Cybertruck launching boat...

DO NOT back rear wheels into water

Interesting. How the hell are you supposed to fill your truck bed with water if you should not even put your wheels in the water? (Read with an extremely heavy dose of sarcasm)

Some tips for using Boat Ramps

If have 4WD use it! Use 4WD low setting.

Use a wheel chock for front driver tire. Put a string/rope on chock so you can pull chock out while sitting in drivers seat. After driving forward 3-4 feet pull string/rope to remove choke.

Make sure to put vehicle in park. Warning: Might be useless if on slippery surface.
Make sure apply parking brake. Warning: Might be useless if on slippery surface.

If have rear axle 2WD, when backing up, DO NOT back rear wheels into water or into slippery algae, mud, etc that is on ramp.

4WD or front 2WD, DO NOT back front wheels into water or into slippery algae, mud, etc that is on ramp.

If possible use 2nd gear to drive forward to try avoid excess wheel spin.

Why do Trucks Get Submerged at Boat Ramps?
In this video, I help explain why trucks get submerged at boat ramps. I only used portions of my extensive online course. I go into much more detail in my online boating course titled "Trailering a Boat and How to Avoid Boat Ramp Disasters".

Also, walk the path before putting the boat down it! If it's paved, make sure you have markers for where the pavement ends.

Like Swampnut said, you don't want to find a hidden pothole, or like in the video, a steep soft spot that you can't get back up.

In a case like that beach, a winch assisted walk woulda been better. It's not like they didn't have enough hands.

That's more 'where not to launch your boat'.

He’d have been fine if he cut the boat loose before getting in so deep.

But guys, the Cybertruck is the boat!

Finally a pickup truck where you won’t have to worry about getting water in the rear axle at the boat ramp.
