Musk: Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup truck can be used as a "boat" for a short time.

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Savokiii for the clue delivery! Beijing, September 30 (Xinhua)-- Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted an article on Thursday local time, revealing the details of the Cybertruck pickup truck, which is constantly "difficult to give birth." He said the electric pick-up truck would be able to "float on the water like a boat, start working in a short time and cross the lake".

"the Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to be used briefly as a ship, crossing rivers, lakes and even less rough oceans," Musk said on Twitter. "

Since its launch in 2019, the launch of the Cybertruck electric pickup has been delayed several times. It is understood that the car was originally planned to go on sale by the end of 2021. But in August 2021, Tesla confirmed that the car could not be delivered in 2021.

During the earnings call in July, Musk said the Cybertruck would start production in mid-2023.

It is worth mentioning that Ford, General Motors and California startup Rivian have all launched their own electric pickups. In August, Ford CEO Jim Farley announced that his home-made Fmuri 150 Lightning electric pickup truck was the market leader and mocked whether Musk could launch a Cybertruck pickup. Musk immediately replied, "Thank you. I already have one."
