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.

        They are theoretically simple, like a floating pier on pontoons with a small sauna on top. I’m told by someone who builds them it is a little tricky to get them stable if you also want to have a palju (kind of wood fired large bath tub) on top.

        Great fun for a summer day. Common in Finland and I guess also Norway.

    You’re supposed to do the cold plug after the sauna.
