Well, I would say the test results were conclusive, if nothing else.

Obviously, wading ain't swimming. The mode is probably useful in some edge cases. Driving straight into a lake just isn't one of them.

Inconclusive. I think we need a few more volunteers to give it a try. Sample sizes of 1 are not scientific enough for me.

There may be 'downstream' issues if we bury too many cybertrucks in lakes, though...
