www.latimes.com 'Oh great': Tesla Cybertruck sinks in Ventura Harbor after botched Jet Ski launch

Elon Musk tweeted in 2022 that the Cybertruck "will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat." But a Cybertruck did not float in Ventura Harbor.

Tesla founder Elon Musk tweeted in 2022 that the Cybertruck “will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren’t too choppy.” This truck, however, quickly sank in 8 feet of water, said Carson Shevitz, captain of TowBoatUS Ventura, who helped coordinate the rescue.

Is the water the domestic terrorist in this case?
- Definitely - just look at its name - Dihydrogen Monoxide. Definitely foreign.

If you can't sell it, sink it... then collect the insurance.

Great now the people nearby have to choose between getting electrocuted or eaten by a nearby shark.

Here I am surprised it didn't catch fire

Girrrllllllllllll! Did you hear? Tesla just launched the CyberSubmarine. They goin' deep girl!
- Will they be piloting this one with a controller as well?
- Too bad it wasn’t ready in time to rescue those people trapped in that cave a few years ago…
