“I went full throttle towards the people who were pulling themselves out of the passenger compartment of the car,” said the 'captain' of the floating sauna, Nicholay Nordahlto the newspaper Verdens Gang. “We arrived just as the car sank. With the help of two guests, we fished them out. They were able to warm up in the sauna,” she added.
According to a police officer quoted by the media, he writes the Ansa, the two motorists were unharmed. Police said they did not know why the Tesla ended up in the water, but the person behind the wheel explained to the newspaper that he thought the car was in parking mode on a dock at the edge of the fjord when he pressed the accelerator pedal. “Then she dove into the water,” she added: “It was a horrible feeling.” The Tesla was also recovered, but by a tow truck.
