Tesla Cybertruck Stuck in California Water; Musk Mulls Sale of Tesla China

A Tesla Cybertruck driver in California attempted to cross a river after hearing Elon Musk say the vehicle could function briefly as a boat. The truck entered the water, became stuck in mud, and was photographed by California Highway Patrol, which warned that the Cybertruck’s wade mode is not designed for sub‑mersion.

Separately, reports from The Wall Street Journal say Elon Musk is reviewing options to separate, sell, or otherwise restructure Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory operations. Analysts note that China accounts for about 18% of Tesla’s revenue, making any such move a potentially major shift for the automaker.

Both stories highlight Musk’s public statements influencing user behavior and strategic decisions about Tesla’s international footprint.
