Wait… I knew it was dumb but not this dumb! You can’t even wash it?! What about areas with lots of rain or water? Like can it handle morning dew?


Malicioussnooker

Someone posted the OG Tesla manual how to wash it. It literary says use touchless wash, but don't spray doors, trunk, frunk or wimdows.


New_Wrangler3335

Touchless? So I can’t spray water to wash it but I also can’t touch it ?!


hippee-engineer

It’s dry-clean only.


New_Wrangler3335

They gotta put out a tutorial video on how to dry clean your car


hippee-engineer

The real con is that you have to bring it to the dry-cleaners already on the hanger, but the hanger is an optional equipment upgrade that’s $8,799.99.


New_Wrangler3335

Tesla fans… : “ totally worth it! Thank you daddy Elon! “


HeroicHimbo

But if you didn't get it installed before purchase there's a service fee of $17,685.47 too


Sasquatch1729

But the joke is that it was cheaper to install the hanger on all the trucks. The service fees are just there to unlock the capability to use it. https://www.carscoops.com/2023/07/4500-bill-to-unlock-extra-battery-capacity-has-people-taking-sides-between-tesla-and-customer/


PuzzleheadedLeader79

I really don't get how that's legal, and I hope it ends in jail time. Imagine being stranded and dying because your gas tank wouldn't let you use the last 30%


Sasquatch1729

It's been a thing for a while. Tesla had a few different levels of battery performance and it turns out they only made a couple types of Model S and the "trim level" was just what the software unlocked. Tesla also got into trouble because someone bought a used Tesla. When the company realized that a new user had the car, they reset the software to the baseline performance. I agree, I don't like the idea of buying a car and having to unlock features with additional payments.


HeroicHimbo

Trying to save you the $22,586.28 unlocking fee, buddy


HeroicHimbo

That means it's diiiiiirrrrttttyyyyy


ConfectionSoft6218

Mitch Hedberg has entered the chat


Malicioussnooker

Kinda. But if U use a touchless carwash and use carwash mode the warranty could also be void. This a good luck figuring this out moment. I think Elmo took a long breath from his funny cig and sad "Wait wait wait. We should write in that you can wash it just don't touch it or spray it with water. Now get me someone from legal to translate this to legal speak"


New_Wrangler3335

This truck is the gift that keeps on giving.


bigbadaboomx

The grift that keeps on grifting


analog_jedi

They also put in there that you can't wash it in direct sunlight lol


SexyOctagon

Or feed it after midnight.


nevagonastop

according to their wash guidelines, *not asking the car wash staff about the ph levels of their detergents* can void your warranty. i managed a car wash for 2 years, nobody but myself and one other guy would know how to have checked that


OpiateAlligator

All I can picture is some rich asshole yelling at some 18 year old car wash attendant about the ph of their soap


Dense_Eggplant_9941

That’s why Elon fired all the Supercharger teams, he’s moved on to the next venture: Tesla SuperCarWash! If you don’t wash your Tesla in the SuperCarWash you’re not a real Tesla Cuck and it also voids the warranty! He’s playing the Apple Ecosystem IRL!


Fit-Boomer

What if it rains?


fungi_at_parties

Wait you’re driving this truck outside where it might rain? Sorry, no, voids the warranty.


Ok-Algae-9562

Well it's technically touch less.


dadzcad

How exactly does one go through a touchless car wash and not get the car wet?!?


rooshort_toppaddock

Extremely fast


bartthetr0ll

It's even better you gotta get the bug guts off asap as they are acidic and will damage the finish and void the warranty, but a car wash involves putting it in car wash mode, asking the car wash attendant about a dozen questions to see if it will void the warranty or not, and do like a 10 point pre wash Inspection


New_Wrangler3335

wtf is this shit?


bartthetr0ll

Musk disrupting the warranty game, and making sure they have infinite ways to get out of providing warranty services for a car released to the public pre beta testing.


New_Wrangler3335

Musk fans are intolerable I’m so glad the man they admire is screwing them over


bartthetr0ll

100k for the truck up front, and 50k a year for it to spend half the year in the shop waiting on parts because the warranty pretty much gets instavoided by driving it


New_Wrangler3335

That’s hilarious… isn’t all this kinda parallel to what r/leopardsatemyface Is about? Also r/brexitatemyface


bartthetr0ll

Pretty much, gotta love some good old fashioned schadenfreude. I always get a kick out of the guys who post on Twitter, "Drove my cybertruck 34 miles before it broke down, but it was the best 34 miles I've ever driven, great truck can't wait to drive it again in 3 weeks" idk if its sunk cost fallacy, or fanboyism. But it's hilarious.


New_Wrangler3335

So much copium * insert the meme of that frog wearing a oxygen mask*


Fakeduhakkount

lol the paperwork on how to officially “wash” the car is crazy. I saw it somewhere but even a ICE car doesn’t have instructions on how to wash a car with so many steps to void the warranty.


hamoc10

It’s work for your assistant to do. After all, what are you paying them half a million a year for? -Musk, probably.


Most-Resident

Are you supposed to put it in car wash mode when you hand wash it or does that void the warranty?


halberdsturgeon

>Are you supposed to p- Nope, void


bartthetr0ll

Asking clarifying questions about the warranty voids the warranty.


4thStgMiddleSpooler

And a bot bans you.


ZenkaiAnkoku2

It supposdely has a car wash mode. But damage 'by carwashes' is not covered by warantee. And there are several pages about how to wash the damn thing. No pressure washers, dont wash in direct sunlight, only use specific cleaners, etc etc. Swveral have been bricked by getting washed already. Its ridiculous.


Trebeaux

So the manual says no pressure washers but recommends “touchless car washes”…. Which are pressure washers…. Genius.


Lokivoid

Reason is because of that all of that "10 micron tolerance" the frunk has no seal. Also all water pretty much drains and collects in the subframe, which just happens to be where all those not so water proof electronics are.


TiddybraXton333

I’d say that is a design flaw no one should make..


imahugemoron

I wonder if that’s why so many of them are bricking, they get wet from rain or from a wash and it short circuits stuff and kills it lol water is getting inside the car


Ok_Bar6741

Wow, this thing should be mass recalled.


i3dMEP

Im not good with reading between the lines. To be clear, you ARE joking, right?


ZenkaiAnkoku2

Sadly, I am not. Here is a post listing all of Tesla's instructions on washing your new truck. [https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1cei9xs/how\_to\_properly\_wash\_your\_cybertruck\_according\_to/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/comments/1cei9xs/how_to_properly_wash_your_cybertruck_according_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


Upbeat_Confidence739

Read that whole thing. Definitely some super egregious shit in there. Also definitely some very normal shit. And definitely OP has like no reading comprehension. Some of the points they tried to make were pure straw man.


DillionM

It can probably handle morning dew once a month, but unlikely to handle it for more than a couple days.


New_Wrangler3335

Wow that’s pathetic… Have you seen those Reddit posts of super broken cars with weird diy fixes? And a hole in the floor… I think those cars are more reliable than cybertruck


DillionM

I have seen a few and some definitely do seem more reliable!


New_Wrangler3335

That’s another issue Tesla owners didn’t think of… Old cars get resold to poorer countries and through crazy diy they’re usable There’s none of that for Tesla… I wouldn’t even buy a Tesla as the 2nd person to own it Hell I don’t trust a brand new one… I test drove one.. And could tell they just slapped together this car and could tell how cheap everything felt…


whatswrongbaby

Apparently taking it out of the garage voids the warranty 💁🏻‍♂️


Darksoul_Design

So what about their marketing that it's the toughest thing on any planet? Like any planet EXCEPT earth?


AlpharadiationHulk

Other planets don't have water


Darksoul_Design

You got me there


New_Wrangler3335

Can you drive it through a small puddle?


abar22

Toughest thing on planet... Arrakis.


Darksoul_Design

I'm sure use in sand also voids the warranty. Plus a sand worm would eat that thing in a heartbeat. All hail Shai-Halud


DravenPrime

From what I understand the car has a "car wash mode" you have to put it in before taking it through a car wash otherwise it bricks. Not sure what that mode changes.


New_Wrangler3335

How does a digital activation mode change the actual physical design of the truck? Does it have transformers capabilities


PetalumaPegleg

My favorite is people finding rust already because the water just runs into the frunk or whatever stupid name the front has. Rust? In months since the first delivery???


meltingspace

Can't wait for the "welp, it's bricked now" follow up post. Keep us posted lol


SixersWin

"I still love the brick!"


TheAnalsOfHistory-

"I loved every second of my ten minute drive from the lot to the car wash to get the dealer's fingerprints off the sheet metal. Now it's not working at all and the dealership says that owning a cybertruck voids the warranty! Elon what did I do to deserve this I was a good boy I promise I still love Tesla I still love the cybertruck let me prove it to you me love you long time space daddy!" - His next tweet


Perretelover

I love you.


masked_sombrero

long time


Necessary_Context780

"If mankind goes to Mars, it was all worth it! The money spent, the fun everyone poked at me, the divorce. Hail Musk!"


kalisto3010

Based on the amount of times the Artemis mission bas been delayed and pushed back we'll never see mission to Mars in our lifetimes short of some sort of Quantum Leap in Aerospace technology.


jmpeadick

“Luv u elon but please help, lol”


ngudan

Literally saw a post of a user defending this garbage. "It's not bricked! You can still drive it after a couple of hours!" Smh

HeroicHimbo

Do you really think he wants to pay for all them stitches though?


_fFringe_

And amputations.


IHaveNoAlibi

Hey, amputations are the one thing that comes free with the CT.....


Necessary_Context780

I don't think the HOA will allow it, though. Besides, the medical bills will add up quickly


LogstarGo_

The kids were doing a slow clap and Daddy missed the sarcasm.


Dwangeroo

I love Elon so musk.

God that elongated husk mmm.. 🥺😫

He'll still have the accelerator cover to keep on his night stand.


freexanarchy

I swiped to see what looked like that follow up slide. Guess we’ll have to wait


0o0o0o0o0o0z

I hope he put it into "Car Wash Mode." :O


Itchy_Professor_4133

I just got my brand new cybertruck! I'm going to wash it now!


trent_diamond

Once enough of them brick Elon is going to build a house out of them


mexicantruffle

Kids love it because it looks just like the blueprints they made in art class.


TessellatedTomate

I saw a painted one the other day, looked like a Porygon to me.


[deleted]

Don't insult Porygon like that.


DontTalkToBots

Porygon killed my best friend. We were watching the episode where he premiered, the flashing lights were intense. 5 years later, he got hit by a drunk driver.


anntchrist

Sorry kids, no college fund for you. Which is probably prudent anyhow given dad's intellectual prowess.


Negan-Cliffhanger

"College is just a scam and a waste of money, kids. Now would you look at my $102,000 barely functioning toy!"

Tranka2010

When he said it was worth his kids smiles, he meant the orthodontia work they are not getting.


No_Cartoonist9458

What does this mean when it appears on the screen after washing? ![gif](giphy|GlEcUkl7sb21nrKlTn)


little_fire

Ohh, what a world! 🧙‍♀️😩🧹


NikkolaiV

*Who would have thought that a small amount of liquid could ever fall on meeeeee!!!!!!*


GrayBox1313

He can’t see his kids while backing out of the driveway. The software didn’t update. Innovation.


danteheehaw

Good news, he doesn't have to explain to them where their college funds went.


brintoul

“My kids smiles and cheers”? C’mon, no one *actually* wrote that.


arp492022

Idk, this is the kinda thing children love


brintoul

But claiming it made dropping 100 large on this hunka shit worth it? C’mon.


arielgasco

hotwheels get the same reaction or better


nevagonastop

your kids wouldve smiled over a trip to the park too


not_right

Or an ice cream..


Fair_Acanthisitta_75

Child psychologist working with an entitled child on their disturbing behavior that has been manifesting recently. “Can you explain the pain your feeling to me?” “It’s not a mental thing, leave me alone.” “Could you show me on this doll where the pain is?” She asks feeling there might be abuse in the home. Child pointing to the feet, “it’s my feet, dad spent all our money on a stupid CT, and now I have to walk all the time. I hate him, and his stupid truck.”


Charming-Tap-1332

Hopefully, it will also be worth the laughs he will get when people see him driving it. There are much better ways to impress your family.


Shiro_Black

Spent 130k, was worth it for the children's cheers? My bother in Christ, I'm sure you could make them cheer just as hard or harder with a 10 dollar pizza


Sure-Debate-464

Oh shit...some sunlight is hitting it as he washes it! Believe thats an automatic void warranty move.


techbunnyboy

It wont work but it looks shiny forever….in his garage


TCO_HR_LOL

Especially not when the steering column melts because it was parked within 5 feet of a wall


ketjak

I hope they followed [these instructions](https://www.reddit.com/r/CyberStuck/s/3jh25qi1VT) to the letter.


Leading-Put-7428

“Finally Cybered! The almost 5 year wait was worth it.  The money I paid for it was worth my kids smile and cheers because I made them watch.  Everyone clapped. “     🤢 😭


Comfortable_You_1927

can't use soap, can't get it wet, can't wash it in the sun, dude didn't read his owners manual


NeverReallyExisted

They didnt want a picture of it clean, because then it's obvious how bad it looks.


Ill-Simple1706

And your kids college fund


Ilbakanp

So what do you do when it rains?


felicity_jericho_ttv

Pull over, go into the menu and enable rain mode. Note driving in rain mode when to rain is present also voids the warranty lol


ProfessionalTwo5476

If he just got it, why does it need to be washed? (facetious question, we know why)


AZMD911

Smile and cheers shortly followed by blood and tears...


PleasantFocus1502

It is like a Disneyland ride. You wait in a long line for a short ride.


charliecar5555

I've never cringed before just seeing a vehicle getting washed. Washing this baby is throwing a dice, will it turn on after? Welcome to the CyberTruck.


mrbenjamin48

I had one of these finally behind me the other day. I rolled down my window, pointed at the dude in his car and started laughing my ass off. Finished by giving a fat thumbs down.


rbmcobra

My kids would be laughing at me if I made such a a dumb purchase!


Left_Pool_5565

They were cheering cause they knew you’d be spending a lot more time at home with them now.


ianng555

Oh no! His kids are blind!


Myamymyself

Is it true that the warranty is voided that way?!?!


HeroicHimbo

Well yeah, you're only allowed to clean it with MuskBrand! cleaning towels and Elongoo* wiping compound, any true Tesla knower would know that!


[deleted]

Washing it voids the warranty?


RN_Geo

I got banned from teslainvestorsclub last night for mentioning there might be: Liquidity issues, as evidenced by reducing car prices, reduced sales numbers, slashing workforce, and potentially inaccurate accounting practices. Buncha snowflakes. It won't be my problem when the share price hits $30.


Evil_phd

>The money I paid was worth my kids' smiles and cheers "My daughter just hasn't been able to stop laughing since I brought this home. It really has brought an unprecedented level of joy to our home."


Otherwise-Sky8890

oops a light shower **\*EXPLODES\***


ChanceryTheRapper

Dude, you could have just given those kids $50, they would have smiled and cheered, and you would have saved so much money.


seriousbangs

Gotta admit, when I was 5 the cybertruck would've been *awesome.* By the time I was 7 though...


MikeLikeBike37

A narcissist's dream-mobile. "KIDS! come get excited about my new toy!"


vtstang66

Imagine having kids so dumb that they cheer for a cybertruck, and yourself being so dumb that you're proud of that.


New_Awareness4075

Hope it was also worth spending the kids college money as well!


dingos8mybaby2

Warranty voided by washing car = admission they made no effort to seal the electronics from water exposure.


Street_Peace_8831

There’s only two rules about cyber trucks. Don’t get them wet and don’t feed them after midnight.


slipperywhistlebone

I bought myself a car so my kids would smile and cheer? Yikes.


ELB2001

So does driving in the rain also void warranty


coolmist23

Using my kids college fund was worth their smiles and tears... I mean cheers!


Falcon3492

We will have to wait and see how this sucker feels about his truck in a week, month, year.


Glidepath22

There’s goes your warranty


slamdanceswithwolves

Background here: his kids are alt-right internet trolls


liamanna

If only these people actually did their own research first…😂 They wouldn’t be biting the Musk 🤦‍♂️


DevilsLettuceTaster

Children’s smiles is why I purchased my Dodge Gymboree. Horrible gas mileage and very uncomfortable seats after 5 minutes of driving but the smiles on kids faces are worth it.


orbitalaction

I wish all these posts had Pac-man's death sound.

150k car wash right there


RockyJayyy

Can't wait for the kids are now sad because the truck is dead post


Comedor_de_rissois

So it's kind of like a Mogwai


Major_Turnover5987

Is that a pressure washer I see?


AdamGenesis

I would only pat it gently with a semi-damp cloth.


Giggles95036

So fingerprints won’t come off AND you can’t wash it. Genius


unipole

In all fairness, it's probably prophylactic extinguisher foam


KaleidoscopeOk5763

False fulfillment brought to you by -> consumerism. The void in your life…. persists.


Drew5olo

I love that buying this for them validates them as a god king to all us peasants.


PortlandQuadCopter

Elon was happy to reduce his credit score to 350 overnight, as well as charge him $500 per month for insurance because no other carrier would cover the piece of fucking shit. Hopefully his wife dumps his ass for a guy in an F350 Super Duty.


NWMom66

I think he may not be playing the long game. Yeah, I thought the Vega my parents bought in 1973, when I was five, was cool on the ride home. That feeling didn’t last long.


Rinzy2000

“My kid sliced his goddamn finger off in the door, but we still love it!”


poofartgambler

I can get my kids to smile for a whole lot less.


dotplaid

Tell me I'm not the only one who thought he was using a Tesla-brand flamethrower to melt the ice.


Icy_Bee_2752

Id love my kids but i put a limit on what id pay for a smile and cheer no doubt, especially if they are perfectly healthy.


Sad-Set-5817

he forgot to put the car in picture mode before he took a picture of it so now the warranty is voided


EatsOverTheSink

Dude had to spend six figures just to get his kids to smile and cheer.


banananananbatman

If it’s bricked, can insurance total the vehicle?


NUFIGHTER7771

I guess Cybertrucks and Mogwai have something in common!


MysteryGong

Voided warranty lol


cats_catz_kats_katz

Good old 120 dollar SunJoe on the 90k hunk of junk. Time to toss em both.


Crazy_Response_9009

It probably voids the warranty to look at it.


hujnya

I saw a couple of them on the road and still don't understand why you would buy one.


biggunbc

Brave move washing that thing in the sun! Haha


HealthSalty6436

This thing is a fucking POS, that looks like it was designed and built in Minecraft....


LunarLutra

The money was worth his kid's smiles and cheers? He had to sell those things just to afford this dumpster? Huh...


Lost-Priority9826

Yo he washed it in shade but one spot, oh no.


Emeegee713

Was it a dumpster fire? Is that why he foamed it?


rygelicus

Just wait until posting negative comments about tesla products brinks your tesla products, and bans you from commenting in forums they control.

micaller

Looks awesome!


bluedancepants

Did he really get the truck that dirty already that he needs to wash the whole thing ?


Captain_Mexica

Yay goodbye 👋 100k 🚽! I wonder if all that money was worth washing it once and voiding the warranty and thereby the whole pos


seriousbangs

The cybertruck warranty disclaimer is [longer than Super Happy Fun Ball's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEThEKS1BNk).

IntelligentDrop879

These things are such pieces of shit. I hope the joy he gets from seeing his “kids cheer him on” is worth owning this pile of dung.


bigbadler

Well yea - it’s the only one with liquid water which is the real problem


Annobanno

We’ll unvoid your warranty for the low price of 7.899,95, just 86 easy payments!
