Elon Musk is supposedly crafting a new sports car to match the vehicle in the latest James Bond movie, "Spectre." There are plans to make Tesla Model S a sports submarine car. The plans, not officially announced but posted on Musk’s Twitter page, is merely a side project and will not have any effect on other Tesla projects, such as his space rocket program. However, many financial experts are curious about the plan, stating that such an endeavor could have massive market potential. A few hours after the tweet was posted, people all around the world began spreading the word. Apparently, there is an interest for a sports car that is not only beautiful but could serve as a submarine.

The project, however, is most likely to be expensive, and only a few people would be able to afford such a model. Many of Musk’s followers have suggested that instead of a boat, Tesla should develop an electric motorcycle or truck instead – the focus being on saving world resources than creating a vehicle that seems to have no other purpose than to be cool. There has been no response to these suggestions.

It is unknown whether the plan will push through or if it does, how long it will take or who will buy such design. The plan though has sparked an interest on the exact limitations of vehicular transport and what can be done or not done in terms of car design.
