When you're not driving it, you can wear it like a mech. It all happens on X.

        Even better, as it starts to implode, water + electronics = malfunctioning car AI that locks you in the car, which then has a battery fire.

        While underwater.

        Do you drown or burn to death first?

        Oh well its all worth it because you can change the horn to a fart noise.

        Elon truly is a genius.

        EDIT: Upon further review, the judges on the field have identified two other possible causes of death:

        The ABSURDLY toxic and poisonous fumes from the LiOn battery may actually asphyxiate/blood poison you to death as you are enclosed in a steel box underwater

        AND

        Fucking DUH you may also just be electrocuted to death.

        So we now have 4 horrible, actually pretty fast acting processes that could cumulatively kill you, or maybe one would kill you first.

        I propose we get Adam Savage to do a one off MythBusters christmas special, and the role of test dummy will be played by Mr 420 Dogecoin himself.

        Gotta lead from the front.

    The amphibicar was a marvel of engineering, but in building any kind of hybrid vehicle you inevitably learn that instead of making a vehicle that's good at two things you've made a vehicle that does two things kinda crappily.

      Elon was just taking inspiration from the Osprey making news recently

      "What if we made a truck that was a shitty truck AND a shitty boat?"

    Elon encouraging people to drive their poor quality Teslas into the ocean is going to be the greatest thing he's ever done.

    He did actually already say that he was going to make his cars have pressurized air thrusters that would enable them to fly.

    Tens of millions of people took this idea seriously.

        This is especially hilarious considering that the LA River during the summer is basically a trickle but every winter it basically is inches away from wiping out Compton and the Gateway Cities, and I know that the stupid Cybertruck would blow up in both cases.

      You know, I guess a meetup of Aquatic CyberTrucks all colliding together and sinking would be even funnier than the Trump flotillas that did as much a few years ago.

      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.
