Elon Musk recently tweeted about the potential of Tesla's upcoming Cybertruck being waterproof enough to cross lakes and seas.

The tweet sparked a lot of interest, as many people wondered just how reliable the waterproofing of the vehicle would be.

However, Musk assured fans that it will indeed be capable of driving across bodies of water. According to Musk,

the vehicle is constructed with a "completely sealed design" and its windows are made with an ultra-hard stainless steel alloy that can protect against any water damage.

In addition, Musk promised to add additional features such as a wading mode, which will enable the truck to traverse shallow waters with ease.

All in all, Elon Musk believes the Cybertruck will have no problem crossing any type of water on its journey - no matter how deep it is.
