Many drivers were caught in a recent flash flood in New Orleans, including a Tesla Cybertruck.

On April 10th, heavy thunderstorms wreaked havoc on the southern United States and New Orleans was hit particularly hard. With 70 mile per hour winds and more than 8 inches of rain, many roads became completely impassable, especially for smaller cars. Due to how quickly the rain accumulated, the city’s drainage pumps were unable to move the water fast enough or even generate enough power to fully operate the pumps.

This is especially useful when off-roading and you need to drive through water, such as rivers or creeks.' Elon Musk even once claimed that the Cybertruck could be used to “serve briefly as a boat” saying that it could cross “lakes & seas that aren’t too choppy”. But it’s quite clear that the Cybertruck is not capable of this in any way. Unless they are some very narrow, shallow seas.
