Bulletproof? Is it waterproof? Ts&Cs say: 'Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage'

"To prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.),"

Not washing it could fuck it up. Got it.

"CAUTION Failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage (for example, to the charge port or windshield wipers). Damage caused by car washes is not covered by the warranty."

Also washing it could fuck it up.

They could have solved this with a layer of clear coat.

Without that, every single one will eventually patina.

To be fair patina looks cool on certain things, I just wouldn't feel comfortable with it on any loving object, who knows what it could damage.

Edit: err um I meant moving not loving. Unless?

... with it on any loving object

Come again?

I bet they meant "moving" but it is a funny typo.
