First responders had to remove a Tesla Cybertruck from Grapevine Lake late Monday evening, after the Grapevine Police Department said the driver intentionally drove it into the water. Grapevine Police Officers responded to the Katie’s Woods Park boat ramp, located off Katie’s Woods Drive, around 8 p.m. They arrived and found the Cybertruck in the lake near the shoreline. The department said the driver, Jimmy Jack McDaniel, told them he intentionally drove the vehicle into the lake to try and use its “Wade Mode” feature. However, the Cybertruck was disabled and took on water, police said, prompting the driver and a passenger to abandon it. The vehicle was removed with the help of the Grapevine Fire Department’s Water Rescue Team.
Police said McDaniel is charged with operation of a vehicle in a closed section of the lake, not having a valid boat registration and other water safety equipment violations. The department reminds drivers that while a vehicle may be physically capable of entering shallow freshwater areas, doing so could create legal and safety concerns under Texas law. “We wouldn’t encourage willingly driving your vehicle into the water,” said Katharina Gamboa of the Grapevine Police Department. “You know, not only that, it’s a safety concern, but it’s also a legal concern as well.” Gamboa said the city has boating ramps for safely putting your boats or permitted marine vessels into the lake. “We don’t encourage your cars going into the water,” she said. “So, we do prohibit motor vehicles from driving along the lake. It’s a safety issue.” According to Gamboa, Grapevine has a lot of lake goers and people at the beaches of the lake. She said children play on the shoreline, and it’s not safe to have a vehicle driving along that area.
