A Tesla Cybertruck was deliberately driven into Grapevine Lake in Texas on Monday evening in what police say was an intentional attempt to test the vehicle's 'Wade Mode,' leaving the electric pickup submerged and prompting a water rescue operation.
Authorities identified the driver as Jimmy Jack McDaniel, who remains in custody facing multiple charges following the incident at Katie's Woods Park boat ramp. The unusual case has raised questions over how Tesla's water-driving feature is understood and used by owners.
