The fact that I can't tell if you are joking or if there's actually a car wash mode scares me lmao

There actually is a car wash mode for the cybertruck. It was mentioned in that article about the guy who's cybertruck lost power for like 6 hours or something after it got rained on.

I just read the how to clean your Cyber truck article from Tesla and holy cow you might as well have written purchase vehicle, store directly in garage indefinitely, cause just about anything damages it lol

the link if anyone else was curious

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If taking Cybertruck to an automatic car wash is necessary, Car Wash Mode closes all windows, locks the charge port, and disables windshield wipers, Sentry Mode, and walk-away door locking.

Doesn't seem too stupid to me. The rest of your link looks mild enough too, just don't use anything harsh on your exterior or the steel won't look its best any more.

Then again, I forget the sort of rich person who buys a Tesla is also probably the sort of person who cries if it doesn't look brand new every day, so yeah - sneeze and your beloved car is irrevocably besmirched.

I was moreso referring to the do not wash in the sun, do not use hot water, do not use car washes that use pre-cleaners, and the fact that apperently having tree resin or dead insects on the vehicle is enough to cause corrosion of it.

I agree the carwash mode sounds logical, I've just never heard of it or needed it for any of my vehicles, I just don't open the doors or windows in the wash.

Many new cars have a carwash mode. Not in any way exclusive to the cybertruck.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Rather important for rain sensing windshield wipers to not immediately break

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If that's what it's for, then that makes sense. Wouldn't want the wipers going on while you're in a drive-thru car wash. None of the articles mentioned that feature, making it seem like it's doing something to protect the electronics from getting wet. Especially since they were articles about damage from being wet. lol

[–] the_crotch 2 points 5 months ago

It does close the charging port, which one would think should be closed anyway when the car is running

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I mean if you have the automatic mode constantly on it mightbe an issue. If you have the wipers off I see no reason for that.

Yes there was a law suit about it
