12:56 PM · May 19, 2026"Yesterday, GPD and GFD were dispatched to Grapevine Lake, where a Tesla Cybertruck was stranded in the water. The driver drove into the lake to use the 'Wade Mode' feature when the vehicle became disabled. The passengers abandoned the vehicle and the driver was arrested."
@_L1vY_ I love, love, love that they got him on not having a valid boat license.

and they say the perfect news story doesn’t exist.
Oh my god there’s video and it’s beautiful."
@L1vY@mstdn.social Apparently one of the crimes he was charged with was not having a license for a boat. But you don’t need a license to have an anchor!

@_L1vY_ Every story like this makes me realize that the target audience for the Cybertruck was very stupid people. And it seems to have worked.

@liquor_american As I understand it the wrecker truck use costs like $10K, presumably he'll be getting some kind of bill!
