Apparently part of the frame fills up with water until the level gets high enough to short some critical internal wiring

Smh y'all will do anything to disparage Teslers.
The driver does something stupid, such as getting the car wet, and the car sometimes shuts itself down instead of catching fire.
No other car even tries to stop itself after getting wet! Can't you see how much better they are?! Have you even said thank you once? In this conversation?

LOL "truck." Now it's a very pricey, completely stupid looking piece of lawn ornamentation.

Doesn't using a car wash without putting the car in "car wash mode" first void its warranty, or was that false news? (I don't remember where I heard it.) Nice way to make a lot of unsuspecting people void their warranty.
That's actually in the owner's manual for the thing, very true. I've seen it posted before.
I wish I had a link handy for you, but honestly I despise the thing and would much rather piss on it than bother with any more research.
Hell, it's already a laundry list of recalls..
Is there a "piss on truck" mode that you have to turn on for that?
Probably not. It probably also doesn't have a vinegar and salt mode either. Most metals really don't like that...
loading super soaker...
Ok, so a car wash kills it. What happens when it rains? Do they sell a giant umbrella to mount on the stupid ass thing?
I wonder if it's because the "geniuses" at Tesla forgot to protect the electronics from water coming up from beneath it. It would explain a lot lol
There's a YouTube video of someone chopping one up and that's exactly what it is. There're holes in the frame that allow water to get inside the battery compartment and pool there.

Somewhere else I saw that there are unprotected wires in a well of the frame that can accumulate water.
So that means someone could potentially brick a cybertruck by spraying water on it from below at the right spot?
You're describing a puddle.
Terrorist puddles!
I'd make a crack about declaring war on puddles but they'll probably do it at this point

Maybe the soap dissolves some load bearing glue?
🤣
It's not a joke, the frame is plastic and the steel panels are glued on.
Subframe might be plastic but the frame is cast aluminum. Which has its own issues since it's failure modes aren't as forgiving as steel. The glued on part is 100% though.

You remember when he said it would function as a boat.
An example of a boat is the Titanic. But given the tendency to burst into flames, perhaps the Felicity Ace or the Moskva might be more accurate.
Like a boat, you don't get to use it as much as you like and you have to keep throwing money at it.
And the 2 happiest days of ownership are when you get it and when you get rid of it. Although I’m guessing some people might be having second thoughts as they take delivery given all the news about the build quality. Truly revolutionary, making boats seem reliable.
