Cybertruck sinks in Southern California harbor
Remember when Elon Musk said the Tesla Cybertruck “will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat”? Based on what happened in Ventura Monday morning, that statement may be more aspirational than it is based in reality.
A Cybertruck ended up submerged in Ventura Harbor when the driver was trying to launch a jet ski, according to reports.
“The driver, a Ventura man, had been offloading a Jet Ski-type personal watercraft … He apparently had meant to drive forward but accidentally put the truck in reverse, backing it into the water,” the Ventura County Star reports.
The man was able to get out of the vehicle, though footage from the scene shows it took a contingent of first responders to drag the electric pickup out of the ocean waters.
