Cybertruck Owner Discovers Truck ≠ Boat
BOAT MODE SOLD SEPARATELY
The real news
The story, straight
Cybertruck has a water-crossing feature called Wade Mode. Apparently someone read that as basically a boat.
A Tesla Cybertruck driver was arrested after driving into a lake to use 'wade mode.'
The absurd
Why this is ridiculous
Wade Mode means puddles, not Poseidon. Boat mode: sold separately.
The breakdown
How it breaks down
Confusing 'handles shallow water' with 'survives aquatic ambition' is the mistake. The lesson: a spec sheet is a promise about limits, and the lake is where the limit lives.
The upside
Why it could matter
The upside is that the truck came out, and the feature got its first real-world stress test. The lesson: the best review of a feature is a story like this one.
