Elon Musk needs to learn that every time he reveals what his electric car company’s vehicles are capable of, owners will test those claims in the worst ways possible .

Over the weekend, he did it again. In response to a video showing a Model S merrily floating through a tunnel flooded with meter-high water in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Musk tweeted that the car can function as a boat for a short period of time.

It could be true: being an all-electric vehicle, the Model S doesn’t have an exhaust pipe that could get flooded and prevent the car from working.

Musk also said that the vehicle’s drive units and battery are sealed. In addition, Ars Technica UK noted that the S has a ‘bioweapon defense mode’ that supposedly can filter polluted air so efficiently that, “You can literally survive a military-grade bio attack by sitting in your car,” so it’s safe to assume the cabin is impenetrable too.

Still, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR ANYWHERE ELSE. And certainly not without footage of you doing so.

Kodak takes us back to the 60s with its revamped Super 8 camera

Kodak delighted camera lovers everywhere with its announcement at CES that the old-school Super 8 film camera will be re-released this year.

Complete with a new look designed by Jawbone’s Yves Behar, the updated version will combine analogue and digital recording, giving users the option to make use of both formats for their films.

The Super 8 film format was first introduced by Kodak in 1965 at the World’s Fair in New York . It was hugely popular in the 60s and 70s as the preferred format for making home movies, but when VHS came around it faded away.

That was mainly because VHS required no processing and videos were cheaper than the Super 8 film.

Kodak continued to produce and process the film but no new Super 8 cameras have been made since 1982. In fact, Kodak hasn’t sold many cameras at all in the past few years, after vowing to give up manufacturing in 2012 despite being more than 100 years in the industry.

The format is much-loved by film enthusiasts and this revival has been welcomed by the likes of Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino. JJ Abrams, writer and director of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,’ which was shot on film, said:

The new camera isn’t a dead ringer for the original, it’s a pared-back version. The case, which comes in a range of different colors, is similar in size and appearance to a hip flask and has a protruding lens, which can be changed.

On the inside, the case’s side slides open and that’s where you put the film cassettes. There is a diamond-shape opening on the outside where you can see the tape inside the camera.

The handle on top doubles as a microphone and to bring the camera up-to-date, Kodak has added a digital viewfinder, SD card slot and connection points for cables.

Just as vinyl is experiencing a revival in music, film has been making a comeback in the production of home and mobile videos, as well as big blockbuster movies. Most recently, ‘The Hateful 8,’ ‘Spectre’ and Danny Boyle’s ‘Steve Jobs’ were all shot on Kodak film.

Kodak has not released final pricing for the Super 8 camera just yet, but Kodak CEO Jeff Clark told The Wall Street Journal that it will hit the market this autumn priced between $400 and $750. He also said the company is hoping to attract the attention of film schools and hobbyists.

However, with the growing popularity of apps like VHS Camcorder in recent times, Kodak could be in for a whole new wave of fans.

The iPhone 7 will reportedly hit Apple Stores on September 16

If you’re wondering when you’ll be able to walk into an Apple Store and buy the new iPhone 7, one leaker is claiming September 16 is that day — just as we thought it might be .

Evan Blass, better known to many as EvLeaks, previously noted that pre-orders for the iPhone 7 would begin on September 12. Now his sources claim the phones will hit stores on the 16th:

Blass doesn’t say who’s feeding him information (for obvious reasons), but he’s typically pretty spot-on, so I’m at least willing to believe the 16th is fairly recent information.

So clear your credit cards and get ready for pre-orders: the iPhone 7 is right around the corner.
