A Cybertruck driver in Texas has been arrested after he drove his vehicle into a lake using Teslaâs âWade Modeâ feature, police said.
The distinctive-looking electric truck, which sells for upwards of $80,000, was found in Grapevine Lake on Monday, according to authorities.
The driver, later identified as 70-year-old Jimmy Jack McDaniel, said he âintentionally drove into the lake to use the Cybertruckâs âWade Modeâ feature,â the Grapevine Police Department wrote in a Facebook post.
âWade Modeâ allows Cybertrucks to drive through shallow bodies of water.
After the Cybertruck âbecame disabled and took on water,â McDaniel and others inside abandoned the car, Grapevine police said.
