Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, stated that the company's future Cybertruck will "serve briefly as a boat" and aid in navigating rivers and other bodies of water. The goal, according to Musk, is for a Cybertruck to be able to cross the water between South Padre Island in Texas and SpaceX's Starbase. Meanwhile, he also mentions that the Cybertruck is waterproof and hence is capable of going through these water bodies. He also says in his tweet that the truck can even cross seas that "are not too choppy."
