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
😂 Some of the time, the jokes are hard to shoehorn into the articles. This time? The jokes practically wrote themselves
This got me thinking, you’re right, how can it be a boat if it can’t float?
Turns out, everything is bigger in Texas, including the legal definition of what constitutes a boat.
Is it motorized, above 14 feet in length, and afloat, docked, or stored on Texas waters? Then it’s a boat that needs to be registered, fam.

what’s the difference between a 200 pound average male passenger and a 2026 Cybertruck RWD at 6,117 pound curb weight?
It’s mostly in your head, I feel like.
Boonhet is correct on this. The rescue vehicle getting a running start, that works and does not damage the vehicle when done correctly (it’s slower than you might think).
You can watch a Youtube video if you want to see it done correctly, but the straps designed for the purpose are cheap, I’ve got one in my Tacoma just in case.
I mean, there are traffic violations, and then there are traffic violations - if there’s a dead body at the end, it was the second type.
Neither is desirable, but it would actually be a big win to create a tech system that drives a car that produces fewer fatalities per mile than the average human, regardless of whether or not it generates speeding tickets or other inconveniences.
That’s my opinion, anyway. I won’t downvote you, I only downvote comments unhelpful to the overall conversation, you’re not being unhelpful, I just disagree with you.
I was actually surprised that Waymo had only thousands of units in operation.
That being said, 3,000 commercially operating for years with zero fatalities, that’s not nothing. It’s not a ton, it doesn’t change the world (much), but it isn’t zero. Tesla’s result so far rounds down to zero.
No, no, the AI calls APIs.
That is to say, A.ctual P.eople in I.ndia
Do they know how to scale up an autonomous taxi service? I mean, maybe? There’s no sign of that anywhere in the Tesla data, though.
The original target was Robotaxis to cover “half the US population by the end of 2025,” so we’re nowhere close to on-target, and those goals weren’t given with any asterix on the earnings call when they were declared. I don’t see any reason to move the goalpost, it’s just a miss taken to a funny conclusion.
“Fiverr-guy Supervised” didn’t have the same ring to it
Interestingly, it appears to drift in the videos - unclear if while it is powered on if it exceeds the depth rating. I lean towards no? I can’t find any extended section of the video where it is either foundering or floating while in motion.
It 100% exceeds the depth rating later (like in your screencap), but it’s floating or sliding into deeper water after being bricked.
