Description

A Texas man allegedly drove his Tesla Cybertruck straight into Grapevine Lake with passengers inside, claiming he was trying to test the vehicle’s “Wade Mode” feature. Police say 70-year-old Jimmy Jack McDaniel intentionally sent the truck into the water, triggering a massive rescue response as crews worried about submerged batteries, safety violations, and possible environmental hazards. What started as a bizarre stunt ended with McDaniel arrested on multiple misdemeanor charges and banned from returning to the lake. Law&Crime’s Elizabeth Millner goes Inside the Crime.

the entitlement to do this more than once in a fresh water lake is insane

When he was told he was being tresspassed, he asked if it was only for that boat ramp. He's definitely going to do it again.

You can have enough money to buy a 70k truck, but you'll never have enough money to get some common sense.
