Bulletproof? Is it waterproof? Ts&Cs say: 'Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage'

“Car wash mode” just folds in the side mirrors and puts the car in neutral. The need to reboot car is probably coincidental unless there’s some sort of extreme panel gap that let water in and caused a short or something.

It's probably something bullshit to fight off lawsuits - "the computer says you weren't hopping on one leg, dancing and throwing salt over your shoulder, and you didn't activate car wash mode, we can't help you sowwyyyyy". Manufacturers don't want to fix on warranty after all.

Coincidentally, poor fit and finish is a common complaint among Tesla owners.
