Cybertruck Makes Concerning Noises Driving Through Puddle, But Minor Issue Quickly Fixed
-
Cybertruck drove through a puddle in Moab, Utah and emitted a horrible sound, concerning viewers that electronics weren't properly sealed.
-
The noise was actually just from a loose wheel well liner rubbing on the tire, which was fixed on the spot.
-
The headlights blinking likely stemmed from the truck detecting water on the windshield and triggering safety features.
-
Elon Musk has made big claims about the Cybertruck's water resistance, like serving briefly as a boat, but reality is more modest.
-
Despite warnings, Tesla's new "wade mode" does help the Cybertruck survive and drive through water, just likely not ocean voyages.
