Musk was responding to an excerpt from the program “Jay Leno’s Garage,” in which Tesla’s vice president of vehicle engineering, Lars Moravydiscussed the Cybertruck’s potential capabilities as one barca. Moravy suggested that with some modifications to improve buoyancy, the vehicle could become a functioning boat, with the possibility of attaching a outboard motor for propulsion.
According to Musk, this upgrade will mainly require changes to cabin door seals. This should give Cybertruck the ability to deal 100 meters of watertransforming it into a multipurpose vehicle.
