If you thought the Tesla Model S was neat because of its electric components, listen to this.

The Model S sedan is capable of floating on water and acting as a boat for short bursts of time, Tesla founder Elon Musk revealed in a Sunday tweet. Tesla Motors doesn't recommend trying out the feature, but since the Model S doesn't have the same air-intake needs (among other features) required to run a gas-based car, it can float around in water without any trouble.

We *def* don't recommended this, but Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Thrust via wheel rotation. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 19, 2016

"Drive units and battery are sealed," Musk added when asked if the motor electrics were waterproof.

Musk's comments came after Electrek posted a story about a man who published a video showing his Model S "swimming" as he passed stranded, gas-powered cars in a flooded tunnel in Kazakhstan and emerged unscathed.

Back in 2013, Musk dropped a cool $866,000 on the James Bond submarine-car featured in The Spy Who Loved Me, with plans to turn it into a working undersea vehicle. On Twitter Sunday, he addressed that purchase, writing that he is "still planning to do a sports sub car that can drive on roads," but that is "just a side project [with] limited market potential," he quipped.

Until then, Tesla will be busy meeting demand for its more affordable Tesla Model 3. The car maker started taking orders earlier this year for the $35,000 vehicle with 215 miles of range, and quickly surpassed even Tesla's expectations. But it won't arrive until 2017 as the car can't go into production until Tesla's Nevada Gigafactory is up and running.
