Wade Mode Fail (Video). Driver abandons Cybertruck and arrested

[65SoYoLO]

If that is the case, they should say so. Tweet makes it sound like they just arrested a guy for driving in a lake....

They did. And no boating equipment on board... Not joking.

Not the first Cybertruck driver to have unrealistic expectations of "Wade Mode". This one is from April 2025, in northern California ...

Misleading customers, The “E” should front the court cost and give a new CT, even though the owner is a thorough dummy!

there are nuances to the legality of a vehicle crossing water, I talked to some guys who owned Aqua Cars up at Raystown Lake a few times. We chatted them up at McD, then boated over to them at the resort. This was probably 15-20 years ago now. Also saw them down at Port Deposit MD near Lee's Landing.

Basically, if you strait line it to 'cross' the water, you're fine. Soon as you start zig zagging and start driving all over the water, now you're a boat. (and require boat things).

But, regardless, I see an idiot with a truck. Amazing how often that happens lol.

Happened a lot when we used to hit Paragon and Rausch Creek off road parks. I blame Jeep commercials... Sure it can do 'anything'... in the commercial... once... for 30 seconds... because you don't see the aftermath.. Real world is a lot less forgiving.

Yup...more MSM piling on how dumb both the truck and the owners are. Sigh.

They told him if you're going to pretend to be a boat, we're going to treat you like a boat and hit him with a bunch of boating violations including operating in a closed part of the park/lake. First responders/resources having to fish his truck out may have had something to do with it too.

social medias exposing all stupid people and they want/like the attention-more will show up soon.

The only thing I can say, what an idiot!!! I don’t care what the specs say what the vehicle is capable of doing. You don’t purposely test it. Furthermore, just by looking at the video he went well beyond the waded depth.

Curious why he was arrested?

That part of the lake was closed. Also, no joke, they got him for improper boat registration, no boat safety gear (life jackets, flares, etc).

You can make a smart car but cant make a smart human.

Cmon captain!

Bet he was cited for not going down with the ship

Social engineering is the weakest link of any systems. It’s why Hot Spy still get any secrets today .

Probably wanted to try it after seeing the success of this guy from last year. Man the poor CT gets alot of bad press from its own owners.

This happened a few miles from my house. He tried Wade mode in the lake. Been coming here for 42 years, never seen someone intentionally try to drive in it.
