A Tesla Cybertruck owner found themselves in a precarious situation after testing the vehicle's 'Wade Mode' feature at Grapevine Lake in North Texas. Footage shows the Cybertruck driving near the water before it became buoyant and eventually submerged, forcing the driver and passenger to escape through the window. The local police were called to recover the vehicle, which had been abandoned after taking on too much water. The driver was arrested for operating in a closed section of the lake and for other water safety violations. According to police, the driver admitted to intentionally driving into the lake to test the feature. Tesla's 'Wade Mode' is designed to allow the vehicle to traverse bodies of water up to 32 inches deep, but it comes with a warning that users must assess the water depth themselves, as damage from water ingress is not covered by warranty. This incident is not the first time the Cybertruck has made headlines for controversial reasons, including a failed durability test during its 2019 launch.
