ALMATY, Kazakhstan, June 21 (UPI) -- A Tesla owner in Kazakhstan showed off his car's ability to traverse a flooded tunnel and the video caught the attention of CEO Elon Musk.
Sanzhar Altayev posted a video to YouTube showing what happened when he drove his Tesla Model S through a flooded tunnel filled with stalled and stranded cars.
Altayev's car begins to float and is able to make it to the other side of the flood, where it drives away on dry land.
"When Tesla enters flooded tunnel it starts to float! Any weather is grace with Tesla! Shame to sceptics!" Altayev wrote.
The video caught the attention of Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk, who confirmed the car's capabilities.
 
"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," Musk tweeted.
