Looks bad ass coming out of that water. lol

"Cybertruck pulled from bottom of harbor"

We REALLY need to start holding people accountable for lying to the public.

Boat ramps usually have a fairly thick algae layer coating and if you reverse back a little too far it’s game over. Slip n slide ?

I am thinking they backed up and just got out of the car and the brake was not enough to hold he truck. Needed to have Ebrake on. or, they are just to stupid to launch a jet ski.

Parking brake automatically engages, but that doesn't help if rear wheels are on alge.
Would be cool if they added a line lock function to the ABS module. Need to figure out how to transition to vehicle off from that mode though...

Did it drive out on FSD? Anyone try loading a land-based destination into the nav?

If only it had smart, really smart, summon this could have been avoided.

And here we go again, “This wouldn’t happen in an ICE” social media, coming soon.

To launch a JetSki that is WAY further than you need to go, and even if the rear tire was mostly under like in the pic below the truck on that shallow of an angle should be able to drive out no problem.
Ventura has maybe a 5' total tidal swing.

Something does not add up, ramp does not look steep and even if slimly should not pull a vehicle in like that.

HOPEFULLY they just forgot and left it in R, sucks but hopefully driver error on that one.

You can't though, unless the driver was still in the vehicle. Teslas automatically go into park if you get out.
Maybe they thought it was in D?

I love how if you do a google search for "vehicle/car drives into water" or "vehicle/car backs into water" or "vehicle/car submerged", this doesn't come up.

You need to say "cybertruck" or "tesla".

Actually... for the moment, you only have to google "Cybertruck".

There is not ebrake in a Tesla. When you park, or open a door, the regular brake is locked on in PARK.

They back up while the vessel is still connected and it pulls up the rear of the vehicle and allows the front to slide down the ramp.

^ this. People don't understand physics.
