Cybertruck Turns Into Large Metal Brick After Going Through Car Wash

For a vehicle ostensibly designed to go anywhere, Tesla's Cybertruck seems to have a lot of trouble in mundane settings.
As one recent owner found out, even a car wash was able to defeat the 6,600-pound pickup. As spotted by Jalopnik, a routine visit through a car wash to get sand off the truck after a beach visit seemingly caused the entire vehicle to shut down. The center console went blank, turning the stainless steel monstrosity into a giant brick.
"I'm about two and half months in and 3,400 miles," TikTok user captain.ad said in a recent video, "and it's not working right now."
After holding down two buttons on the steering wheel to reset the screen, the dashboard made a strange noise.
"That was a weird popping sound," the owner said, perplexed.
It's not exactly confidence-inducing to see a car that's meant to serve as a rugged off-the-grid base — and even a way to get around Mars, according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk — turn into a giant "Tesla Paperweight," as captain.ad quipped, after a routine hosing off.
We've already seen our fair share of issues with the vehicle, from massive panel gaps and cracked "armor glass" to failing steering controls and besmirched stainless steel.
Earlier this week, news emerged that Tesla stopped delivering all Cybertrucks to address a glaring issue with the controversial vehicle's accelerator pedal.
Fortunately, in the case of the car wash, captain.ad'sicle mysteriously started working again after he filed a ticket and went to bed. The vehicle seemingly needed a complete reboot, which was triggered by him holding down the two buttons the night before — but required five excruciating hours to complete.
"Imagine if there was a zombie apocalypse, and you reset your Cybertruck," one TikTok user commented.
Despite being designed to be a rugged truck ready for a dystopian hellscape, taking care of a Cybertruck sounds like a nightmare, requiring more babying than virtually any other pickup.
Hilariously, Tesla warns that the truck should never be washed in "direct sunlight" due to possible corrosion in the stainless steel. A special "Car Wash Mode," which closes all windows and disables wipers, should also be used to avoid damage.
Drivers also have to opt out of regular car washes and are told only to use "touchless car washes" that don't make contact with the Cybertruck's surface.
And in case you forget to follow any of this advice, you may be out of luck when it comes to having the company fix your broken-down truck.
"Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage," the company's manual reads. "Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty."
"Damage caused by improper washing" is also not covered.
As always, Tesla isn't in the business of talking to the media, so we're unlikely to find out what exactly caused the latest issue or if it was related to the owner cleaning his truck.
But if there's one takeaway: don't take your luxury Tesla truck to the car wash — as ludicrous as that may sound.

It's easier to take care of a Mogwai than this ugly piece of shit.
You’re a fucking liar and an idiot now you’re saying it was you talking about somebody else you said I , I means you you dumb fuck you can check your post history you have 100 + posts talking about yourself you stupid bitch. LOL Oakland politics man you’re old please shut the fuck up and if you think anything on BGOL I’ve said is what is what is shared publicly you’re a god damn fucking idiot. You think this Dr. Truth shit is who I go around introducing myself as. Stop acting like you know people you don’t know .
I'm not talking about BYD. The company is Xiaomi. Last i checked, Tesla wants globally sells;not just US. That means competitors globally. I'm aware the Chinese companies are not sold in the US and like Tesla they are subsidized.That's the point. Tesla is still dominant here due to limited competition.as the years go on, more credible cars will rise. You must be really threatened by Rivian as you are ignoring the higher point of Tesla losing customers to competitors due to an idiot flying to close to the sun. Let's stick with your infatuation with Rivian. If similar to Tesla their initial vehicles price out a large portion of the population, what happens when the vehicles are 40 to 60k range? Just like Tesla with the 3, sells will increase for Rivian. Personally the R2s aren't the best looking but hey neither is the Y.
Instead of making a normal truck, this idiot decided to create one of the ugliest vehicles in history. Over time, they'll fade away from being discussed just like the solar roofs. Sales weren't great for q4 right? In general, Tesla sells were down. It could be macro factors but it's also their idiot CEO doing a Nazi salute. Followed by the Doge outrage. Let's not forget using his kid as a human shield. The real advantage Tesla had was the Supercharger network and they gave that up. If it was for more income, maybe not the worse move. Except the only reason some people stayed with Tesla was the network. Where is wouldn't have bought a Rivian before now i would because of the SC network.
I've had FDS for years. Beyond the improvement to navigate better on streets and highways it hasn't improved where it really matters.The only time I'd use it is in very low traffic. We aren't even going to get into bad weather or going under an overhead for 2 seconds. Right now it's nothing more than an advance cruise control. If it can't perform in different environments and more importantly adapt better to human drivers, it's not worth it to me. It still takes multiple attempts just to self park ans I still have to correct it.
The solar roof was Elon's pride and joy that failed to meet expectations. The inverters are questionable. Their constant reports of issues with the systems and worse poor customer service to address said issues. In Tesla's defense, that is an industry issue from what i can see. Speaking of failures, what’s up with the underground tunnel for cars? When the Tesla bot fails, what will be your excuse? Yes, the batteries are performing, but im speaking to panels.fron their own reports demand is declining.
Bottom line is It doesn't matter what products you make or their quality if no one wants to use them. The board is said to be selling shares at a high rate. Elon is allegedly begging employees not to sell shares.im not talking about the feelings of fanboy shareholders like yourself. I'm speaking on the change from major share holders. Retail shareholders like us are always last to get off the boat and their is a clear shift. What's more important to you. Getting rid of Elon and move forward or allow him to keep damaging the company in the public eye. Which is more important to you? Personally, I'd choose Tesla over Elon.
We obviously have different points of view. Let’s see how it shakes out.
In this thread, on 3/20/25, I recommended everyone buy Tesla stock or the June 17, 2027 Call Option. At that time, the stock price was $235.06 and the Option was $43.48.
Currently, the Tesla stock price is $262.63 and the Option is $49.30.
The current Rivian stock price is $11.94.
The current Xiaomi stock price is $6.96.
I tried to explain why you should invest in Tesla, but you argued with me that Rivian and Xiaomi is a better buy.
I’ll quote all of this in a year or when things get obvious. Whichever comes first.

He not listening to a single word your saying. Stop wasting your precious time.
This dumb bitch said "occupy Mars"...lol Just as looney as Elon.
Gonna have to start calling you Superhead with the way you stay throating that Boer
Henry Ford was in that shit too back then.. We boycotting now? Again Elon is on that shit NOW and costing nvestors billions… I’m surprised he ain’t get his wig peeled back for losing investors money on Twitter and now with Tesla… dude would be a dead man walking but then again it’s why he living in the White House now because he need that defacto secret service protection
Thanks for the resource, That's a list of Driver Assist - meaning the only work when you get above a certain speed on the highway. And the only reason Tesla ranks low is because they require you to actually hold the steering wheel when the others do not. Again, Tesla is the only one that works off the highway.
AI... imo
Hilarious how folks that don’t own Tesla stock are the main ones complaining about how Tesla stock holders are affected. The truth is that Tesla stock holders are happy. We regularly vote in line with the board including Elon’s compensation package. Unless you buy at the highs and sell at the lows, you will make money buying the stock.

Tesla stock is currently $280.77.
The option I suggested 4 days ago is currently $64.10. For every $ 4,348 you invested, you would receive $6,410 4 days later. Don’t listen to these complaining mfers. It is still a good buy. There is still runway. I’m holding for at least a 3x return on my investment.
Stop trying to help them.
Smh. I don't care about the stock price and neither do you. My point has been why support a company that CEO doesn't have your interest at heart. Particularly when there are different options to select from. Even if your thought is im here to make money, at some point money should be irrelevant. What good is money if Elon and Trump will create more poor people? What happens when people become desperate. You have to think beyond making money today. You are basically saying i can disrespect you and your family as long as i pay you.
To Elon, you are the soft target. He wasn't crying on the internet a few weeks back. Now he's begging his daddy to pretend to buy his cars. How much more is he going to discount vehicles or offer no interest? As long as he has people like you, his behavior will not change. Did you see how the insurance industry went 180 after that CEO fit shot and most people didn't care?short lived or not it is an example of the power people really have if they decide to act.
My second point is Elon driving people toward his competitors and they are making ground. Outside of needing a normal SUV, there is no real reason i couldn't have stayed in the Tesla ecosystem and instead of going with a Rivian. Except Elon has made it clear he has an issue with Black people and now has positioned himself to have influence on policies that really can impact me now. This isn't him trolling some crypto bros. I'm not moral orel but there is no way i can hand over my dollars to someone who would likely call me DEI or the new safe N word. Regardless of your opinion of the competition , they are and likely will continue to take market space from Tesla largely due to Elon's dumb shit. It's not about a year, but years.
Thirdly, which is my main concern is people's safety including those who work for Tesla.
I'll ask again do you care about Elon or Tesla?
I'm not sure what you are asking. When I look at investments, the #1 thing I look at is the profitability. I can't name half of the CEOs of the top 20 companies by market cap. I'm not that concerned with Elon like you seem to be. I am not interested in debating how bad/good Elon is either. I engaged in this conversation with you because I thought we disagreed with the profitability of Tesla. I strongly feel that currently Tesla is one of the best investment opportunities in our lifetime and I don't want brothers to miss out on it. I don't think that Rivian is a good investment because of the reasons given.

Pull up the quote and read it in context. I never said Dr. Truth was your real name. I said that you lied about making beats for a local artist that you did not know I knew personally. I said that you have been lying on here for over a decade about having an Asian psychiatrist wife. I said that you lied about making beats for various artists in Oakland. You have been on this forum for multiple decades talking about your wife, her schooling, her credentialing and all kinds of other elaborate details that is all bullshit. You have been on here for decades claiming to make beats for various artists in Oakland. All bullshit.
Damn.....
Sad way to die, burning to death.....all because Elon & his trash car.
You clearly know what is being asked and you've responded. Like i stated before, if your concern were making money and the long term success of Tesla, the answer would be simple. Tesla was built off the backs of the community. It was the community doing free marketing for Tesla. It was the community who bought multiple models like they were toys. It was the community that had meet ups and races with other vehicles. It was the community who bought a roster ( done to keep Tesla a float until the model 3 could save the company) that has yet to be delivered and autonomous driving that is going to be completed every year. If Elon were gone tomorrow, Tesla would do just fine. You don't support Tesla. You sadly support Elon.
Elon's behavior is clearly impacting the company, so you trying to downplay it to being unemotional about your investment doesn't add up. Unless you support his behavior. Which end of the day is your business. However, you can't deny the loss of profits regardless of if you believe them to be short or long-term damage. You can't deny the rush to trade in cars likely at more of a lose than normal.The brand is damaged and isn't likely to win back people like myself who choose other options. It wasn't just the technology people were buying but the brand for alot of people.
You also can't claim to want to look out for your brother's while supporting someone who is indirectly doing your brother's harm. Tesla or Rivian for that matter aren't the only public traded companies. You are simply doing your part to protect your investment. Understandable, but we are different. Money doesn't move me. I'm privileged to have made money from investments so I don't have to accept behavior that are against my morals ( the little that i have), but are also seemingly impacting my investments which is allegedly your focus. You are coming off as desperate to make a buck. That buck doesn't stretch far enough for your brother who loses his job because Elon is plotting to get more contracts at their expense. It doesn't do your brother's any good to have a few shares when a man supports racist ideals that others supports and fires you brother because you couldn't have earned your position. If you want to help your brother's, there is an entire thread with people giving investment opportunities here beyond Tesla. Take the knowledge you've learned and find another winner to share with your brothers.
Take some of them capital gains and buy some Dude Wipes.
The funny part is there are two idiots in here who believe you know what you're talking about.
A. You don’t know my real name, where I’m really from or anything about me other than the shit I’ve said on here you stupid fuck. You didn’t ask anybody shit about me because you don’t know anybody . What lunatic goes and asks people if they know somebody they don’t know nothing about based on what they told them online. FOH you goofy ass senior citizen moron. Hey rappers do you know this guy online who may or may not really be from NJ . I could really be from Queens NY for all you know you dumb fuck.
B. Again you don’t know shit about me, who I am, who we are and who I am married to or what her profession is. Not sure why you think you do. Then again you’re an idiot and the whole board knows this already you Tesla Elon dick eating coon.
C. This is a porn board , I’m here for entertainment, I say and do shit for jokes , one thing that isnt a joke is what I do to create and get paid for. I’ve posted our music on here since day one, if you been paying attention you’d get a fucking clue. Bitch nigga.
Now go back to cooning for Elon saying he’s not a racist and sucking his apartheid dick you bitchmade minstrel. I’m going to sit back and watch the board clown the fuck out you as always. You old ass handkerchief headed sambo
Shits crazy that any Black man would listen to that coon who doesn’t think Elon Nazi Musk is racist.
So now you are minimizing that you lied about your whole life on a porn board of men for 15 years. What was the point? You could have enjoyed posts and participated without lyin about your wife, her profession, who you know, and where you are from. You made up a whole new life and pretended for over a decade for what reason? You talk a lot of shit on here, but you are a bitch ass nigga in real life. This porn board provides a fantasy life where you can lie about your life and then go on these insulting tantrums and receive chuckles instead of getting your ass beat.
You made up a whole new life to front for a porn board full of dudes and try to make me out to be the weird one for exposing you for it.
