Texas man arrested after intentionally driving Cybertruck into lake to test 'wade mode,' police say [View all]
(San Antonio Express-News) A Texas man is facing criminal charges after intentionally driving his Cybertruck into a lake, authorities stated in a Tuesday post to social media.
The incident unfolded just before 8 p.m. Monday at Katie's Woods Park Boat Ramp in Grapevine, located approximately 25 miles north of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. When officers from the Grapevine Police Department arrived at the scene of the incident, they discovered that "a Tesla Cybertruck was in the water, near the shoreline."
The driver told authorities that he intentionally drove into the lake to test the Cybertruck's "Wade Mode" feature while other passengers were in the vehicle.
According to Tesla's Cybertruck owner's manual, the feature "allows Cybertruck to enter and drive through bodies of water, such as rivers or creeks." However, the feature comes with several warnings - and states that "The maximum wade depth is approximately 32 in. (815 mm) measuring from the bottom of the tire."
