Musk’s new brainfart – transforming Cybertrucks into boats – sails straight into absurdity.<\/p>\n
Elon Musk, Tesla<\/a>‘s CEO and notorious for his pie-in-the-sky ideas, has lobbed yet another far-fetched concept into the public arena: transforming the Tesla Cybertruck<\/a>\u00a0into a makeshift boat. You haven’t misread \u2013 he’s seriously talking about a boat. This isn’t your typical vehicle tweak; it’s a bizarre twist that has set the internet ablaze with both ridicule and disbelief.<\/p>\n The seed of this latest Musk misadventure was planted during an episode of “Jay Leno’s Garage.” There, Tesla’s design honcho, Franz von Holzhausen, and the VP of Vehicle Engineering, Lars Moravy, offhandedly remarked that the Cybertruck “almost floats.” It was a throwaway line, suggesting the far-fetched notion of slapping an outboard motor onto this hulking truck to create some kind of amphibious vehicle. But, like a moth to a flame, Musk couldn’t resist. He took to his social media haunt, X, not just to toy with this idea, but to announce, with his usual bravado, that Tesla is seriously concocting a “mod package” to turn this fantasy into a questionable reality.<\/p>\n We are going to offer a mod package that enables Cybertruck to traverse at least 100m of water as a boat.<\/p>\n Mostly just need to upgrade cabin door seals.<\/p>\n \u2014 Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 19, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
