Tesla Cybertruck turns into world's most expensive brick after car wash

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 folds the mirrors in and puts the car in neutral. Stuff like that.

Also locks the charging port, turns off the AC, locks the doors and windows. Still nothing that should prevent the car from breaking in a car wash....

Also, upon reading the article, seems like the car was fine after a reset, it just took 5 hours. Didn't have anything to do with the car wash it seems.

I believe it also closes vents

jesus christ marie, they're alloys!

There's a few things wrong here. First, it's made of steel, which is iron and not aluminum. Second, neither of those is as mineral. Third, aluminum has pretty good corrosion resistance in terms of metals.

None of that is to say that Tesla had any idea what they were doing when designing this monstrosity.

Neither of those are minerals.

To be fair patina looks cool on certain things, I just wouldn't feel comfortable with it on any loving object, who knows what it could damage.

Edit: err um I meant moving not loving. Unless?

It’s a $6000 upcharge. I think you have to make an appointment for it?

Fucks it up

TX and CA do get plenty of rain. In fact, TX gets hit with hurricanes all the time.

It's worse: they are not doing sufficient testing. This is why the larger manufacturers are passing Tesla by - they already have the standards and procedures in place.

Texas has plenty of rain and car washes. This is just bad overall design.

But gold-pressed latinum comes in bricks so I think they would win.

It's just like in my model 3 or my wife's Teluride, the info screen/software can lock up or get stuck in a weird state and both have a way to reset it.

Normally neither would be a big deal, I push a button(s) and the screen goes black, it comes back up, again no big deal but at least with the Teluride, there's a the instrument cluster and heads up display to show your speed. I'm assuming the cyber truck is like my model 3 where the speed is only shown on the center screen. If it take's five hours over the minute of downtime, well that's going to be a problem. That said, in my model 3, I've only had to do this a handful of times on my model 3, mostly because the radio isn't working and only once on the newer Teluride because the map was stupid.

This is truly the Signs of automobiles

You couldn't have predicted that with such a large amount of the planet being covered in it. /s

And this, right here, is why Tesla's stock price is down 50% from its all time high.

Even if it were, it weighs 3,4 tons empty. Most EU Citizens have drivers licenses that allow cars up to 3,5 tons max. weight, including driver, passengers and cargo.

It's impossible to use in the EU without an actual truck driving license.

Thank god. At least I won't die of cringe after seeing this on the streets.

You're forgetting the annual safety inspection required in most US states. That'll catch stuff like brakes wearing out, taillights and headlights that need to be replaced, and other stuff.

The Buran was actually quite technologically advanced. It was able to fly to orbit and land itself completely autonomously.

I think the Vasa is still my favorite. All the others at least were able to leave the docks right side up.

Casa definitely was worth it, just in a different way the king envisioned at the time

so they wouldn’t have known how shitty it actually turned out to be.

Hard disagree here. A) I knew from the first moment they showed a picture of it how bad it would be. You could tell it was a car a 7 year old would design and have all the faults that come with that. B) Those people have had years to cancel those deposits, during which we've seen how shitty it was going to be.

Honestly id trust a Pinto more than a Tesla, atleast if the Pinto catches fire or explodes the doors will still work.

Historical stupid.

My 2 unprofessional cents, I think the way this vehicle was executed wrong. Everybody understands metal rust even if it's stainless steel, if you don't take care of it correctly it will rust. Second, sharp angles on vehicles that will be used by family's is by far reckless, videos show how sharp they are and how the front trunk can do some real damage to body parts. Lastly, we moved away from strong body structure to prevent deaths when accidents happen. Why are we going back to the 60's car body structure? Yes we might have better safety equipment in vehicles now, but we still have vehicles that just have 1 airbag, seatbelts, and bad body structure safety.

The 21st century DeLorean, only no one bothered making a time machine out of it.

He chased away the brilliant people to bounce ideas of and that made that stuff work. Now he's left with a lot of sycophants who just run with every whim. It's the common story for any authoritarian leader.

convinced Amouranth is going to bang them if they spend enough in her Onlyfans tier

Escort services were invented for people like this

This is unrelated, but for the longest time i thought thatwhen people talked about amouranth, i thought they talked about that mmo streamer with the filthy room and similar name. I was very confused why everyone wanted to bang him and drink his bathwater.

That’s a whole other can of worms, that isn’t even worth discussing. People like that need urgent psychiatric evaluations

"Tell me Future Boy, who's President of the United States in 2017?"

"Donald Trump."

"Donald Trump? The fraudster? Ha!"

I make sure to spread my butthole to each and every one of them while it starts up. It’s my morning ritual

There's gotta be some misinformation going around.

I rented a Mach-E recently and drove it a ton around Texas. I was warned at the desk not to take it in a car wash, but I also drove it through the craziest rainstorm my Yankee eyes have ever seen.

You’re telling me gold doesn’t immediately diminish in value after you move it a few feet from where you purchased it?

People pay money for actual bricks, I say we stop this brick-shaming.

So Tesla says they will have the Full Self Driving very soon now for real, but the car can't figure out by itself it's in a car wash.

You'd rather reimburse the car wash company for two hours of that unusable place?

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.
