Honestly, I think that would be an aesthetic improvement
I remember seeing the reveal for this bizzarely marketed abomination live with my college buddies. Never laughed harder during a product reveal. Musk bragging the windows were bullet proof before promptly breaking a window while demonstrating was comedy GOLD.
I lost it when they broke the second window right after. It reminds me of the demo Bill Gates did where he got a BSOD.
Hadn’t seen it before. Thanks for the reference.
They handled that so well. The “moving right along” and “that must be why we’re not shipping W98 yet” are the correct responses to this, instead of being sure it’s not real and throwing another ball at the window. Admittedly, they didn’t really have a choice to go again. It would have taken several minutes to reboot probably.
I wonder how many people were fired for that snafu.
Stupid article.
Look, here’s an excerpt from my car’s manual:
To help prevent corrosion: Wash the vehicle regularly to prevent corrosion of the body and suspension components. Also, wash the vehicle promptly after driving on any of the following surfaces. . roads that have been salted to prevent them from freezing in winter . mud, sand, or gravel . coastal roadsNow let’s write a headline to match.
Subaru: You’ll have to wash dirt off your Crosstrek ASAP to Avoid Corrosion.
Wow, can I be a journalist now?
As expected, you left out some important points:
Do not wait until Cybertruck is due for a complete wash. If necessary, use denatured alcohol to remove tar spots and stubborn grease stains, then immediately wash the area with water and a mild, non-detergent soap to remove the alcohol.
Looks like Subarus are also defective. More excerpts from my owners manual:
Salt, chemicals, insects, tar, soot, tree sap, and bird droppings should be washed off by using a light detergent, as required. If you use a light detergent, make certain that it is a neutral detergent. Do not use strong soap or chemical detergents. All cleaning agents should be promptly flushed from the surface and not allowed to dry there. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with plenty of lukewarm water. Wipe the remaining water off with a chamois or soft cloth. Wear rubber gloves and use a hand brush when washing down underbody, inner fenders and suspension to effec- tively remove mud and dirt off.
What kind of a shitty automaker would require such care after just some tar or bird droppings!
As expected, cars need washing.
Water. Not denatured alcohol.
Man you’ll freak at the exotic chemicals needed to clean windshields.
And we turn to personal attacks now. Interesting.
That’s enough facts for today, Mr. FishBulb.
Couple of points:
- Wash regularly vs immediately
- Denatured alcohol vs soap and water
- A Subaru will actually get you where you want to go when you’re driving in the snow.
It brings me great joy to see all the smug douche bags who bought one sight-unseen being shown a bit more of the picture describing how how gullible and foolish they were with each passing day.

These things are going to be real cool sitting around all rusty in the apocalypse. Maybe some of them will be kept alive with some charge hacking shenanigans.

I think it would only be electric vehicles would be functional in a post apocalyptic scenario.
I don’t think people appreciate the complexity of oil refineries and oil supply chains. A lot of the oil industry is happening somewhere else and people don’t think very much about how fragile it is despite the large number of economic problems caused by even minor disruptions in that industry.
And gas goes bad after about a year. So…
It’s far simpler to to set up a wind turbine to charge an electric car than it is to rebuild all of that oil industry infrastructure.
Preppers should really have electric cars and wind turbines and solar power. But those types tend to be just paranoid and don’t really think straight.
Didn’t the DeLorean have the same problem?
Yup, but it could go through time so it was ok.
Just go back in time to before it was dirty, duh
Go back in time and prevent the government from inventing “birds”.
Imma blow your mind, but all cars have this same problem. Literally any car that doesn’t have ppf film on it should have bird poop and bugs cleaned off ASAP. It will discolor your paint, make it chip easier, or at worst make it completely fall off in that spot. Especially if you live in an area where birds have access to berries and stuff that can make their poop even more acidic.
Pro-tip, you should do this for any car that you care about.
You probably have servants to do that for you if you have “fuck off I’m buying a Cybertruck” money.
While I think the cybertruck is stupid, you may not realize how much the SUVs, minivans, and trucks you likely see regularly on the road cost.
The low-end cybertruck model is often equivalent (or less than) some models of jeep Grand Cherokee, dodge charger, Chrysler Pacifica, chevy traverse, ford super duty, etc.
A lot of cars are crazy expensive. I know people that have cars that cost 70-80K, which is more than their yearly salary. It’s insane.
