Cybertruck stuck in mud towed from Truckee reservoir

(KRON) — A Tesla Cybertruck was towed from the Boca Reservoir in Truckee Thursday after the driver became stuck in the mud.

The California Highway Patrol’s Truckee office said that the driver became stuck while attempting to offroad around the perimeter of the reservoir using the truck’s “wade mode.”

“[The driver] activated ‘wade mode,’ and waded a bit too far,” CHP Truckee shared on social media. “We’re all for testing boundaries, but maybe not the waterline. Remember folks, ‘wade mode’ isn’t ‘submarine mode.’ If your plans include exploring the great outdoors, make sure to know your limits and the terrain.”

Tesla website warns Cybertruck drivers to use caution when wading water.

“Wade mode allows [a] Cybertruck to enter and drive through bodies of water, such as rivers or creeks,” Tesla’s website reads. “… It is your responsibility to gauge the depth of any body of water before entering. Damage or water ingress to Cybertruck as a result of driving in water is not covered by the warranty.”

CHP Truckee Officer Carlos Perez told KRON4 that the authorities were called to the scene at 5:49 p.m. The Cybertruck was immediately towed from the reservoir due to hazmat concern
