Pushing The Limits: Tesla Actually Had Drawn Up An Electric Submarine Car

Elon Musk revealed that Tesla has a design for an electric submarine or amphibious car, but it doesn’t sound like it’s something that they plan on bringing to market.

The 1977 James Bond movie ‘The Spy Who Loved Me‘ featured a modified Lotus Esprit that could change into a submarine.

It was lost for years, but the car was eventually found in a storage locker bought blindly for just $100 and back in 2012, Elon Musk secretly bought it for ~$900,000 in a bidding war against another car collector.

At least when it catches fire it will be put out quickly.
It works as a metaphor for their finances too.

First tunnel is in LA, next one is being built in Vegas. Those are loops though, hyperloop likely very far off.

Apparently production starts in late 2020. They have two functioning prototypes that are actually being used to haul things back and forth between Reno and Fremont.

Wonder how many Tesla Electric Subs Musk has sold to Central American Drug Kingpins?

Is this the start of the "John DeLorean" cocaine conspiracy twist to the Tesla story?
