Tesla Cybertruck has a water drive mode

Tesla Cybertruck is pick up off-road, but its capabilities may go beyond what we are used to seeing in cars of this type. Before last week’s presentation, she was seen entering the Texas Sea, raising doubts about whether it was a simple experiment or whether she could actually be subjected to such conditions. Now we know that Cybertruck has the function of driving on water.…

Thanks to the fact that the Tesla Cybertruck is already in the hands of its first owners, we were able to learn about other features that, for one reason or another, the electric vehicle manufacturer did not explain in detail. One of them is Wade regime, the purpose of which is to facilitate manipulation in water. Obviously, at shallow depths, since the point is not that pick up transforms into a boat and can float…

After activation Wade regimeThere are two situations going on in the Tesla Cybertruck. First, increases its height slightly relative to the ground, which prevents water from getting onto components it shouldn’t touch. But even if this happens, the modality will also pressurizes the battery to prevent water from entering.

At this point, it is important to note that the Tesla Cybertruck battery sealing is security additionsince the rest of the brand’s models, like any other electric car, are sealed, which prevents water from entering in adverse weather conditions.

Now, while Wade Mode’s description defines what happens when it’s activated, there are still questions about what the limitations are. It is not indicated, for example, to what depth one can go..

However, if we analyze the aforementioned test conducted in Texas, as well as Tesla’s own Cybertruck promotional materials on its website, we can intuitively understand that Wade regime This only works at very shallow depths.

However, it is strange that Elon Musk’s executives do not provide further details. Especially with the first examples already in circulation, some owners will want to know what their Cybertruck can or can’t do; No matter how crazy the idea of ​​putting it into the sea is…

“The Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve as a boat for a while, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even mild seas,” Elon Musk said last year. The presence of Wade Mode could very well fulfill this promise, it just needs to be explained more clearly about its capabilities.

It was November 30th when Tesla unveiled the production version of the Tesla Cybertruck in front of hundreds of attendees at a private event in Texas. Those who made—and kept—their reservations over the years also received their unit. Mass production and deliveries will begin next year. However, if you decide to separate your pick up Right now, you’ll get it sometime in 2025.
