Viewers stunned after beach-goer captures Tesla Cybertruck going for a quick dip: ‘Is there anything [it] can’t do?’

The Tesla Cybertruck is testing the waters.

Tesla has finally delivered its highly anticipated Cybertruck, and a viral video is stirring up even more intrigue. The video, shared by Sawyer Merritt (@SawyerMerritt) on X, formerly known as Twitter, captures someone driving a Cybertruck on a beach and wading into the water.

Amid all the buzz, Elon Musk’s 2022 tweet resurfaced, which states, “Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren’t too choppy.”

While the video sparked awe and excitement, it also raised pertinent questions about the Cybertruck’s durability and the long-term impact of such saltwater exposure on its stainless-steel exoskeleton and battery.

Despite Tesla’s reputation for innovation, concerns about the practicality and potential risks associated with such saltwater play were quick to emerge on the post.

“I know the body is stainless….but that salt water is terrible for the steel components,” one commenter posted.
