I was watching a Cybertruck driver “test the truck’s wade mode,” and was treated to some accidental comedy.

He manages to break a wheel well cover off, fry the electronics for the bed, and flood the frame. Like, enough water in the frame that he can hear it.

      I’m pretty sure my Altima could make it through that water. And even if it was damaged afterwards, at least parts wouldn’t literally just start falling off.
