Apparently the owner's son tried the vehicle's off-road abilities. Seems the electronic module/ can-bus got wet, causing malfunction. Then the tide came in, and he had to wait till low tide to be able to tow it out.
(Struisbaai Plaat beach).

What kind of 4x4 packs up just because it gets a bit wet?

in a phone interview he states they could'nt call for help " cos I lost my phone and my buddy who I don't want to name had a flat battery" lol

Saw a similar article with a Jeep in Swakopmund doing the rounds on social media recently.

He is lucky it never got washed out to sea. I have seen a Toyota Hilux washed out to sea and washed back up 2 days later.
