Tesla's Elon Musk reiterates ambitious Cybertruck water update
Briefly

Elon Musk has highlighted the potential for the Cybertruck to have a 'Boat Mode,' describing how it could function as a makeshift boat with features like an electric propeller. Although this feature was not included upon the vehicle's late 2023 release, Musk remains optimistic about the Cybertruck's water capabilities. It currently has a 'Wade Mode' allowing for safe passage through shallower bodies of water, boasting a maximum depth capacity of 32 inches. User videos demonstrate the vehicle's impressive ability in water, adding excitement to its aquatic versatility.
While Musk's ideas for the Cybertruck's 'Boat Mode' were exciting, the vehicle did not include the highly-ambitious feature when it started consumer deliveries in late 2023.
Musk noted that for the Cybertruck to actually be capable for crossing a body of water, it would need an electric propeller mounted on the tow hitch.
