Tesla Cybertruck sinks in Ventura Harbor after botched Jet Ski launch
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…
Ahoy mate!
Maybe we should start a community for trashed teslas? Name ideas?

Even gravity hates cybertrashcans
Well it is an amphibious exploring vehicle, so it should be fine, right?
