Tesla Cybertruck Driver Detained After Engaging ‘Wade Mode’ and Finding Themselves in a Lake
whether the Tesla Cybertruck can be trusted for reliability, this frequently divisive vehicle is once more in the limelight, although probably not for the reasons Tesla would hope for. The truck, which boasts a 325-mile range, includes several features designed to enhance the driving experience, such as an Overland Mode for off-road use and a Slippery Surface option to help maintain grip. However, the truck’s “Wade Mode” has recently landed one driver in trouble.
A driver of a Cybertruck in Grapevine, Texas, is currently facing legal charges after deliberately driving his truck into a lake. The driver claims that he was testing the Wade Mode function, which permits operation in water bodies. According to his statement, he has previously taken the vehicle into water several times, even in the Atlantic Ocean. Ultimately, he describes the incident as a “miscalculation” because water may have infiltrated the truck’s charging port.
Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has praised the water capabilities of the Cybertruck since at least September 22, 2022, when he tweeted on X that “Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes & even seas that aren’t too choppy.” Moreover, discussions on X have been notably polarizing, with users either criticizing or supporting the driver’s actions. There has been no indication yet whether the lake incident has caused the truck’s value to drop like others that faced a decline post-launch.

Apple Announces 31% Surge in iPhone Shipments in Latin America, Fueled by Expansion in Mexico
A recent report from Omdia reveals that iPhone shipments in Latin America climbed by 31% year on year in Q1 2026, largely driven by the robust performance of the iPhone 17 and an outstanding 80% rise in shipments in Mexico.
As per Omdia, Samsung retained its top position in the Latin American smartphone arena, delivering 12.9 million units and achieving a 37% market share, reflecting a 9% improvement from the previous year. Xiaomi came in second with 6 million units and a 17% share, while Motorola secured third position with 4.9 million units and a 14% share. HONOR took fourth place with 3.4 million units and a 10% share, and Apple completed the top five with 1.8 million units, which accounts for a 5% market share.
Although Apple saw a slight increase of 400,000 shipments, its 31% yearly growth was the highest among leading brands, closely trailed by HONOR with a 30% gain. Overall, the smartphone market in the region recorded 34.8 million shipments, indicating a modest 3% growth. This growth was constrained by shortages and rising prices of memory components, which impacted the availability of affordable devices, as noted by Omdia’s Senior Analyst, Miguel Ángel Pérez.
The report emphasizes that the top five markets made up 73% of total shipments in Q1 2026, with Brazil and Mexico being the only regions where Apple had a notable presence. In Brazil, Apple secured a 5% market share, while in Mexico, the company rose to third place with a 16% share, thanks to the remarkable performance of the iPhone 17 series.
Looking forward, Omdia predicts that increasing memory costs will become more noticeable in retail prices starting late Q2 2026, especially for devices priced under $300. This scenario highlights the significance of higher-end models for Apple, as the iPhone mainly competes in segments that are less sensitive to price changes.
