They gotta sort out the Don't Take Your Cybertruck to a Carwash thing anyhoo, so two birds, one stone and all that.

Because they'll be the largest gas station in America.

That may come in handy.

Tesla is recalling all 3,878 Cybertrucks that it has shipped to date, due to a problem where the accelerator pedal can get stuck, putting drivers at risk of a crash

This one they probably can't manage OTA.

No, it can drive through lakes. Elon said so.

Hmm, don't understand this part:

"The Cybertruck’s owners manual does caution against ever washing the truck in direct sunlight"

Wtf?!? Why??

Because then you will clearly see that you bought a malformed Delorean.

No that's if you feed it after dark.

Yes, but it wouldn't make sense for a car to multiply if you get it wet.

That's actually a good idea for all cars.

The main reason is that the sun dries chemicals in the soap faster than you can rinse it off. Those chemicals stick to the car once dried and can act on the paint. Alot of soaps once dried on a surface don't necessarily dissolve easily even when re wetted. The warning to not wash in the sun is on a lot of soaps.

There is a miniscule risk where the temp is above 90 you can sun spot the paint but that is really unlikely. If you ceramic coat your car sun spotting can happen easier. Still a tiny risk.

This is a fantastic excuse for when my wife asks me why I never wash my car.

I bought a subscription to a car wash, so I just get it washed whenever I drive past one of the places and am not in a hurry. I'm sure this is not the best thing for the environment, but Michigan puts salt on the roads, so I'm going through the car wash.
