"Numerous water safety violations" is a spectacular phrase when discussing a pickup truck.
A Texas man reportedly looked at Tesla's "wade mode" feature, absorbed whatever meaning he wished from those two words, and drove his Cybertruck directly into Grapevine Lake, where the vehicle promptly demonstrated its lesser-known "become expensive artificial reef" setting.
When officers arrived, they found the Cybertruck in the water near the shoreline. The driver told officers he drove into the lake on purpose to try out the vehicle's "wade mode."
The driver and his passengers safely exited the vehicle before the Grapevine Fire Department's water rescue team removed it from the lake.
The driver was arrested and charged with operating a vehicle in a closed section of a park or lake, having no valid boat registration and numerous water safety equipment violations. He remains in the Grapevine Jail as of Tuesday afternoon.
