According to Fox 4, the driver is being held in Grapevine Jail as of Tuesday afternoon, with violations including:

Having no valid boat registration.

That is both hilarious and stupid. You would have to imagine the definition of a boat would be something that floats, which the Cybertruck clearly isn’t in this photo. It’s also less water than the truck is rated in the owner’s manual to be able to handle.

This got me thinking, you're right, how can it be a boat if it can't float?

Turns out, everything is bigger in Texas, including the legal definition of what constitutes a boat.

Is it motorized, above 14 feet in length, and afloat, docked, or stored on Texas waters? Then it's a boat that needs to be registered, fam.

I’ve read that, and I don’t think any reasonable person would consider a vehicle being driven on a lake bed to be a vessel.
No, but its owner was storing it in a lake, it’s over 14’ long, and has a (non-functional) motor.
This would mean every vehicle used to launch a boat would be considered a boat in it’s own right. As well as the trailer.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t tend to store my truck or trailer in the lake?

Neither did this guy, at least not intentionally.

It seems like a vehicle being driven in a body of water is considered a vessel, and that’s just absurd.

It’s really not absurd. If you’re going to attempt to use your truck as a boat, you’re going to hit by both sides of consequences.
