The Tesla Cybertruck is without doubt one of the most unique-looking automobiles of contemporary occasions. Regardless of the disclosing having been completed lengthy again, the car’s manufacturing has been delayed and we’re but to see an enchancment on the sooner mannequin of the Cybertruck.
In a latest tweet, Tesla CEO Elon Musk opened up on one other terrain-crossing risk of the Cybertruck, that of it getting used like a ship. Elon Musk appeared sure that the Cybertruck might briefly perform as a ship too on account of it being “waterproof sufficient to function a ship.”
“Cybertruck shall be waterproof sufficient to serve briefly as a ship, so it may well cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren’t too uneven.”, mentioned Musk within the tweet.

So it might be an amphibious car? It appears like it will likely be one. Why the Cybertruck is being made waterproof this fashion might be attributable to the truth that it might be required to journey from Starbase — a SpaceX facility situated at Boca Chica, Texas — to South Padre Island, for which the car has to cross the channel, one thing which Musk talked about in a follow-up tweet.
If the upcoming model of the Cybertruck goes to be a water-resistant one, can we hope for a Cybertruck that may not solely float on the floor of the water however plunge deep inside too, like a submarine? Like how Roger Moore’s automobile does within the 1977 James Bond movie ‘The Spy Who Cherished Me’? Elon Musk actually appears just like the type of inventor who might prefer to assume alongside these traces.
When Elon Musk unveiled the Cybertruck for the primary time in 2019, it caught everybody’s consideration on the unveiling ceremony. However in the course of the presentation, the window glass of the Cybertruck couldn’t maintain its personal towards a single strike by a sledgehammer, although the physique of the truck might. Despite the obvious failure with the sturdiness of the glass, Tesla obtained orders in bulk from the Dubai Police for the Cybertruck. However Musk has tried to be life like concerning the business success of the car and in one of many older tweets, mentioned that “there may be all the time some probability that Cybertruck will flop as a result of it’s so not like the rest.”
Again in November 2019, when the Cybertruck was first unveiled, it was mentioned to enter manufacturing from late 2021. There was additionally a tri-motor AWD model of the car, which was anticipated go into manufacturing in late 2022. A number of prototypes of the futuristuc car have appeared after the disclosing, however Tesla has not been ready go for the launch owing to repeated delays in manufacturing.
