Cybertruck can cross rivers, lakes, seas

“Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren't too choppy”
— Elon Musk · Sep 29, 2022 · Musk tweet, Sep 29 2022 ↗

What actually happened

Still disputed. No 'boat mode' or certified water-crossing capability has ever shipped, and multiple owner reports of water-stranded Cybertrucks stand unrebutted. No new developments found in 2026 reporting. Re-graded missed (2026-07-05 audit): there is nothing genuinely contested here. No boat capability ever shipped — Wade Mode (32-inch depth, brief shallow fording) is explicitly not boat mode, and real-world attempts ended with a Cybertruck stuck in a river (Apr 2025) and one disabled and taking on water in Grapevine Lake (May 2026). A clean miss, not a dispute. Electrek — Cybertruck disabled in Grapevine Lake, May 2026 ↗
