Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed that the Cybertruck could wade through rivers, lakes, and even calm seas during its launch, thanks to its water-resistant capabilities.
However, reality struck differently. A Tesla Cybertruck owner recently drove their vehicle into a river to test its water-wading capabilities, as advertised. Unfortunately, the car sank, but the owner managed to escape safely. Emergency services had to employ specialized techniques to retrieve the submerged vehicle.
It’s not just Tesla; BYD also boasted about their SUV Yangwang U8’s ability to wade through water and float for up to 30 minutes.
However, BYD advised that this feature is intended for emergency situations like floods or accidental water submersion and not for recreational purposes. They recommended that owners bring their vehicles for inspection after passing through water-logged areas.
