The Tesla Cybertruck is known for doing quirky stuff to catch everyone’s attention.

Recently, a YouTuber named Taras Maksimuk took it to another level by testing the Cybertruck’s water-wading ability in a deep puddle.

Initially, Taras was in doubt; however, not after what followed.

He was impressed by the demonstration of the Cybertruck’s durability, leaving surprised at how well it performed.

Tesla Cybertruck tested in deep waters

A car had tried crossing the same puddle but backed away, leaving Taras, who goes by the name TechRax on YouTube wondering if the EV pickup could handle it.

When TechRax drove the pickup into the water, the vehicle looked exceptionally high due to its elevated mode.

The Cybertruck has a Wade mode, which pressurizes the battery and raises the ride height to tackle deeper water.

Activating Wade mode takes around 10 minutes and lasts for 30 minutes.

At 10mph, he drove the Cybertruck into the water, and it handled the deep puddle effortlessly.

Despite the tough conditions, the Tesla truck only had minor rattling sounds and a plastic piece near the fender snapped, but was easily fixed.

The Cybertruck never fails to impress.

Earlier, it surprised everyone by towing a massive tractor, and also when it performed a special holiday-themed Cyber Rave.

The electric EV did not disappoint

After the test, some buttons like the tailgate and cover stopped working, though a phone still controlled them.

As for the frunk and trunk, they remained mostly dry, proving the truck’s water resistance.

Taras mentioned that some water might still be trapped inside, but it didn’t cause any major issues at that moment.

From Taras’ water-wading test to crash tests, drag races, and more, the EV pickup has tackled it all – and there’s still more to come.
