I was watching a Cybertruck driver “test the truck’s wade mode,” and was treated to some accidental comedy.

He manages to break a wheel well cover off, fry the electronics for the bed, and flood the frame. Like, enough water in the frame that he can hear it.

In short, definitely ready to be a boat. Propeller accessory when?!

        This is just anti-Tesla propaganda. Everyone knows you can just drill some holes in the bottom to let the water out. Or you can flip it over and let it drain overnight.
