That’s not something that should happen to a car that is on the road.

It did not. The vehicle was in the owner's garage. I believe it was water in the charging port that caused the front screen to freeze up. Everything else was working normally.

That doesn’t improve things.

And by production car on the road I mean “by a car that is in production and allowed to drive on the road” though I admit it was vague and easy to take literally in that regard.

Technically a car wash is not the road. Checkmate, atheists.

But the Cybertruck is advertised as an off-road vehicle. Elonvangelists in shambles.

Waiting for the day we see the advisement to put the Tesla into carwash mode during heavy rainfalls.
