He's not even going off of a claim about production models, but a design goal stated before production.

As dumb as he is:

    The driver was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle in a closed section of park/lake, having no valid boat registration, and numerous water safety equipment violations. As of today, the driver remains in jail.

…why would that lead to an arrest? Just give salvage rights to whomever recovers it.

Whatever your thoughts on the matter, this image is decently representative of Cybertruck and Tesla.

OK, but getting charged with "having no valid boat registration" sounds as stupid as driving into a lake.
