After taking their Model 3 on a beach trip, the car got stuck in the water.
The doomed car was spotted in the ocean off the coast of Carpinteria.
The local sheriff and firefighters were able to find no one trapped in the building.
It sounds like the owner may have been caught up in Musk's claims that the Cybertruck can double as a boat or that the Model S can float.
According to the local sheriff's office, the owner of the car drove it onto the beach because he thought it would be safe. It probably was until the tide arrived.
The owner was told to get his car out of the ocean. Advice from a wise person.
A Tesla was found floating in the ocean off Carpinteria this morning about 8 a.m. Firefighters searched the car along with the surrounding area, but no one was found. The Santa Barbara Co. Sheriff's Dept. is investigating. (photos: Carpinteria fire, Robin Karlsson, Bill Ehrgott) pic.twitter.com/X1CAmcdL4V

The Model 3's fate with the fishes may be an indication of things to come because of the baffling decisions he's made at the helm.
