Elon Musk commented in June that Tesla Model C if necessary, it could be converted to a launch if the needs were urgent and the lives of the passengers were in danger. If necessary, “Tesla” can be hermetically sealed and sail the seas.
Of course, the sea must be calm, the ideal environment for swimming are places such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers with a weak current … The car handles well in the aquatic environment, as long as you do not have to surf the waves. this is a car electric not a real boat.
And while it sounded like classic Elon Musk bravado, who appears to have accepted the first $44,000 million Twitter deal after many comings and goings, this month we saw a user Tesla Tesla Model X was asked to test this.
As you know, US has been fighting Hurricane Yang for daysthe most common occurrence because The Caribbean Sea, hot and full of energy, usually favors this type of natural phenomenon. so destructive.
Elon Musk did not lie about the power of his Tesla
In the video, we see how the driver and co-pilot drive along the road and move through the flooded areas. During their journey, we see them offering help to neighbors who have run out of water or energy.
It’s impressive how a Tesla Model X can start moving and then hit a flooded road and continue on its way.. Special attention when he meets the boat, the two of them are in the middle of a completely flooded road.
We *def* don’t recommend this, but the Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Traction due to the rotation of the wheel.

In an emergency, in fact, what Teslanot just Model S like I said Elon Muskbut the rest of the electric vehicles in the fleet easily overcome the road full of water.
For a country that usually lives with this kind of natural disaster, this is a great advantage.
