Was listening to some YT clips from The Majority Report talking about how shitty these are.
I was completely unaware that washing the vehicle with water could 1) void the warranty and 2) brick the vehicle.
I was completely unaware and in awe of the silliness of also learning that tinting the glass can also void warranties for certain parts of the cybertruck.

problem is that this was a known issue with the dolorean, how do they make this mistake again?
At least the Delorean was cool. Might be worth pulling that out once or twice a year if you're a car person.
The DeLorean was a total failure that nobody wanted with panel gaps out the ass and quality assurance issues, until the CEO got arrested. So...you know, here's hoping the cybertruck becomes cool.
The Cybertruck is ugly though. Im nit saying the Delorean is a good car made by good people. Just that it looks neat. If you're the type of person to keep an extra car just for show and baby it, there's a point to the Delorean. The Tesla truck is only good as a museum of curiosity discussion piece that will be k iwn only for how rare it is to find a well kept one
Im betting the only thing musk knows about the delorean is what he learned watching Back to the Future
Edit: i got interested in the delorean after commenting and saw it was also stainless steel, and also had a recall involving sticking accelerators. Heh.

Why would cold water brick the truck?
You notice how the truck is silver? that's because it's made of stainless steel and it doesn't have a protective coat or paint on it, something that is expected to be on a car
Perhaps we could paint the car with silver metallic paint, and make the body from standard automotive materials?
No way, it's gotta be stainless steel for reasons. Now pass me my ketamine, it's therapeutic I swear!
Not cold water specifically--just water. The waterproofing on the electronics is uneven (especially on earlier models). It has a "car wash mode" (lol) that is supposed to lock all that down, but some Teslas have been bricked by just driving in the rain. Also, the water seems to rust the stainless steel body. As I've said before, it seems like it was engineered for California weather and they never considered that people might drive it in other climates.
especially on earlier models
They've only shipped 3800! They're all "earlier models"!
Fantastic point.
It's not water proof, so rain has a chance of frying some of the electronics.
let's be fair with Tesla, being impossible to drive in the rain has always been a problem for cars in general, as we all know
Gonna guess Elon lives in LA
