Bulletproof? Is it waterproof? Ts&Cs say: 'Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage'

Bulletproof? Is it waterproof? Ts&Cs say: ‘Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage’

So, it would block the exit of that car wash because it’s playing dead and sulking?

Then you need to ask some random people to help you push it away to the side, and everyone gets a good laugh …😅

It’s almost like they make a Fisker Ocean or a Hummer EV

This is literally an article about nothing happening at all.

I would call a car that can be knocked out of commission for half a day because you washed it worth a story.

Read the article though. All that really happened was a delay in reboot. The headline is nothing like what actually happened, which was consumer mishap, essentially.

It needed to be rebooted because he washed it ‘wrong’. and its a known issue that after the car gets too wet reboots can take hours upon hours like this.

I have zero sympathy for any of the 3878 chumps who wasted their money on this vehicle. They knew exactly what they were getting

You never know. Someone could make a time travel movie with it one day and then collectors will pay an arm and a leg for the left door.

“Donald Trump.”

Telsa’s designers have weird history with water. I get the sense that they just don’t do a lot of proper testing in wet environments.

For example, it’s not uncommon for a lot of Teslas to actually grow mold in their air filtration system because they don’t properly drain water.

“There’s no water on Mars so we don’t have to worry about it” - Elon, probably

This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can’t use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.

This is definitely not true. Teslas can absolutely go through a car wash. They do recommend touchless ones, but pretty much every manufacturer does.

I’ve been doing that for years. Guess I always knew these were coming

Appropriate, since I always reflexively start doing the Hand Wash gesture every time I see one.

Oh shit, the sun came out and I forgot to put my Cybertruck into “Sunlight Mode”.
It’s bricked now, but it’s really my fault.

Gold bricks are worth like $750k so its definitely not the most expensive brick.

Not even a water issue.

The advisor said that “it is a known issue in the Cybertruck that when you do a screen reset, instead of resetting in the standard two minutes, it takes five hours.”

This is crappy and lax software testing and verification testing.

That’ll be 80k, 100k.

Which is incredible considering Tesla’s software is typically considered their strong point. This is just a train wreck.

It was an expensive brick before the car wash, too.

To all the chuds that bought this…

Can we just say that Cybertruck is basically a sum of everything wrong with right wing wackos?

“Look at me, I’m a badass, driving around in a badass vehicle, unlike you filthy libruls. … Aww shucks! There’s road salt! And my accelerator pedal just fell off wtf. …OH NO! A LITTLE WATER TOO! Anything but that!”

I’m amused that liberals bash Tesla for being a conservative virtue signaler by extension of Elon, while conservatives bash Tesla for being an EV virtue signal for liberal tree huggers.

So Cybertruck goes 100% Elon now? … turns into world’s most expensive brick …
