Any day now, the cyber truck will come whizzing down the hyperloop with its sub 10 micron build tolerance and tornado proof glass, fully autonomously driving of course. Any day now.

I really want to see one after it’s hit by a heavy hail storm.

That was pretty painful. Not even a rumor that he said it, he tweeted it lol

Literally any vehicle can be briefly amphibious.
