Shit the Cybertruck cannot handle:
- Being washed in the sun
- Car washes while not in car wash mode
- Bird poop
- Tree sap
- Oil
- Grease
- Insects
- Road salt
- Towing something over 100 miles
- Pressing the accelerator or brake pedals too hard
- Closing the “frunk” without chopping injuring people’s fingers/hands
- Self-driving
- Bullets
- Fast-charging
- Puddles
- Fingerprints
- Hail
- Metal ball
- More to be discovered….
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.
- metal ball
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”?
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
idiotspeople 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
I like that dial
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.
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.
My bad, responded to the wrong comment.
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.
I’m not sure who you’re referring to. Do you mean that SpaceSex dude?
What’s with that short link?
Cuz that’s like what I do. Open it, it’s harmless and rather funny.
Fine, downvote me all day long for using tinyurl. If you prefer the original link which I archived, with advertising and all, here ya go…
I didn’t downvote you, I just have a healthy distrust of link shorteners. There is absolutely zero reason for using them around here.
It’s called a meme. Permanently archived, and makes for a nice small tidy QR code if one so chooses to present it that way.
Also, not sure why you used some alternate service to reveal the full link, you can do that right from tinyurl…
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
I have never in my life encountered a car wash that required neutral for any reason.
You drive in, park, and wait, then when it’s done it tells you to drive forward through the blow dryer.
Are you like…16 and just got your license or something lmfao or maybe are you in the EU?
That style of carwash isn’t widely adopted in the US due to the cost of complexity. The standard automatic car wash here is the conveyor belt type system that drags your car along and absolutely needs your car to be in neutral
I’ve definitely seen plenty of carwashes that have you park and drive forward. It’s really a mixed bag, possibly regional as well.
TBF at least on the east coast the conveyor belt types have been being replaced over the last 20 years…
I don’t even know where one still exists in the mid Atlantic.
Still makes them young though :p
They just opened a new one near my house, in Philly suburbs. https://www.jrscarwash.com/
Mid 30s in the US. Have lived in 4 states since getting my license. Never seen a conveyor-driven. Maybe as a kid and I don’t remember it at all, but certainly not that I’ve ever knowingly encountered as a driver.
You’re used to in-bay automatic washes, but there are also tunnel washes that use a conveyor to pull your car through it. You need to be in neutral for the conveyor to work. Tunnel washes aren’t as common in North America compared to Europe.
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”
Good thing it has full self driving otherwise I’d end up in a pond!
And if you wind up in a pond you’ll drown.
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.
You also can’t drive any Tesla vehicles in the rain. Source
