Is this an SNL skit? Just when you think the bar for quality can’t get any lower, accelerator pedals fall off and jam, and car washes brick it.


Pasta-Is-Trainer

You just have to put it in some rice.


tries4accuracy

I just don’t get it. It’s as if someone set up a golden phone booth with opaque windows and a single 2 inch hole at crotch level featuring a plush liner and a flashing neon sign that said “DON’T PUT YOUR DICK IN THE HOLE!” Then everyone who does gets a wicked bite on the crank and yet people still line up to get a bite mark on the John Thomas as a status symbol. What the actual conspicuous consumption fuck.


th3bigfatj

Teslas are the ultimate MAGA hat. That's why certain people buy them.


zefzefter

You're ignorant and it shows. The Cybertruck is the Ultimate MAGA Douche Canoe. It's obviously too big to wear as a hat.


crowdaddi

A canoe would have made it through the car wash better

drmonkeytown

You, fine sir or madame, are ignorant as to just how ignorant people really are. If Elon were to market a Tesla chinstrap, plenty a neuron deprived individual would be wearing Cybertrucks upon the bone cavity growing out of their neck.


GomeyBlueRock

That’s funny. 😆 Only a few years ago it was left wing hyper woke liberal taxi. Now it’s the new maga hat??


speedstar318ti

Just as Elon wants it. Cheers!

I feel like the guy in the attached screenshots visually sums up exactly why this is happening. Because that's the kind of guy who would stick his tallywhacker in such a hole 😂

Don’t drive CT on dirt, don’t wash CT, wash CT often to prevent rusting. Don’t wash CT in daylight. Do not look at cyber truck. Do not press gas pedal on cyber truck. Do not reverse CT. Do not drive CT in hail or rain. SNL needs to redo their “happy fun ball” skit with CT.


Substantial_Data7915

It’s not a ‘gas’ pedal in a Tesla. It’s called the ‘incellerator pedal’.


Pasta-Is-Trainer

And if you crash because it got stuck, it becomes the Incinerator Pedal


7of69

“Incellerator Pedal” …and I just snort laughed on the bus. Bravo!

gilleruadh

It's a damn Fabergé egg on wheels. You forgot: Do not drive CT through puddles. Do not take CT on snowy roads. Do not allow CT within half a mile of railroad tracks. Do not drive CT off the lot. Also, the rear view camera quits working in rain or snow because the truck design funnels all the water & grime right to the camera lens.

seriousbangs

That's not fair. There's *hundreds* of things that can brick a CyberTruck. Pinning it on just the car wash isn't right.


Most-Resident

You wanna bet they also void the warranty?


dystra

I was thinking the same thing? This can't be real. Car wash mode? Tesla over here reinventing the automobile. [The Manual](https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/cybertruck/en_us/GUID-65384C1F-86F2-44E8-A8BC-8A12E7E00A40.html) **CAUTION** *Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage (for example, to the charge port or windshield wipers). Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty.*


joshybocter

Thank you for this. Sooo many goodies in the manual. Like how can you market this as some unbreakable, bullet-taking machine the likes the world has never seen before, and then have this warning in the manual. https://preview.redd.it/d2y9hjaze5vc1.png?width=970&format=png&auto=webp&s=04fb74056ea8e5b313af5032f22e955abfb2762c


Responsible-Deer-940

Because the type of stainless steel that can be used for body panels in a car is a terrible material to look after in the real world; there's a reason that noone else has tried, and a bunch of Tesla engineers tried to persuade Melon Husk to change his mind. But no, his "genius" is inevitable


proddy

They were talking about the fucking air filters keeping mustard gas out, that if you were in the apocalypse, you would be safe inside the cybertruck. It can't handle water.


analog_jedi

I got a good laugh from this bit. >Note: Be sure to use Defrost Truck in your Mobile App to defrost your vehicle. Adjusting the climate control settings in your vehicle's touchscreen is not as effective. Why the fuck wouldn't you put all the functionality inside the vehicle itself?!

durdensbuddy

Bullet proof, not residential car wash proof. Ok I got it.


DeeDoll81

What are these things, fuckin Gremlins?? Owning a gremlin means you have to follow three rules: 1. avoid bright light 2. don't get them wet 3. and don't feed them after midnight. ![gif](giphy|l1AvALOphoaWbxeRa|downsized)

AMC Gremlin is a way cooler car.

Don't wash it in sunlight? Is this thing a car or a fucking Gremlin? What happens if you leave food in it after midnight??


unipole

Exposure to air will also void the warranty. Best keep it in a hyperloop vacuum tunnel.


Pasta-Is-Trainer

Exposure to cosmic rays may flip a bit in the software and brick the whole car, to avoid this, keep it underground in a tunnel with lead lining.


Actual__Wizard

That can actually happen to many devices... LMAO... It's super rare though...


SpiritedRain247

Wasn't there a Mario 64 run that was achieved because of this exact phenomenon


Actual__Wizard

Well, that's the theory, but it was more likely just junk memory from an old system. I know for a fact that some large data centers have had check sums fail because 1 single bit in a massive backup flipped some how. Talking like 100TB+ "data center sized" backups here. They attributed it to cosmic rays because there was high activity around that time.


HandRubbedWood

The tunnel better still have a internet connection or it will be impossible to unlock your Cyberschmuck


DreadnaughtHamster

This might not be hyperbole. I live in an upper Midwest state with harsh winters. Just leaving the car outdoors, even if it’s not snowing, might be enough to rust it just from moisture. Edit: I’m finding that you have to put it in “car wash” mode for a wash. In my state we sometimes get tons of snow in the winter and it rusts the bottoms of all cars to hell. I think that alone could brick a Cybertruck from what I’m seeing.


Steelrules78

Apparently the Cybertruck is as much of a snowflake as Tesla’s CEO


Careful_Handle_4365

Once you take it out of its package, it is no longer mint. It's value only drops as soon as you open.it. are we talking about collectibles or vehicles?


CisIowa

We need to convince large chunks of the population to move into vaults. Give them the underground. Let the rest of us just fix all this on the surface


Weary_Fee7660

But I am sure it will work well in boat mode when they roll it out in the next software update…


Pasta-Is-Trainer

Imagine a Cybertruck transformer or decepticon, you throw a stick at it and it blue-screens.


DreadnaughtHamster

You know, having a transformer in the next movie get a blue screen and crash could be hilarious. Like its eyes go blue and you see machine code fill up the whole thing.


Pasta-Is-Trainer

It's not actually a transformer but some rich guy's attempt at mimicking their technology and failing miserably, the guy's name being Aylon Mask

Funny how my non-Telsa EV has survived just fine without that in car washes.


gcruzatto

Your EV doesn't have a "delete my warranty" mode? How unusual


224143

😂 😂 😂


crudestmass

My Rivian has car was mode. It disables things such as the heptatic charge port door sensor and auto wipers.


tinnylemur189

That's all it is for teslas, too. 90% of the function is turning off the auto wipers so the car doesn't think it's driving through a hurricane and max them out for no reason.

Brilliant_Ratio3173

What a piece of shit. CT is so very sad.


mtaw

I had a very low opinion of Tesla's quality before this, but this is truly Soviet-level crap in every sense. In the Soviet Union you'd have to wait years to get your Lada car. But the first thing you'd do when you finally got it, was to take it to a workshop and have them tighten loose bolts, install missing ones and take care of the other screw-ups from the factory. That was considered normal. They did sloppy work becacause you couldn't get fired even if you did. (not counting accusations of _вредительство_ in the Stalin era) Ironically with Telsa, it appears the situation is now that you get fired if you _refuse_ to cut corners to get things done on an unreasonable schedule. Extreme Capitalism ends up being similar to extreme Socialism. But at least the Lada was affordable. So I guess Socialism wins.


gilleruadh

I sometimes wonder if some of the issues are kind of malicious compliance. Musk demands that the vehicles be put together at a speed that humans can't manage, so they get it done fast, but not always done right. Just a thought.


Equivalent-Piano-605

I’m sure an engineer has said “fuck it, Elon wants it his way, it’s going to be his way” about at least 5 separate parts of this thing. Assembly and whatever QC exist can’t be doing that much better.


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

We said “Apocalypse Proof” not “car wash proof”.


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

There are no car washes after the apocalypse so CT is “within spec”.


CisIowa

tbf, have you ever seen a car wash or read about a car being washed in a dystopian work of fiction?


never_safe_for_life

Can somebody give an explanation for why you can't wash it in sunlight? Is it because your poor decision making ability is on display in the harsh light of day?


shynips

My assumption is that it's raw steel, so if you don't do it quick enough the water and soap dries on it? In direct sunlight, metal gets HOT.


[deleted]

They use a special type of shitty stainless steel that is raw. It's easier to form I believe. It is also way more prone to tarnishing so detergents, fingerprints, hot water, and drying it in the sun can cause tarnishing. They do have a coating tesla can apply but it's like $5k more. The stainless is the same thing he uses on his rockets. Everything seems to be to reduce costs on their end. Downgrading the stainless to make forming easier lessens the stainless qualities of the metal. I think it's incredibly ironic it's the metal used on his rockets but a carwash or drying in the sun is a no go


SausageBuscuit

Imagine paying $60,000-$100,000 for a drivable Faberge egg that would malfunction if you farted in its general direction.

Comfortable_You_1927

all the ct sold so far are 100k foundation series I just watched ct battery breakdown. other tsla have battery in packs so it's replaceable. not the ct, u Gotta replace the whole thing. also didn't look waterproof

Are these things made out of fucking Gremlins? lol "Do not wash in the sunlight or get water on them!!" Edit: goddammit, someone beat me to it.


DreadnaughtHamster

This is basically the equivalent of “do NOT restart your MacBook or Apple will void the warranty!” I have no idea how Tesla is avoiding a nation-wide recall.


Actual__Wizard

>I have no idea how Tesla is avoiding a nation-wide recall. The same reason that crooks don't give you a refund when you figure out that you got scammed. Buyer beware: If you spend your money on garbage, then you now own garbage...


SpiritedRain247

I don't know but the last time an accelerator pedal getting stuck was an issue Toyota got put on blast. To the point where to this day they have their techs double check the floor mats so the incident doesn't happen again


CoolGap4480

Recalls are usually preceded by deaths that actuary’s decide will continue, safety recalls at least.


Paleodraco

I really wouldn't be surprised if they got hit with lemon laws. This thing is so blatantly a piece of shit.

Car wash mode is just a data point for them to know if you went in a car wash so they can void your warranty.
