Forgetting the death trap electronics and whatnot for a second..

How are you supposed to propel yourself and steer?

    Well, the guy did say "briefly", so if you drive into the water with speed and the right direction, you might theoretically not need to propel yourself nor steer...

    By the same logic, it can also briefly act as a plane, you just need to drive at top speed off a cliff. But don't tell that to Cybertruck owners, or do, I am not your mother.

    There are lots of amphibious vehicles that just do that with existing tires.

    My dad once drove/boated/floated an old Volkswagen across a flooded road that a pickup truck couldn't cross. A big part of why it worked is that it wasn't weighed down by two tons of batteries.

    Buoyancy is a complex equation of density, weight, etc. Its more than just weight.
