There is a video of a cybertruck driving through around 1m of water in wade mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lKAEHMvvxg

Cheap plastic panels fall off in two places seemingly without any impact, exposing the whole underbelly and electrical system in the rear to water. The body retains water hours later and the buttons to open the trunk no longer work with them progressively failing in the hours since.

"Overall guys, things do seem to be... fairly normal. I do hear some water sloshing around in there. I'm guessing it will, kind of, you know, get out of where it's at. Overall the front was pretty dry. The trunk was pretty dry."

I love my Tesla so much even though I drove it through the car wash in car wash mode and it broke it. It's so hard to design a vehicle that can resist water, and honestly why would anyone get their precious car wet in the first place? I can't think of a real world use case for getting your car wet so honestly you really can't blame the genius Tesla engineers for this.

my 20 year old toyota surviving the car wash as if nothing has happened

🤓 @MuskFanNTR

Stop spreading fud. This is standard legal wording. It's completely normal for a car to not be able to survive a car wash. This didn't happen. Heh, source: trust me bro. #laterhaters #tesla @elonmusk #pleasefuckmywife

When he opened the door my eyes went right to the dash and that there's no speedometer no tachometer, no gauges whatsoever and it's so jarring. This car is a living nightmare.

lmfao wasn't musk claiming to be working on "boat mode" or something equally stupid? And this fucking joke can't even go through a car wash without shorting like an iphone dropped in a pool?

You know what, actually I support this, every cybertruck owner should try to ford the nearest body of water immediately

Just don't buy a Tesla. Simple as.

Wtf is a car wash mode?

My awesome new meme car is so cool that washing it voids the warranty. I definitely don't regret this purchase.

Wait you can't use fucking windshield wiper fluid?

What the fuck are you supposed to do if you window is dirty, slam on the breaks and hop out with a chamois?

This is insane, this has to be fake. Right?

You can't even get these fuckin cars wet?

What kinda Gremlins shit is this lmao

even if you turned on Car Wash Mode.

well it actually sounds like not even car wash mode will save you. which is very normal for vehicles, of course.

Teslas have garbage build quality, especially for the prices, with tons of panel gaps. I'm not shocked that when E ~ L ~ O ~ N tried hyping up a theoretically off-road capable truck, it'd turn out like this.

lmao

A deeply unserious car for for deeply unserious persons.

but if you put it in car wash mode but don't wash it, that also voids the warranty

i would honest to god rather walk to work than take a fucking cybertruck. what the hell

Where the fuck is the speedometer and shit? Is it supposed to be on the guy's non-working screen, off to the right?

These things seem like such a curse, and inferior to a bog-standard normal car in every way.

Washing the car in sunlight voids the warranty.

Washing the car under moonlight also voids the warranty, because moonlight is just reflection of sunlight.

Washing the car during a lunar eclipse also voids the warranty, as the stars are just distant suns.

Washing the car indoors at a carwash also voids the warranty, unless you turn on Car Wash mode.

Washing the car indoors in Car Wash mode may void the warranty, at our discretion. (Spoiler: we probably will)

Teslas are the gremlins of our generation.

In Australia at least, I feel like that warranty voiding would be an easy win in court.

If musk made one of these in his garage it would have been a pretty normal self build. I can't believe this actually made it to production
