Shit the Cybertruck cannot handle:
Thank you. Added.
How is this thing supposed to be used as a boat?
Elon never promised it would have a boat mode. I mean he did but it was totally a joke or something. Like when he said the cyber truck would start at 30k. Really funny joke.
Well in all fairness has it been shown that it won't float yet?
You press 'upside down' mode on the screen, duh.
Some hail in Texas broke a windshield

Ball bearings.
Wasn't rain one of them?
Don't forget dogs pissing on the tire.
Wait, is the fingers though true?
I've seen at least two videos on Youtube where the hosts were telling other people in the video to watch their hands/fingers when it was closing. I'm guessing no one wants to try it. Oh, and there was that video where someone chopped a bunch of carrots with a Cybertruck, so there is something to this.
To be fair my little Civic could snap carrots if I close the trunk on it.
Did your Civic cost ~$80k and was designed by some of the world's top engineers?
No to the first question and yes to the second. Got it specifically cause of its low price.
Honda does make some excellent motors.
They also look approachable from a home repair aspect. I drive a PT Cruiser Chrysler before and Jesus christ the motor was made for ants, I couldn't fit my hands anywhere and any repair needed other things removed that were in the way.
“the truck has to be switched into ‘Car Wash Mode’ before washing”
Indeed. Maybe I needed to highlight this little tidbit better.
Still seems like it breaks anyway.
Is it sad that I can’t tell if this is a real mode and warning? So what happens if it rains hard, someone sprays your car with a hose, or you drive through a big puddle and you’re not in “Car Wash Mode”?

Depends. Is the car in direct sunlight at the time?
Why does this make a difference?
Cuz they rust faster when wet in the sunlight. Known fact about the Cybertruck.
That is not ideal.
I think I like paint more than worrying about preventing rust on a new vehicle in the summer.
Oh, that’s easy. If it’s raining hard you put it in hard rain mode, if you’re going to drive through a big puddle you have to put it in big puddle mode, please note, there is also a small puddle mode for smaller puddles. And if someone sprays your car with a hose you have to put it in hose mode.
All of these modes are also deeply nested within the touchscreen menu you have to use for everything while driving, because that's totally safe. At least there's a highly reliable self-driving mode that totally doesn't suffer from the fact that Tesla removed radar for cost reasons (they even disabled it on cars that already had it).
Mazda once measured that every single touchscreen input while driving caused a steering impulse and that drivers looked away from the road for a significant amount of time to navigate through menus. That's why their infotainment systems relied on a dial and buttons instead - until 2023, when they gave up and conveniently forgot about this study, because lots of ~~idiots~~ people were complaining about not having a tablet computer to play around with while driving.
No no, you're supposed to pause the vehicle first before operating the touchscreen, but that's a monthly subscription..
/s
And if you drive through a big puddle in small puddle mode, your cybertruck will automatically report to tesla and void your warranty before breaking.
That seems like a real mode but mostly around convenience? Rolling up windows, turning off wipers, neutral/free roll are all things you'd naturally do manually before entering a wash... I can even understand charging capabilities damage from not locking the port and having water forced into it, but none of this explains why a wash would completely kill the truck.
The huge panel gaps and central wiring harness would explain a car wash being lethal to the cyber truck.
You’ve got panel gaps as big as your thumb on some of those $100k “trucks” and from what I understand, every wiring harness in the car feeds back to one central harness. Get water anywhere on a live contact and it’s going to short something.
“Thermonuclear explosion proof glass” but it can’t handle a standard gas station car wash. Put away your guns and hydrogen bombs, guys. All you need to bring down the Pedestrian Crusher 9000 is a super soaker with some salt water.
Shit my 1999 Ford truck knows it is car wash mode without any of this fussing around. Just roll the windows up (or you know don't if you are feeling frisky) and the truck is in car wash mode.
You'd almost like to think a 'smart' vehicle would be smart enough to know when it's getting a bath...
😂🤣
So far, everything humans have created is only as smart as their creators and, well, we all know who is running Tesla.
Well to be entirely fair, if going through an automatic car wash, you have to put any car into Neutral so it's kinda like putting them into "carwash mode" lmao
To be honest so does my watch…
So do you have to do this when driving in a storm?
no, no – for a storm, you clearly have to go into “Water” menu, then select “Natural” menu, then select “from the Sky” menu, then select “Storm Mode”
Saw earlier today and still laughing, needs to catch on - the Incel Camino
"Have none of you idiots ever heard of rain?????", the PM exasperated to the Engineers after being told the drone went rogue as it was washed before its presentation to the board.
