    Buy a cybertruck, they are best vehicle ever, except a few catches.

    Like for example you can’t wash it or it’ll break, cant drive it or the wheels will fall off, and best not to sit in it either incase it traps you inside.

    This is quite possibly the greatest product America has ever made. Well atleast its affordable.

      Lol and don’t slam the doors!

      For the record, if you slam the doors the inside part comes partially loose and catches on the interior, so that when you open the door again the inside part tears away (literally tears like a rag).

          It’s not a joke, the frame is plastic and the steel panels are glued on.

            Subframe might be plastic but the frame is cast aluminum. Which has its own issues since it’s failure modes aren’t as forgiving as steel. The glued on part is 100% though.

        There’s a YouTube video of someone chopping one up and that’s exactly what it is. There’re holes in the frame that allow water to get inside the battery compartment and pool there.

          As someone with experience with emergency medicine and related areas, the idea of bulletproof windows on a car is one of the dumbest ideas I’ve ever heard of. If the windows are bulletproof, that means they’re also window-breaker-proof, and in a car that has doors that don’t work and likes to catch fire, that’s a recipe for a death trap.

        IIRC, the chassis has some places where water can pool inside without drainage holes, and wiring runs through those trays. It could be that the car was fine for a while until the owner tried charging it, which would’ve tripped a fuse or something.

        It sounds like it didn’t die in the carwash but overnight, so my guess is they plugged it in overnight after the wash and after it died the plug won’t unlock maybe?

            The body isn’t watertight and water collects in the frame due to lack of drain holes. The accumulated water shorts the electrical connections and discharges everything.

            Probably a lot of corrosion damage now too.

            Not being able to detach the charge cable due to lack of power is extra funny. They have a manual release but you have to remove a panel in the bed to get to it.

            Basically the vehicle is in beta but they released it anyway.

                  No, water collects in places and then gets on sensitive electronics. Though with the Mercs it’s usually because a drain got clogged.

      Smh y’all will do anything to disparage Teslers.

      The driver does something stupid, such as getting the car wet, and the car sometimes shuts itself down instead of catching fire.

      No other car even tries to stop itself after getting wet! Can’t you see how much better they are?! Have you even said thank you once? In this conversation?

        Except it was literally was advertised as being as such.

        https://electrek.co/2024/02/21/tesla-cybertruck-drives-through-water-real-world-wade-mode-test/

        Last year, Musk claimed Tesla Cybertruck would be “waterproof enough” to serve as a boat and cross rivers:

        Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to serve briefly as a boat, so it can cross rivers, lakes and even seas that aren’t too choppy.

        Also let’s not forget about how the tow hitch can’t tow.
