I don't understand what "wade mode" does?
If there's an air intake, it's just for cooling, not combustion. So like what is the point of "moving it to a snorkel position" or whatever?
There’s a photo of what it does. Absolutely nothing good, ruins the car and takes you to jail 😂
In that case, Cybertrucks should all have it enabled by default 😁
IIRC it pressurizes the battery compartment so that water can't get in and probably some other crap too
Pressurizes battery compartment, lifts the suspension to maximum height, and triggers a few off-road adjacent drive train features IIRC

Raises suspension to max height.
Basically just blows hard all over
