Tesla Cybertruck No Match For Car Wash

"That's the only thing I've done that's different. Then I pulled it in the garage, and nothing."

After just a couple of months and a few thousand miles of ownership, Tik Tok user @captian.ad’s Tesla Cybertruck was effectively a several-thousand-pound paperweight for several hours. After taking his truck to the beach and stopping off at a car wash to clean it up, he parked the truck in his garage, where it decided to just stop working for a while. The screen, which runs all functions of the truck, went black, and wouldn’t respond at all, even after performing the factory prescribed reboot procedure. Not great.

After filing a ticket with Tesla to get the truck rebooted, the Cybertrucker went to bed and woke up the next morning to a mostly functional truck. A call with Tesla confirmed that the truck had needed a complete reboot which took over five hours of sitting to complete. From the moment he’d initiated the reboot method of holding down two steering wheel buttons, the truck was apparently working on a reboot until some time in the middle of the night.

Interestingly the user doesn’t mention whether Tesla was able to offer any insight as to why the truck decided to stop working, if it was caused by the car wash or something else entirely. The Cybertruck’s owners manual does caution against ever washing the truck in direct sunlight, and there is a section expressly mentioning that the truck has to be switched into “Car Wash Mode” before washing to avoid damage to parts of the vehicle.

If you’re out there driving a Tesla Cybertruck, maybe don’t wash it for a while. You never know when you’ll be left stranded waiting for the truck to sort itself out in five hours or so.

Absolutely no one should be getting a EV. Basically right now, Gas cars are what you would consider standard tv’s, and EVs could be what you consider HD tvs. But before LED was standard, there was plasma tvs and LCD tvs.

It’s easier to make an investment in a TV that will be priced out and obsolete in the years coming, than it is to spend that many thousands on a unfleshed out tech with 30,000 plus cars that take over an hour to charge and have a shortage on where you can charge them and get them serviced.

Best to not invest in any of that until a standard is set. Tesla is not the standard
 
Holy shit how am I just now seeing this thread?

The first iteration is always a beta test always wait for the next gen. models.

And this a brand new auto manufacturer too.

Never buy the first gen. In 6 months the shit will sound like your grand pappys lil red toolbox that he keeps next to the lawnmower.
 
This an old story but still funny. Yall ever notice that you no longer see those fancy rubber hub caps, on cyber trucks? Thats because they were digging into the sidewall of the tires, so they discontinued them until a possible redesign.

Tesla Cybertruck Wheel Covers Are Chewing Up Tires - The Autopian

The Tesla Cybertruck achieves its futuristic looks with modern lighting elements and its slab-sided stainless steel design. Naturally, it needed a wheel and tire package to match. To that end, Tesla designed a set of wheel covers for the model to complete the chunky cyberpunk aesthetic. Except...
