From its first presentation, Tesla’s Cybertruck established itself as a futuristic SUV, promising great feats. After a crazy number of pre-orders, the electric vehicle is gradually revealing its capabilities to the general public. One of its features allows the Cybertruck to pressurize its battery to drive in shallow water, like a science fiction machine.
This is sick. Cybertruck has a toggle for “Wade Mode” in the Off-Road Baja Settings

The Cybertruck pressurizes its battery to drive on water
After revealing its mysterious interior, the Tesla Cybertruck presents its Wave Mode. Thanks to the latter, the electric SUV rides in the water like a kind of boat, raising its ride height to cross rivers and other shallow lakes. The only condition? Let the water not reach the bumpers.
When the battery is pressurized, it keeps water out unlike Tesla electric car batteries that are sealed to keep water out. The Cybertruck therefore seems to keep its promises as an all-terrain vehicle suitable for extreme conditions.
Elon Musk announces boat mode
We are going to offer a mod package that enables Cybertruck to traverse at least 100m of water as a boat.
Mostly just need to upgrade cabin door seals.

It seems that this Wave Mode is only the first step for the Cybertruck if we are to believe Elon Musk. On If the promise is kept, the electric SUV would (almost) justify its price $20,000 higher than expected!
