There is a video of a cybertruck driving through around 1m of water in wade mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lKAEHMvvxg
Cheap plastic panels fall off in two places seemingly without any impact, exposing the whole underbelly and electrical system in the rear to water. The body retains water hours later and the buttons to open the trunk no longer work with them progressively failing in the hours since.
"Overall guys, things do seem to be... fairly normal. I do hear some water sloshing around in there. I'm guessing it will, kind of, you know, get out of where it's at. Overall the front was pretty dry. The trunk was pretty dry."

How the fuck did this completely unimpressive, incredibly stupid dipshit get such a cult following they'll make a positive review video of their 80k vehicle having multiple failing systems after driving through a large puddle?
I honestly think a Subaru would handle that better, Even though it's lower to the ground. Especially with a snorkel.
Well yeah there's a reason they are one of the most prominent companies represented in rally racing.
Love my under powered Impreza that slams the bumper on the slightest of dips
My lancer scrapes the front bumper on every curb I've ever glanced at the wrong way
lol he drove through 2 puddles and it literally broke the car in at least 2 different immediately apparent places (edit: and broke the electronics)
that's kwality right there
Fucking idiot drove into 20 inches of water at 30mph. What an absolute moron
the sad part is it might have survived relatively unscathed if he'd just gone slow (also if it wasn't fucking shaped like a brick), but that wouldn't match the fake image of an ubercar that can just power through anything without breaking a sweat. Fascist ass vehicle for a fascist-ass man.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I love my Tesla so much even though I drove it through the car wash in car wash mode and it broke it. It's so hard to design a vehicle that can resist water, and honestly why would anyone get their precious car wet in the first place? I can't think of a real world use case for getting your car wet so honestly you really can't blame the genius Tesla engineers for this.
If your car wasn't meant to get wet, why does it have a roof? Checkmate.
my 20 year old toyota surviving the car wash as if nothing has happened🤓 @MuskFanNTR
Stop spreading fud. This is standard legal wording. It's completely normal for a car to not be able to survive a car wash. This didn't happen. Heh, source: trust me bro. #laterhaters #tesla @elonmusk #pleasefuckmywife
When he opened the door my eyes went right to the dash and that there's no speedometer no tachometer, no gauges whatsoever and it's so jarring. This car is a living nightmare.
It's even your shifter, unless you get the optional add-on button shifter (that's located above your rearview mirror and has been falling off in the sun even with the two-sided tape Tesla service centers have provided as a "fix")
Electric cars don’t have tachometers, but having the speed over on a middle-dash screen is super dumb.
Speed is measured in increments of .5, the only reason for that has to be high latency or poor refresh rate of the ipad instrument panel. The feedback would be jarring accelerating.
lmfao wasn't musk claiming to be working on "boat mode" or something equally stupid? And this fucking joke can't even go through a car wash without shorting like an iphone dropped in a pool?
You know what, actually I support this, every cybertruck owner should try to ford the nearest body of water immediately
An iPhone dropped in a pool has a better chance of recovery at this point. Their waterproofing has improved.
Ah fair enough, I've paid 0 attention to iPhone development. The last one I had was an iPhone 4 that stopped working when I got it wet lol
iPhone waterproofing is legit. If mine fell into a pool, I'd give it a solid 60-70% chance of being fine.

I get to reuse this

on every other car, rolling up your windows
on the Cybertruck, SOAP AEGIS ENGAGED
I saw a Tesla stan say it turns off all of the driver assist sensors/cameras/automatic headlamps because the water spraying around makes it go haywire, but I'm not sure if that's true. They also said other manufacturers have a similar setting, but I doubt that. My car Honda has ADAS similar to what a Cybertruck has(adaptive cruise/lane keep assist) and it's fine in a car wash and has no car wash setting.
My awesome new meme car is so cool that washing it voids the warranty. I definitely don't regret this purchase.
"Don't wash in direct sunlight " looks like a gremlin-vampire hybrid to me, you have to meet both vulnerabilities at the same time, but that also means it goes into beast mode and bursts into flames
This is insane, this has to be fake. Right?
You can't even get these fuckin cars wet?
Elon had to add that feature because of his love for "hiding" sex stuff in his products. Problem is, he doesn't know about foreplay
Wait you can't use fucking windshield wiper fluid?
What the fuck are you supposed to do if you window is dirty, slam on the breaks and hop out with a chamois?
It says windshield treatment fluids, so that's stuff like RainX, which... Eh. If the stock wipers are absolute dogshit, then yeah, OK, whatever. Just sounds like some typical service warranty CYA.
That makes more sense, just feels like there's an awful lot of wiggle room about what "treatment" means.
even if you turned on Car Wash Mode.
well it actually sounds like not even car wash mode will save you. which is very normal for vehicles, of course.
The fact that you even have different modes like that is ridiculous. Is there a rain mode too?
Teslas have garbage build quality, especially for the prices, with tons of panel gaps. I'm not shocked that when E ~ L ~ O ~ N tried hyping up a theoretically off-road capable truck, it'd turn out like this.
