The Tesla driver “accidentally hit the gas,” sending the car flying into the frigid waters off of Oslo earlier this week, witnesses told SWNS.

“I don’t think people could hold there more than five minutes in this water, especially with clothes on,” he added. It was very good luck this floating sauna was nearby.”

The sauna boat happened to drift by soon after the Tesla ended up in the water, Oslo police said.

Photos show people on the vessel with towels around their waists pulling the passengers out of the water.

“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,” the sauna boat’s skipper, Nicholay Nordahl, told Norwegian newspaper VG.

“With the help of two guests, we pulled them up. They were able to warm up in the sauna,” he added.

    Psychotic? Are you sure it’s not the Swedes you are talking about? An understandle mistake, I know I couldn’t make difference between Swedes and Norwegians!

    Eye contact? Thst too sounds like swedish shenanigans to me! A friendly Finn is one who moves far enough to the side when you pass, you know, to give space. Space is the second thing we love the most right after sauna boats! You know, the personal kind!

      I apologize if there was offense. I feel like psychopath was meant as a term of endearment for enduring the cold and the dark, plus the insanely hot saunas you’re capable of (I need a child’s sauna lol) and the ubiquitous rally driving abilities.

      The respect Finnish people and other Scandinavians offer in that regard is the polar opposite of American culture and can be viewed as cold by us. I’ve heard that the fake facades we put on are viewed as dishonest and rude by you and I tend to agree. It’s tiring.

        Thank you for the clarification, I shall consider us Psychopaths (Proudly, Adored) from now on :D /j nah but honestly speaking like half of us are depressed and the other half is just about to be. Straightforward here doesn’t mean saying what bothers you and we can be quite jealous people. Oh and shame is definitely our national feeling. I’d like to visit America one day and experience the vastness and see if people really are as confident and shamelessly proud as depicted!
