Moment Cybertruck driver intentionally drives into Texas lake

Rescuers removed the vehicle from near the shoreline and police arrested the driver, who was attempting to use the vehicle's "wade mode".

@dannotdaniel okay that was pretty funny.
@nonehitwonder yes I hope the insurance company put him on speakerphone
decent billboard / meme template here
@dannotdaniel @catsalad Unfortunately, I’m fresh out of sympathy. 🖕🏻😁

@dannotdaniel
Encore: “The driver has since been arrested on charges of operating a vehicle in a closed section of a park or lake, as well as several water safety equipment violations.”

@gdinwiddie @dannotdaniel Please say also charged with littering
@gdinwiddie @dannotdaniel Somewhere out there is a guy called Wade Mode who doesn't deserve what's coming.
@dannotdaniel These cybertruck articles are so heart-warming. It's like "here's the crap made by someone I hate failing!" combined with "here's a douchbag with shit political views who's going to be out a fat pile of money"
@coldfish it's like a warm blanket
@dannotdaniel I saw the "wade mode" reference in a headline somewhere and, thinking it was a joke, didn't click through. Thanks for filling me in.
@Bodling heh - still a joke, but the punchline is the paying customer
