Tesla Model S floats well enough to act as a boat, according to Elon Musk

Video of vehicle floating through flooded Kazakhstan tunnel suggests electric cars can turn into makeshift boats in a pinch - but Musk doesn't recommend it

There's a common misconception that electric vehicles don't like water any more than gas guzzlers, but apparently that isn't true. It turns out if you find yourself flooded, a Tesla Model S can float and effectively drive on water.

We *def* don't recommended this, but Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Thrust via wheel rotation.
