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, say that the vehicle's stiffness may cause more harm to those involved in accidents.
As Tesla fans wait for more information about the Cybertruck's boat mode, it remains to be seen whether the electric pickup will live up to its lofty claims and aspirations.
