A fool and his money are soon parted.
>Wade Mode “allows Cybertruck to enter and drive through bodies of water, such as rivers or creeks.”
>However, the manual warns that drivers have a responsibility to “gauge the depth of any body of water before entering,” and that damage to the vehicle as a result of driving in water is not covered by the warranty.
>Additionally, the manual tells owners they need to check water conditions before entering and to use best judgment. The manual also notes the maximum wade depth for a Cybertruck is about 32 inches, measuring from the bottom of the tire.
>The manual also warns Cybertruck drivers that soft or muddy underwater surfaces can cause the vehicle to sink, increasing the water level on it. Drivers are also warned against driving in strong currents or rapids.
What exactly does “Wade Mode” actually do? Is it actually a feature or just when an idiot drives it into water?
Wade mode just changes the in-car voice to Deadpool who then berates you for buying a Cybertruck.
I stopped reading at “Jimmy Jack”, as it told me all that I needed to know.
wade mode not boat mode
Peak Cybertruck driver tendencies
Not shocking at all. He has the average IQ of the typical Cybertruck owner.
i knew it was only a matter of time
If only science could find a means of harnessing the power of stupid as fuck, the US could become truly energy independent.
Maybe his name is Wade and he voted for Trump.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
This confirms my bias against every person who has ever bought a CyberTruck.
Wade mode not Submarine mode, duh…
#🤿⚓️
No way…no friggin’ WAY 😱
These things were being bricked in contactless car washes. Why would anyone think this feature was legit. Morons
Classic r/Cyberstuck material
The machine knows, stop yelling at me!
I don’t use Wade mode, but I have been allowing my dog to drive after flipping on dog mode.
You can charge them by putting them in the microwave, too.
Everyone just wants the Amphicar brought back.
>Police said McDaniel remains in jail as of Tuesday, charged with operation of a vehicle in a closed section of the lake, not having a valid boat registration and other water safety equipment violations.
Not having a valid boat registration.
Ha.
It’s just a button to call a guy named “Wade” who shows up and says “Yep, she’s stuck alright”.
I’d love to see a POV of it.
The damn thing can’t even go through a car wash….
“But…. The CEO told me I could do it!”
😆 what a knob. Alcohol had to have been a factor. It just **had** to!
The only thing dumber than buying a Cybertruck is trying to use a Cybertruck to do truck things.
“Gauge water conditions and use best judgement.”
Somebody is seriously overestimating the judgement capability of people who buy cybertrucks.
Thank you for the data point.
Idiots are going to be idiots.
That’s only for shallow water. For deeper water you need to use Dwayne Wade mode
My understanding is that the wade mode simply extends the suspension to raise the body height, and reinforces the battery pack somehow. Dude thought it was going to turn his car into a jet ski.
