Watch This Cybertruck Self-Destruct in Shallow Water
a year ago by KayLeadfoot to c/Cyberstuck
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 second puddle is MUCH DEEPER!!
Look at cameraman who appears to be standing in roughly the same depth of water.
It’s a real shame we have no way to measure the depth of water beside la how much of a beast and tank something is.
The wheel well cover is one thing (and they’re usually held in by clips, not bolts) but that “severe test” was the real comedy. I’ve done that in a compact hatchback with less damage.
You can straight up see a Toyota Corolla backed up next to the "extreme" water that they crossed. XD
Classic comedy
I find it hilarious that the buttons on the back shorted out and he's still apologizing for the truck saying it's awesome. Two places where it broke on the body, too. Plus water swishing around in the truck somewhere. What a beast. /s
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.
I did get a little of that Schadenfreude when he learned on camera the "close cover" button was also broken. Like, the truck just kept sustaining water damage as he was recording.
🎵Choke me in the shallow water; before I get too deep🎶🎶
Thought you were singing me Electric Citizen, and I got real excited before I realized the lyrics were similar but different.
"In the shallow water, watch me slowly drown" does sort of fit for the truck tho...
I stopped listening to new music around 2010! :)
I was quoting “What I Am” by Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians, from 1988.
I looked it up (because I'm trying to keep up appearances as the world's worst automotive journalist).
I dug it, was my first time hearing it, it's a bop :D
I like how fuelarc said he bombed in it. I mean don’t go fast, but he wasn’t going that fast. If you go slightly faster than you should, you might hydroplane a little bit, but that was no water. I’ve waded that in a sedan because I was too lazy to go around. And my car still worked. All of it.
This is the funniest cybertruck video I've seen. It would be believable as a parody, but the guy seems so sincere. I'm still not sure if I believe he really thinks it's good, or if this is just well-executed engagement bait, but it really seems just real and dumb.
I laughed out loud XD

I find it funny that all of these "extreme" tests done by "cybertruck" owners to try to prove their overpriced, oversized, toy car is a "beast" always show how little understanding and experience these soft handed urbanites have with actually doing "truck stuff" with real trucks.
They almost always do some mundane activity, which doesn't even require a truck, and then act like it is somehow breaking world records by doing it.
