Bulletproof? Is it waterproof? Ts&Cs say: ‘Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage’

    I don’t know about the Cybertruck or its charging port, but cars do have rain sensors to activate the wipers automatically when it rains. Car wash mode likely turns those sensors off to prevent damage to the wipers.

      It must be something more substantial in this case, tearing the windshield wiper off wouldn’t brick the truck

        Water gets into the body, which lacks fluid drains and accumulates water, which can potentially reach wiring.

          I seriously don’t understand how this could be possible. How does the car manage rain water?

            I don’t think it’s meant to be driven in the rain

              I don’t think it’s meant to be driven.

              I mean… It’s not even meant to be a vehicle, tbh. It’s an ego trip, status symbol, or virtue signal (pick up to 3) in the form of a vehicle.

              The part where it can propel itself and it’s occupants from place to place is, in fact, a bonus feature.
