The Tesla Model S Makes A Pretty Damn Good Boat, In Case You Were Wondering

Elon Musk has praised the apparent 'swimming' ability of the Model S, after one was filmed blasting straight past a bunch of stranded cars in a flooded tunnel in Kazakhstan

What’s most amusing about this is Elon Musk himself bought one of the submersible Lotus Esprit props from James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me, and talked about installing a Tesla EV drivetrain. Hopefully this video will inspire him to make the Lotus/Tesla hybrid a reality…

Oh, and it should go without saying that if you see a load of stranded cars in a flooded tunnel, don’t try and drive through the damn thing, even if you’re in an EV and don’t have to worry about things like air intakes and exhaust pipes!

Would a Tesla be able to wade really deep waters, since the engine may not hydrolock?
