Tesla founder Elon Musk hasn’t been able to walk on water yet, though some of his “followers” probably believe him capable of doing this.
Actually, Tesla’s cars are closer to achieving that if we agree that the equivalent of walking on water is wading without any visible damage.
A Tesla Model S was seen doing just that in Texas recently. In the footage posted on Twitter by consumer Richard Richter, the red car is seen wading through some fairly deep floodwater on a local street as sedans remained parked on the side of the street.

The Model S driver kept a steady pace and managed to make it safely to the other side, helped by the lack of a front grille and how the drive units and battery pack are sealed and water can’t get to them.
Come to think of it, this isn’t the first Tesla Model S we’ve seen pulling a stunt. Back in 2016, a black Model S successfully crossed a flooded tunnel in Almaty, Kazakhstan, prompting Elon Musk to enthusiastically tweet: “We *def* don’t recommend this, but Model S works nicely enough to turn it into a boat for brief periods of time. Thrust through wheel rotation. ” He rsquo & hasn;t tweeted yet about the latest “rdquo & drifting; Tesla, though.
Once it looks spectacular, we wouldn’t recommend Tesla owners to wade their way through water because we all know that water is capable of reaching anywhere. There s no telling which sensitive regions of the car can be affected by water in the long run. A short-circuit could place the vehicle on fire while it sits in a parking lot, for example.
