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."

How the fuck did this completely unimpressive, incredibly stupid dipshit get such a cult following they'll make a positive review video of their 80k vehicle having multiple failing systems after driving through a large puddle?

I honestly think a Subaru would handle that better, Even though it's lower to the ground. Especially with a snorkel.

Love my under powered Impreza that slams the bumper on the slightest of dips

My lancer scrapes the front bumper on every curb I've ever glanced at the wrong way

Fucking idiot drove into 20 inches of water at 30mph. What an absolute moron

the sad part is it might have survived relatively unscathed if he'd just gone slow (also if it wasn't fucking shaped like a brick), but that wouldn't match the fake image of an ubercar that can just power through anything without breaking a sweat. Fascist ass vehicle for a fascist-ass man.
