## Resource

A 70-year-old Texas man apparently saw Tesla’s “Wade Mode” feature and decided that meant his Cybertruck had officially evolved from pickup truck to discount Coast Guard vessel, so he intentionally drove it into Grapevine Lake at Katie’s Woods Park near Dallas to test it. The stainless-steel polygon immediately became disabled within minutes, started taking on water, and forced the driver and passengers to crawl out the window. Tesla’s manual actually says Wade Mode is only meant for shallow water crossings up to about 32 inches deep. Police said the driver admitted he did it on purpose because he believed the Cybertruck could handle it. Authorities then had to bring in the Grapevine Fire Department Water Rescue Team and a crane to fish the electric refrigerator out of the lake like some kind of failed billionaire-themed fishing tournament. He was arrested on multiple charges, including operating a vehicle in a closed lake area, lacking proper water safety equipment, and in possibly the funniest legal detail of 2026, not having valid boat registration paperwork. Texas law basically looked at the submerged Cybertruck and said, “Fine. If you insist it’s a boat, then it’s a boat.” For being a bad ow... well for just being an owner of a Cybertruck, he should feel shame, shame, shame.
