There is a video of a cybertruck driving through around 1m of water in wade mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lKAEHMvvxg

Cheap plastic panels fall off in two places seemingly without any impact, exposing the whole underbelly and electrical system in the rear to water. The body retains water hours later and the buttons to open the trunk no longer work with them progressively failing in the hours since.

"Overall guys, things do seem to be... fairly normal. I do hear some water sloshing around in there. I'm guessing it will, kind of, you know, get out of where it's at. Overall the front was pretty dry. The trunk was pretty dry."

I love that the battery is mounted to the frame and the seats are mounted to the battery. The coastal cybercucks are going to get saltwater filling those same spots come hurricane season, just eating away at everything right beneath their feet.

Next video... "My cyber truck is rusting"

It's not exactly damning that the vehicle can't handle 1m of water. I guess if they're exaggerating its capabilities in marketing copy but I don't think I've ever owned a car that would handle 1m of water without issues.

Sure but I've also never owned a car that was claimed to briefly act as a boat.

Briefly... Like enough time to make you realize that the doors won't open and the windows won't roll down in water because it's shorted out. Great way to drown a billionaire 10/10, no notes.

Is that what mitch mconnels sister in law was trying to do

[-] DemBoSain@midwest.social 5 points 7 months ago

Boat? Or submarine?

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 52 points 7 months ago

This is specifically using the built-in wade mode for the advertised boat truck, which on the Tesla website shows it safely going through up to 32in/0.8m: https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/cybertruck/en_us/GUID-1AD8BC96-CFD8-43B3-AF5F-9755BAAC8F3A.html

They definitely misgauge the depth of the entire puddle though. When they assess it and drive through the first part, it's about as deep as that manual shows the truck being capable of. Then they get stuck driving through the part that's maybe 1m~ or so. About here is where he fucks up and goes deep enough to drown any vehicle: https://youtu.be/4lKAEHMvvxg?t=327

In that regard I'm not surprised it fucked the vehicle. Driving way too fast through water that deep is something I would never do and even the initial puddle is about as sketchy as I've tolerated in a high SUV. I just think it's hilarious that the Cybertruck was specifically advertised as a boat since its announcement to the point that it's probably the only vehicle in the world with its own stupid beep boop mode for it, while the basic design of the chassis fucks the whole truck if it gets wet. A heavy storm will probably fuck these things as much as a car wash or a puddle or parking on deep snow.

Genius, mount the seat to the battery so when the salt water eventually shorts the whole pack out your passengers are basically sitting on a bomb.

An electric chair lol

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago

I think we need more water if anything.

This guy is such a dumbass. data-laughing

The interior actually looks kinda nice though, clean.

[-] blakeus12@hexbear.net 44 points 7 months ago

except for the lack of dials, buttons, and knobs which is dangerous as shit

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

Yeah, this wouldn't be surprising. I only saw the little bit shown in the video.

Guy sounds a little bit like Vince Russo, bro.

I'm always looking for an excuse to post this video. Those motorcycles probably still run now, ten years later, too.
