TL;DR

A Texas Cybertruck owner intentionally tested Wade Mode by driving into Grapevine Lake, the truck flooded and bricked, and the driver, Jimmy Jack McDaniel, was arrested for operating a vehicle in a closed section of the lake and multiple water-safety violations, including lacking a valid boat registration. Wade Mode is designed to keep the vehicle’s components out of water for depths up to about 32 inches, but the video showed the tires submerged; authorities warn against driving vehicles into waterways and remind users to read the manual before attempting such stunts.
