    Oh shit, the sun came out and I forgot to put my Cybertruck into “Sunlight Mode”.
    It’s bricked now, but it’s really my fault.

    Telsa’s designers have weird history with water. I get the sense that they just don’t do a lot of proper testing in wet environments.

    For example, it’s not uncommon for a lot of Teslas to actually grow mold in their air filtration system because they don’t properly drain water.

    For example: https://youtu.be/vQxP6PaSmLc

    Can we just say that Cybertruck is basically a sum of everything wrong with right wing wackos?

    “Look at me, I’m a badass, driving around in a badass vehicle, unlike you filthy libruls. … Aww shucks! There’s road salt! And my accelerator pedal just fell off wtf. …OH NO! A LITTLE WATER TOO! Anything but that!”

      I’m amused that liberals bash Tesla for being a conservative virtue signaler by extension of Elon, while conservatives bash Tesla for being an EV virtue signal for liberal tree huggers.

    Not even a water issue.

    The advisor said that “it is a known issue in the Cybertruck that when you do a screen reset, instead of resetting in the standard two minutes, it takes five hours.”

    This is crappy and lax software testing and verification testing.

    “world’s most expensive brick”

    Even this insult gives the Cybertruck too much credit. That piece of shit isn’t worth anywhere near as much as the actual world’s most expensive brick: a standard 400-troy-ounce gold brick, for instance, is worth about $930K today.

    This is nothing new from Tesla. My parents have a Model 3 and they can’t use a car wash at all with it. Hand wash only.

    Gold bricks are worth like $750k so its definitely not the most expensive brick.

    I have zero sympathy for any of the 3878 chumps who wasted their money on this vehicle. They knew exactly what they were getting

      You never know. Someone could make a time travel movie with it one day and then collectors will pay an arm and a leg for the left door.

        “Tell me Future Boy, who’s President of the United States in 2017?”

        “Donald Trump.”

        “Donald Trump? The fraudster? Ha!”

    So, it would block the exit of that car wash because it’s playing dead and sulking?

    Then you need to ask some random people to help you push it away to the side, and everyone gets a good laugh …😅

    Reminds me when foldable smartphones first came out. If you touched them wrong the screen got fucked.
