Tesla Lands in Norwegian Fjord, Rescued by Floating Sauna

This is one dip that most people wouldn’t want to take. A Tesla drove into a Norwegian fjord, only to have the occupants of the vehicle rescued by a floating sauna.

The electric vehicle drove into the Oslo, Norway, fjord at the Akershusstranda, an area where ships dock. A video was taken by witnesses and showed the driver and a passenger climbing on top of the car in order to avoid the freezing cold water.

According to Oslo Police, who posted on X about the incident, the pair ended up being rescued by the crew and guests of one of the city’s floating saunas.

“One of the guests came running and told me a car had landed in the water. I accelerated to full speed in the direction of the people,” Nicholay Nordahl, the sauna boat’s captain, said. “With the help of two guests, we pulled them up. They were able to warm up in the sauna.”

The car’s owner said the Tesla ended up in the water when he accidentally pushed down on the accelerator while he thought the vehicle was in park. Fortunately, both occupants walked away uninjured.
