There is plenty to love about Teslas Model S, but there is one secret feature here

that we did not see coming: The hot electric vehicle can double as a boat.

The sports-car-like EV can swim well enough to turn itself into a boat, at least for a brief moment,

according to the Tesla CEO. Tesla Motors **does* not recommend doubling up,

Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk posted on his Twitter page, But its Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat, for short periods of time.

Elon Musk said several years ago the Model S can be used almost like a boat,

[{"selector":"#anim-d9f440bd-4451-496c-a4f3-2eadc424ef65 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ac474e9-ec42-42ae-a2a9-5dcc0eb26b8b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

after a Tesla Model S was observed traveling (or swimming) through a flooded tunnel -- though the CEO clarified it is not recommended.

[{"selector":"#anim-6bb526c5-8024-4807-8e26-40b9f020fd9b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b038a5e-0026-4bb3-bdf0-7a3224e0edf2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

While it is unclear whether a Tesla Model S drove or swam through, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has commented on the accident,

[{"selector":"#anim-fb73c3f8-55a9-4ce1-bea9-f812838893f2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-12.514648210040342%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8e92e26b-5014-4581-b57d-f0d8bbd52f31","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

with fans speculating even more that Teslas Model S could be water-resistant.

Musk had earlier tweeted about a report of a Tesla owner who had driven his Model S car through a Russian flood tunnel, successfully emerging from the other end.
