This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Telsa’s designers have weird history with water. I get the sense that they just don’t do a lot of proper testing in wet environments.
For example, it’s not uncommon for a lot of Teslas to actually grow mold in their air filtration system because they don’t properly drain water.

Imagine paying for this crap.
I have zero sympathy for any of the 3878 chumps who wasted their money on this vehicle. They knew exactly what they were getting
Quite a few really didn't.
It's incredible how delusional some of these people are, like Twitch Moderator being 100% convinced Amouranth is going to bang them if they spend enough in her Onlyfans tier delusional.
They are entirely convinced he shits gold and everything he touches is Star Trek tier tech.
This is unrelated, but for the longest time i thought thatwhen people talked about amouranth, i thought they talked about that mmo streamer with the filthy room and similar name. I was very confused why everyone wanted to bang him and drink his bathwater.
He chased away the brilliant people to bounce ideas of and that made that stuff work. Now he's left with a lot of sycophants who just run with every whim. It's the common story for any authoritarian leader.
convinced Amouranth is going to bang them if they spend enough in her Onlyfans tier
Escort services were invented for people like this
That’s a whole other can of worms, that isn’t even worth discussing. People like that need urgent psychiatric evaluations
Just to play devil's advocate: throughout the history of capitalism someone surely must have made a more expensive brick (adjusted for inflation).
That's the best defense I can give.
The Vasa comes to mind. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasa_(ship)
USSRs space shuttle, although technically that didnt fail on its own.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buran_(spacecraft)
The failed Chinese attempts to use stolen SpaceX plans that resulted in at least one town that we know of being destroyed with toxic smoke and fire.
Virgin's space program.
Boeing's space program. Increasingly, the 737-MAX too.
Amazon's space program.
Musk and the stupid decisions made around Starship, that resulted in over a year of setbacks since the launchpad had a woefully inadequate flame trench that everyone called out long before the first two failed launches.
The Titanic.
Related to the last one: OceanGate and the Titan.
When the Athenians starts the Peloponnesian War by invading a different city state than Sparta(to ostensibly use that city's military against Sparta), but screwed it up, creating the conditions for them to lose said war.
The Buran was actually quite technologically advanced. It was able to fly to orbit and land itself completely autonomously.
And looked pretty cool
I think the Vasa is still my favorite. All the others at least were able to leave the docks right side up.
Tesla made good cars before. It is reasonable to assume that they would continue to do that. The people that have a cyberteuck today are people that paid for it years ago, so they wouldn't have known how shitty it actually turned out to be.
I can't account for Tesla's continuing and worsenin quality control though as well as their cost saving measures that make the cars less safe. I don't know how you see those trends and not cancel your pre order.
so they wouldn’t have known how shitty it actually turned out to be.
Hard disagree here. A) I knew from the first moment they showed a picture of it how bad it would be. You could tell it was a car a 7 year old would design and have all the faults that come with that. B) Those people have had years to cancel those deposits, during which we've seen how shitty it was going to be.
Honestly? Even the supreme brick was less expensive.
How hard does it have to be raining to require car wash mode?
Car washing mode prevents the automatic wipers from triggering and the charging port from opening, so neither get damaged from the spinning brushes of an automatic car wash. It has nothing to do with whatever caused this issue.
So Tesla says they will have the Full Self Driving very soon now for real, but the car can't figure out by itself it's in a car wash.
"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.
What does car wash mode do?
Also locks the charging port, turns off the AC, locks the doors and windows. Still nothing that should prevent the car from breaking in a car wash....
Also, upon reading the article, seems like the car was fine after a reset, it just took 5 hours. Didn't have anything to do with the car wash it seems.
It folds the mirrors in and puts the car in neutral. Stuff like that.
So things normal people do to normal cars but with extra steps and Elon.
Have you seen other people in a car wash? Park, reverse, drive but they start holding the brakes when the track pulls them along, leaving antennas up, not closing windows, opening fucking doors... A vast majority of the human population is some level of braindead.
Fuck me, I've seen someone pull up into a manual car wash bay, open all their doors, and wash the INSIDE of their car. This was not a washable interior like a Jeep Wrangler or something, it was a typical sedan with carpeted floors and cloth seats.
And these people (theoretically) are licensed to drive, right next to you.
I don't know about the Cybertruck or its charging port, but cars do have rain sensors to activate the wipers automatically when it rains. Car wash mode likely turns those sensors off to prevent damage to the wipers.
It must be something more substantial in this case, tearing the windshield wiper off wouldn't brick the truck
To all the chuds that bought this...
Insert Nelson HAAAA HAAAA
I really wonder if this is just an average shitty car and dumb people buying it ir something historically stupid. Like in 10 years. Youtubers make top ten videos about the dumbest car ever and on number one they are all like: well, we all know what that is, so we might as well skip it.
Historical stupid.
My 2 unprofessional cents, I think the way this vehicle was executed wrong. Everybody understands metal rust even if it's stainless steel, if you don't take care of it correctly it will rust. Second, sharp angles on vehicles that will be used by family's is by far reckless, videos show how sharp they are and how the front trunk can do some real damage to body parts. Lastly, we moved away from strong body structure to prevent deaths when accidents happen. Why are we going back to the 60's car body structure? Yes we might have better safety equipment in vehicles now, but we still have vehicles that just have 1 airbag, seatbelts, and bad body structure safety.
The 21st century DeLorean, only no one bothered making a time machine out of it.
Oh shit, the sun came out and I forgot to put my Cybertruck into "Sunlight Mode".
It's bricked now, but it's really my fault.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The screen in the central console, which is absolutely essential to operating the Cybertruck because it hosts critical information like speed and rear view, went black as pitch and wouldn't respond.
Meanwhile, the story was also picked up on Tesla CEO Elon Musk's other business empire, where an X user plumbed the depths of the Cybertruck owner's manual, which routinely turns up comedy gold.
In this instance, attention was drawn to a line saying: "CAUTION Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage (for example, to the charge port or windshield wipers).
Despite the commonly held belief that the stainless steel body would be immune to corrosion, Tesla's documentation once again served only to highlight the Cybertruck's weaknesses, such as the lack of a clear coat.
"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.
Yesterday the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recalled all Cybertrucks due to faulty accelerator pedals, a problem that first emerged earlier in the week.
