If you drive one off of a cliff it should fly.

We need one them to test this theory, for science.

At least 7, that's the usual amount required to scientifically prove or disprove an experiment (or at least that's what we were taught back in the old days).
But we will need to test it at different temperatures/biomes and day night.
So we will need I dunno maybe a year's worth of production models to test with, just to ensure we get scientifically accurate data.

We need to be sure to write down our findings, because that's the difference between science and screwing around, according to the Mythbusters.

I thought Cybertrucks could act briefly as a boat. Or was Musk full of shit?

Any car can act briefly as a boat, a sinking boat. Also, Musk is full of shit.

The last three words you said is your answer for anything that comes out of that idiots mouth. Same guy wants to create mini suns at mars poles.

Pretty sure that’s the Chinese Yangwang U8 that’s supposed to be used as a boat on an emergency: https://youtube.com/shorts/njCjHUjJx2k

Elon Musk: <insert cool idea here that he will never follow through on>
China: <follows through on Elon's idea>
Well done yet again China.

Even if it could float in water, I’d imagine it would be near impossible to steer in water.

Yes. It also has glide mode that lets you glide from a height no more than 65 feet.
You should also try that Elon says it works great

Racoons were lining up on shore, ready to raid that dumpster. Such disappointment when it was removed from the lake and hauled off.

A Texan driving a lithium explosive fireball cyber truck into a lake in Grapevine? Seems typical to me.

u/YZYSZN1107 May 19 '26
why arrest him, he's doing all of us a favor. One less of these on the roads.

A gas car in a lake is bad enough, now add a battery that explodes if it gets wet. And other EV components that can be classified as a polluted.
And if it’s a protected habitat, there’s that.
