Elon Musk has shared some ideas on how the Tesla Cybertruck could be used as a boat, suggesting several ways it could propel itself through water.
The S.S. Cybertruck may not be shipshape quite yet, but the electric pickup's alter ego as a boat is coming together.enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren’t too choppy," has been met with its fair share of criticism.Washington State Department of Natural Resources
warned its followers on Twitter that"Our derelict vessel crews are begging you to understand that anything that ‘serves briefly as a boat’ should not be used as a boat." Another issue that has been raised is that, even if the Cybertruck can float, it's not clear how it would move under its own power."One thing that is still uncertain is the speed the Cybertruck will be able to travel on water so the calculations might be off due to that, but I suspect it might be anywhere between 3-10 knots.
"You’d need an electric propeller mounted on the tow hitch to go faster than a few knots. There might a creative wheel hub design that can generate meaningful thrust," Musk responded. Elon Musk has now suggested that a propeller could be attached to the Cybertruck to drive it through water."We *def* don't recommended this, but Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Thrust via wheel rotation," he tweeted in 2016.
