Shit the Cybertruck cannot handle:

Being washed in the sun

Car washes while not in car wash mode

Bird poop

Tree sap

Oil

Grease

Insects

Road salt

Towing something over 100 miles

Pressing the accelerator or brake pedals too hard

Closing the “frunk” without chopping injuring people’s fingers/hands

Self-driving

Bullets

Fast-charging

Puddles

Fingerprints

Hail

Metal ball

More to be discovered….
- You forgot puddles.

  Thank you. Added.
  
  How is this thing supposed to be used as a boat?
- metal ball
- Some hail in Texas broke a windshield

- Ball bearings.
- Wasn't rain one of them?
- Wait, is the fingers though true?
  
  I've seen at least two videos on Youtube where the hosts were telling other people in the video to watch their hands/fingers when it was closing. I'm guessing no one wants to try it. Oh, and there was that video where someone chopped a bunch of carrots with a Cybertruck, so there is something to this.
- Don't forget dogs pissing on the tire.
“the truck has to be switched into ‘Car Wash Mode’ before washing”
- Indeed. Maybe I needed to highlight this little tidbit better.
  
  Still seems like it breaks anyway.
  
  Is it sad that I can’t tell if this is a real mode and warning? So what happens if it rains hard, someone sprays your car with a hose, or you drive through a big puddle and you’re not in “Car Wash Mode”?
  
  Shit my 1999 Ford truck knows it is car wash mode without any of this fussing around. Just roll the windows up (or you know don't if you are feeling frisky) and the truck is in car wash mode.
- You'd almost like to think a 'smart' vehicle would be smart enough to know when it's getting a bath...
  
  😂🤣
  
  So far, everything humans have created is only as smart as their creators and, well, we all know who is running Tesla.
- Well to be entirely fair, if going through an automatic car wash, you have to put any car into Neutral so it's kinda like putting them into "carwash mode" lmao
  
  I have never in my life encountered a car wash that required neutral for any reason.
  
  You drive in, park, and wait, then when it’s done it tells you to drive forward through the blow dryer.
- To be honest so does my watch…
- So do you have to do this when driving in a storm?
  
  no, no – for a storm, you clearly have to go into “Water” menu, then select “Natural” menu, then select “from the Sky” menu, then select “Storm Mode”
Saw earlier today and still laughing, needs to catch on - the Incel Camino
"Have none of you idiots ever heard of rain?????", the PM exasperated to the Engineers after being told the drone went rogue as it was washed before its presentation to the board.
You also can’t drive any Tesla vehicles in the rain. Source
