Recently, Tesla CEO Elon • Musk once again talked about Tesla's new pickup product Cybertruck on social platforms. He believes that this pickup can be turned into an amphibious vehicle.
Musk wrote: "This pickup can cross 'not too rough' rivers, lakes and oceans because it is waterproof enough to 'ego for a short time'."
In the three years after the unveiling of the new car, Musk repeatedly hinted that this pickup truck will have nearly unlimited capabilities. Watercraft is something Musk has been calling for in the past, especially when it comes to the idea of submarine cars.
and Tesla car has shown good passability in the past when facing deep water sections. So Musk is solving how Tesla's first pickup truck can double as an amphibious vehicle in "ship mode."
Although Electric car has no air inlet, there is no need to worry that water will enter the engine and cause damage, water entering the cabin will also cause damage to electronic equipment. Therefore, as long as the seal is well sealed, the wading depth of the electric car will be much deeper than that of internal combustion engine vehicles.
At the beginning of this year, a third-party company in designed and developed a wild camping kit for Cybertruck, so that this pickup can be turned into a water transportation tool.
The company modified the Tesla Cybertruck pickup truck. For two forms of catamaran , the Cybercat will extend up to five outboard motors to provide thrust, and the speed will reach 22 knots-35 knots per hour.
To facilitate land and land switching, these kits are designed to be very clever so that they can be operated. And once you get ashore, these kits can be folded and stored in the carriage at the rear of the pickup truck.
Tesla Cybertuck was released at the end of 2019 and is scheduled to be produced and delivered by the end of 2020. However, due to parts restrictions and insufficient production capacity, Tesla has postponed production many times. According to the latest plan, the new car will be officially delivered next year. In terms of the power system of
, the new car will launch single motor, dual motor and three motor versions, of which the three motor version has an acceleration time of 0-60 mph (about 96 km/h) in just 2.9 seconds.
