Cybertruck Turns Into Large Metal Brick After Going Through Car Wash

Despite being designed to be a rugged truck ready for a dystopian hellscape, taking care of a Cybertruck sounds like a nightmare, requiring more babying than virtually any other pickup.

Hilariously, Tesla warns that the truck should never be washed in "direct sunlight" due to possible corrosion in the stainless steel. A special "Car Wash Mode," which closes all windows and disables wipers, should also be used to avoid damage.

Drivers also have to opt out of regular car washes and are told only to use "touchless car washes" that don't make contact with the Cybertruck's surface.

And in case you forget to follow any of this advice, you may be out of luck when it comes to having the company fix your broken-down truck.

"Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage," the company's manual reads. "Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty."

"Damage caused by improper washing" is also not covered.

When non-car engineers design a truck, you can't wash it in a regular car wash.

Reminds me of a comedy from back in the 80s or 90s in which they had this super duper plane (drone?) but were cautioned that it wouldn't work if it got wet, to which someone asked if they had ever heard of rain.

Same here -- if you have to put it in a special mode that disables the wipers when you go through a touchless car wash because not doing so could cause damage not covered by the warranty, what is going to happen when a heavy rainstorm comes upon you?

 

Just leave it in the garage and look at it.

My thoughts after a peek inside: wouldn't it be better -- in oh so many ways -- to just burn the thing to the ground?

I'm sure they will do the equivalent at the scrap yard. The mechanicals (motor, tran, generator, wheels) look pretty good, so some bucks can be made by pulling those. The rest.

Cyclist Ticketed For Confronting NYPD Officer Who Illegally Parked On Sidewalk

 

The bike guy was being a 'unit' but the cop(s) was blocking a fire hydrant and the sidewalk. There are federal ADA rules that make this illegal.

 

I hate stupid traffic circles.

 

‘Muff’ It: Annoyed Neighbor Uses Expanding Foam to Silence Car’s Loud Exhaust

​

While he should probably take the guns down and some people have sympathized with the angry neighbor, it should be noted that doing this to someone’s car by going into their territory is vandalism. Everybody hates a loud exhaust; however, two wrongs don’t make a right.

 

That's a good way to lose your life where I live.

 

 

Ouch! ... pilot error?
