Elon Musk Claims Tesla's 6000-Pound Cybertruck Can Float in Water
Last year, Elon Musk-- the owner of Tesla-- had officially introduced to the world his newly developed vehicle described as the 'Cybertruck.' This vehicle looks like a pickup truck made for Terminator or Mad Max for their next films. Musk had received tons of praises and criticisms when he first launched the said car. However, here's another interesting fact that Musk himself revealed the pickup truck.
The Tesla owner claims his truck to be a 'floating one.' You've read it right! Musk himself boasted his estimated 6,000-pound or three tons vehicle reportedly can float in water for quite some time before it damages.
This answer pops up when a Twitter account asks Musk about Cybertruck's 'wading depth.' Apparently, the Twitter user wants to hunt fish and cross streams using Musk's vehicle. Surprisingly, though, Musk answered back to the tweet and said that "Yes. It will even float for a while."

Musk's answer to the tweet suggested that Cybertruck can actually float in water-- if you're also planning to bring the vehicle with you during fish hunting.
As reported via CNET, Tesla owner did not explain his answer furthermore even when related tweets were asked back about his statement. This means that Cybertruck has unknowingly skill to float on water, but we don't know for sure how deep the water should be or how long it can be underwater before it damages.

Epic fail presentation of Cybertruck
Last year, Tech Times reported the epic fail launching of Cybertruck. As Musk introduces the features of the car, Tesla's chief designer Franz von Holzhaussen, made an exciting demonstration of how strong the windows are.
As he threw a metal ball inside the windows of the car, the window immediately showed damage and cracks. Contrary to what Musk claims the vehicle to be.
