    Serious question: would there be a risk of electrocution with that much stored electrical energy being submerged in water?

      Once the electrics on the car short out the batteries would have gone into a safe mode when no charge has been sent. Although it is a cyber truck so it is possible it will randomly catch fire.

      Probably not, though with lithium batteries it would be unsurprising if it blew up.

      Yes, and you’d have to choose between getting electrocuted by the truck or getting mauled by the sharks
