Elon Musk reveals Tesla to release package that will turn latest EV into a BOAT
ELON Musk has revealed that Tesla will be releasing a package that will turn the latest EV into a boat.
The businessman and investor has announced plans to take his multi-billion dollar empire to the next level.
Tesla‘s Cybertruck, which is due to be released for sale in 2025, could also potentially float on water.
CEO Musk said the vehicle could tread water for 100m – giving drivers the option to use the road or take a different route.
He even said the only adaption they need to do to make it work is upgrade the seal on the doors.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Musk said: “We are going to offer a mod package that enables Cybertruck to traverse at least 100m of water as a boat.
“Mostly just need to upgrade cabin door seals.”
During a talk about Tesla’s latest earnings in October, Musk made it clear that the vehicle could face challenges, according to reports.
He added: “We dug our own grave with Cybertruck.
“Special products that come along once in a long while are just incredibly difficult to bring to market, to reach volume, to be prosperous.”
It comes after Tesla unveiled its newest EV Supercharger – meaning anyone with and electric car can use the branded chargers.
The company said it has been “specifically designed to facilitate non-Tesla vehicles using the supercharging network”.
Tesla‘s existing UK network spans more than 1,100 Superchargers at some 115 locations and with a 99.5 per cent uptime.
It is unclear where the first Superchargers will be installed and when non-Tesla vehicles will be able to use them.
The V4 Supercharger was first launched in Europe in Harderwijk, the Netherlands, in March.
It comes as a Tesla owner revealed which car he believes is far better than the electric car.
Posting on TikTok under the username Will Lee, the motorist revealed exactly what he thought about the popular manufacturer.
