Tesla Cybertruck turns into world's most expensive brick after car wash - Lemmy.World

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

“To prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.),”

Not washing it could fuck it up. Got it.

“CAUTION Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage (for example, to the charge port or windshield wipers). Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty.”

Also washing it could fuck it up.

What does car wash mode do?
I don’t know about the Cybertruck or its charging port, but cars do have rain sensors to activate the wipers automatically when it rains. Car wash mode likely turns those sensors off to prevent damage to the wipers.
It must be something more substantial, tearing the windshield wiper off wouldn’t brick the truck
Or maybe it does, who knows. It’s the Cybertruck afterall
