Musk Says Tesla Model S Can Float

(RTTNews) - It seems that the luxury electric car Tesla Model S can help you drive through water. That is what Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk says.

"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," Musk tweeted on his handle.

A released video shows a Tesla Model S luxury electric car driving through a flooded Kazakhstan tunnel and halting, but after few seconds the driver powers through the flooded part using the thrust provided by the wheels turning in the water. The video shows both the view out the windshield and the rear camera view.

According to Musk, the wheel rotation provides enough thrust to give a floating Model S forward propulsion.
