    It has to be a sand race because the Cybertruck gets completely disabled from moisture.

        A cyber truck had a major malfunction and stopped working because it went into a car wash without being in “car wash” mode. The joke is that Cybertrucks cannot get wet.

            Because the stainless steel is not stainless and a protective coating is optional, not standard like… you know, on every other car.

              Stainless steel that gets coated is no longer stainless steel. Stainless steel requires exposure to sufficient oxygen in order to maintain the protective oxide layer.

              These are rudder bolts from the same gudgeon on my sailboat. The black stuff is anoxic corrosion.

                TIL.

                I suppose that’s why nobody makes car body panels out of it.

          Ah… If I remember correctly; not being in a carwash mode caused the screen to freeze and because of a bug the hard reset took hours instead of minutes. The car was back up and running the next day and I believe the bug has been patched as well
