Tesla Cybertruck Owner Discovers Unexplained ‘Wade Mode’ Buried in Settings

The Tesla Cybertruck reveal was one of the most hotly anticipated car reveals in history and, love it or hate it, Elon Musk's low-polygon pickup is an attention-magnet. So why does the world have to find out about the Cybertruck's mysterious "Wade Mode" from X (formerly Twitter) user Nic Cruz Patane, instead of during its reveal?

Patane posted a photo of what seems to be an off-road vehicle settings menu on the Cybertruck's infotainment screen. There are a few different setting adjustments, such as "Off-Road Mode," another mode that's blocked by Patane's finger (Articulation Mode maybe?), "Handling Balance," "Stability Assist," and the aforementioned "Wade Mode."

The description for the latter reads: "Raises ride height and pressurizes battery when driving through water."
