    I don’t understand what “wade mode” does?

    If there’s an air intake, it’s just for cooling, not combustion. So like what is the point of “moving it to a snorkel position” or whatever?

      There’s a photo of what it does. Absolutely nothing good, ruins the car and takes you to jail 😂

        Pressurizes battery compartment, lifts the suspension to maximum height, and triggers a few off-road adjacent drive train features IIRC

        Well, that’s what the manual says, but this Cybertruck’s battery pack was about as pressurized as a submarine with screen doors, so your mileage will DEFINITELY vary
