He also received a call from Tesla to check on him. The advisor said that "it is a known issue in the Cybertruck that when you do a screen reset, instead of resetting in the standard two minutes, it takes five hours."

Why does anything take 5 hours to reboot?

Why does your car need to be reset at all? This is not normal behavior for a car.

I guess, turning off the engine overnight is like resetting your regular car?

A reset restores to proper conditions, combustion engine systems don’t do that. They also are designed to not need it (electric motors don’t need to need it either, it’s the computer that needs it)

I disagree. While combustion engines are designed for continuous operation, shutting them off does reset their operating state to a non-running condition, preparing them for the next startup sequence. This process constitutes a reset, even if the mechanism differs from computers.

In most newer cars (not even that new, pretty much everything in the last 20 years) computer only fully shuts off if the battery is disconnected. It continues to monitor the car even with the engine off and the key out.

Yeah, most new models are connected to the cloud too, so it makes sense.

That's the time it takes to dry

Reticulating splines can take a while
