Is it a happy coincidence or is this Tesla's latest autonomous electric-amphibian? Elon Musk, cleared everything up.
The unusual thing happened in Kazakhstan, when the owner of a Tesla Model S managed to pass under a large amount of water without any problem, while the other cars were stuck.RELATED: Tesla's super sports car
The video went viral and even reached the hands of Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors. Through the social network Twitter, the owner of the Californian brand explained that, although it is not advisable, the Model S can float and walk under water, with the help of rotating the wheels. This one, no one was expecting...
Musk had always dreamed of producing an amphibian, even buying the Lotus Esprit used in the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me, famous for transforming itself into an authentic submarine. We always hear that “the dream runs life”, so is it waiting to see what the CEO has in store for the future – an autonomous-electric-amphibian? Cross your fingers.

We *def* don't recommended this, but Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Thrust via wheel rotation.
