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

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?

    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

    Well, that's what the manual says, but this Cybertruck's battery pack was about as pressurized as a submarine with screen doors, so your mileage will DEFINITELY vary
