I’m gonna go full nerd-glasses-emoji here:
The cybertruck cannot become a boat. Basically a boat is, according to maritime law, “any vessel used for navigation on the waters” whereas “navigation” requires that the vessel must be able to be steered and has a method of propulsion. Example: A canoo is a boat - It is propelled by physical force and steered the same way; A PAX-shipper is also a boat.
The cybertruck propels itself by way of creating traction on the road. It does not have traction when it floats, it therefore cannot ford water “as a boat”.
QED: MR. MUSK YOU’RE FIRED SIR!!!
Ps. If he truly wants to be able to sell it as a “boat” then he need to install maritime signal lights too.
pps. I know he’s just saying “oh it can float for a bit” and I’m being obtuse, but I am also having fun with it.
Spinning wheels can propel a vehicle in the water, and adjusting the angle of those can help you steer. It will never be a good boat, but it could be a boat for a brief moment.
