Forgetting the death trap electronics and whatnot for a second..
How are you supposed to propel yourself and steer?
Elon is a magic wizard he can figure it out.
Well, the guy did say "briefly", so if you drive into the water with speed and the right direction, you might theoretically not need to propel yourself nor steer...
By the same logic, it can also briefly act as a plane, you just need to drive at top speed off a cliff. But don't tell that to Cybertruck owners, or do, I am not your mother.
Also by that same logic my Toyota can also serve "briefly" as a boat.
If your Toyota is a Hilux it may as well perform way better as a boat than a Cybertruck.
There are lots of amphibious vehicles that just do that with existing tires.
Yep, deep enough tread will work as a shitty propeller and steering will work as a shitty rudder. The idea is that it can do both, not that it's especially good at one or the other.
My dad once drove/boated/floated an old Volkswagen across a flooded road that a pickup truck couldn't cross. A big part of why it worked is that it wasn't weighed down by two tons of batteries.
Buoyancy is a complex equation of density, weight, etc. Its more than just weight.
Maybe that's why Elon's torso is shaped like that
We should find out if he weighs as much as a duck
