Seberak could really do it all. The bulky electric pickup can cause a fire later, excel at collecting garbage, and even, as we all know, remove the body panels from Bond-style playback.
Are they amphibious too? Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised in a temporary position during the launch of the vehicle: “Cybertrucks will be waterproof enough to be used as a boat briefly, so it can cross rivers, lakes, and not even too cheap.”
Now, we have put a perfect test of Musk’s sensational claims. During an outbreak of motorboat launch, a Ventura man in California accidentally reversed the luxury truck and rolled down the ramp to enter the cold water of the port.
Do vehicles flourish like boats, as Musk thinks buyers believe? No: The driver is OK, but his precious Seberak is eventually overwhelmed.
In fact, the recovery efforts attracted Ventura Fire Department, the Port Patrol, the Coast Guard and California Fish and Wildlife, as well as a tug company and Tesla engineers.
Since Sepbok has never been tested by the National Highway Safety Administration, the risks posed by truck-proprietary batteries are almost unknown. Fearing about battery fire, responders spent their good time discussing how to pull the electric car out without risking further damage to the port.
“We intentionally did not rush to respond so that we could have time to study all potential hazards and ensure that contingency plans are achieved,” Captain Carson Shevez, spokesman for the Response Tug Company, told Ventura County Star.
After marinating in the ocean for at least two hours, it is now dragged out of the water by the Seberak of the Was without happening.
Although Tesla cars around the world rise at shocking speeds, this may be the first event in the Cybertron. Thus, the incident seems to confirm what everyone has always doubted: these things are not floating.
Meanwhile, Tesla’s Chinese rival EV maker Byd has actually shown a waterproof car, the U8 luxury SUV. U8 is touted as an emergency feature to survive floods, can be kept for 30 minutes and then moved one Slow but stable at 1.8mph.
Probably not much, but at least it can save yourself if you are confused by the forward and backwards of the port.
