    “To prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.),”

    Not washing it could fuck it up. Got it.

    “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.”

    Also washing it could fuck it up.

      FYI you’re supposed to remove all that from normal cars too, it’s not good for the clear coat/ paint

      It’s worse than that, washing the car even in wash mode will damage the car because the fucking thing is made out aluminum, you know, a mineral that corrodes if exposed to water long enough. It’s mind boggling how badly designed this car is.

      They could have solved this with a layer of clear coat.

      Without that, every single one will eventually patina.
