A Tesla Cybertruck accidentally ended up in Ventura Harbor on Monday after the driver mistakenly shifted it into reverse while launching a Jet Ski. The incident required a multi-agency response to prevent potential hazards from the Cybertruck's lithium-ion batteries. TowBoatUS captain Carson Shevitz coordinated the rescue, carefully attaching the truck to a tow truck to bring it ashore. Despite initial concerns over battery damage, the electronics appeared intact without signs of gas release. Tesla cautioned that damaged batteries pose a risk of fires that can't be extinguished with water.
When I first heard that it's a Cybertruck, I immediately thought of the batteries... it was an 'oh great,' because there's a lot of unknown things we have to figure out.
Fortunately, the truck's electronics did not appear to be severely damaged by the dip. Shevitz's team did not spot any bubbling or hissing - signs that Tesla's engineers warned could indicate the batteries were releasing gas.
