WADE MODE will let Cybertruck drive through water by raising ride height and pressurizing battery 🤿 💦

[ModelAZ]

MORE INFO:

From SawyerMerritt:

"So this is cool. The Cybertruck's Wade Mode apparently uses its air suspension tank to seal its battery during river crossings.

In the Cybertruck parts catalog, there is an entry called "Scuba Pack Airline," which goes from the air tank to the battery pack. In addition, a "scuba valve block assembly" lets compressed air in the line to increase outward pressure and prevent water from entering the battery pack during river crossings and the like."

Very handy mode for getting around flood prone Houston, where I live.

I hope this is a feature in both Beast and Dual Motor versions.

Maybe something hanging off the tailgate? I'm thinking it will require another kit from the accessory group...

That's what's hiding in the rear bumper diaper.

How to do you "pressurize the battery" without an air compressor?

Don't see why it wouldn't be.
