Elon Musk claims Tesla Model S is totally amphibious, sort of. Inspired by a Model S driver in Kazakhstan successfully driving through a flooded underpass, Elon Musk tweeted that the Model S can totally be driven through water, with the spinning wheels helping propel the car.
Still, while Musk claims the vehicle will do a passable job pretending to be a boat, we don’t recommend trying it.

Back in 2013 Musk purchased the Lotus Esprit that was used in the James Bond film ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ which was famous for also being a submarine. So it’s no surprise that he’s implementing that tech into his cars.
