“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.

To anyone wondering. Sauna boats are not common in Norway. It's not "a thing". Please don't add it to the list of Scandinavian stereotypes 🙏
