Man arrested after driving Tesla Cybertruck into Grapevine Lake to test 'Wade Mode'
The driver remains held in the Grapevine Jail on multiple charges, including operating a vehicle in a closed section of a park and having no valid boat registration.
I hate Musk and Cybertrucks as much as the next guy, but there was no reason to arrest the guy. A citation would be enough.
Maybe he was an absolute unapologetic, insufferable asshole to the pigs who responded to the call? (As you might expect a CyberTurd driver to be.) That could explain why they decided to throw the book at him.
The ‘no valid boat registration’ definitely sounds like a “What else can we possibly charge this asshole with?” kind of thing.
Though, now that I think about it, how do you properly register an amphibious vehicle? As a car, as a boat, or do you need to register the same vehicle twice in order to get both types of registration?
Great question! I would bet that very few states/countries, if any, have a radio button for amphibious vehicles. I’m sure it very rarely comes up.
Hey neat, the Amphicar forums have a thread on this topic! Makes sense. amphicar770.com/threads/boat-registration.3886/
They say that California has an amphibious registration option but that the other mentioned states just register it as a car.
Doug, I had the same problem here in South Carolina. I wanted to register my Amphi as a car and a boat so that I could get the cool boater registration decal and registration number displayed across my Amphi's bow. I had a nice conversation with several officials at the DNR office...
