Tesla Cybertruck driver arrested after driving into lake to use 'wade mode'
Watch: Cybertruck driver intentionally drives into lake using vehicle's "wade mode" feature
A man has been arrested in Texas accused of intentionally driving his Tesla Cybertruck into a lake to use the vehicle's "wade mode" feature.
The Grapevine Police Department said its officers were called to Grapevine Lake in north Texas on Monday to recover the vehicle, which had been abandoned by the driver and passengers after it took on water and became stuck.
Wade mode allows a Cybertruck "to enter and drive through bodies of water, such as rivers or creeks" at a maximum depth of 81.5cm (32in), according to Tesla's online manual.
The driver was arrested on charges of operating a vehicle in a closed section of the lake and for other water safety equipment violations, police said.
The partially submerged vehicle was removed from near the shoreline of the south side of the lake, with the Grapevine Fire Department Water Rescue Team assisting police in the operation.
