Remember when Elon said the Cybertruck could “serve briefly as a boat”?

> [In Grapevine, Texas](https://www.reddit.com/r/Dallas/comments/1thrcfa/last_night_at_grapevine_lake/), just outside of Dallas, a driver purposely (according to local police) took his Cybertruck into Grapevine Lake at Katie’s Woods Park. As can be expected, the vehicle soon became disabled and took on water, forcing the driver and passengers to abandon it.
> 
> “The driver and passengers abandoned the vehicle and the Grapevine Fire Department Water Rescue Team assisted in removing it from the lake,” Grapevine Police Media Manager Katharina Gamboa told Chron in a statement.
> 
> After escaping the Cybertruck and swimming to shore, the driver was soon “arrested on charges of Operation of Vehicle in the Closed Section of the Park/Lake, No Valid Boat Registration and numerous water safety equipment violations.”
