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.

It's worse than that, washing the car even in wash mode will damage the car because the fucking thing is made out ~~aluminum~~ stainless steel, you know, a mineral that corrodes if exposed to water long enough. It's mind boggling how badly designed this car is.

Edit: sorry, confused my minerals there.

Neither of those are minerals.
