A man is facing multiple charges after police said he intentionally drove a Tesla Cybertruck into Grapevine Lake in Texas to test the vehicle’s “Wade Mode” feature. The Grapevine Police Department said officers responded to the area near Katie’s Woods Boat Ramp after reports of a ve hicle in the water. When officers arrived, they found the Cybertruck partially submerged near the shoreline. According to police, the driver claimed he drove into the lake “intentionally” to use the Cybertruck’s Wade Mode capability. Police said the vehicle became disabled and began taking on water. Crews with the Grapevine Fire Department assisted in removing the truck from the lake using a wrecker. No injuries were reported. The driver, identified as Jimmy Jack McDaniel, faces multiple charges, including operating a vehicle in a closed section of a park, no valid boat registration, and water safety violations, according to police. NBC5 spoke with McDaniel, who said he has driven the truck in water several times before without incident, including in the Atlantic Ocean. In a statement, Grapevine police warned drivers against attempting similar stunts. “Although a vehicle may be physically capable of entering shallow freshwater areas, doing so can create legal and safety concerns under Texas law,” the department said.
