Courtney Ferris, of Los Angeles, was left furious when she was turned away from a car wash because she was driving a Tesla Cybertruck. A sign posted near the entrance read: “Tesla Cybertrucks Not Allowed.” It turns out that the car wash made the ruling because Tesla’s warranty does not cover car wash damage. After Ferris, who is a photographer, posted her experience on social media, some commenters shared her disappointment, while others revealed that they were already aware that the electric truck isn’t allowed in most car washes. Others went on to explain that it’s their construction: “They are literally built like plastic toy cars and a simple car wash can damage it.” Another commenter pointed out that the Cybertrucks keep shorting out in car washes and getting stuck. Tesla, however, points out that “failure to put Cybertruck in Car Wash Mode may result in damage, and damage caused by car washes are not covered by the warranty.” They recommend using isopropyl alcohol wipes to clean away small stains. The unique car, worth $80,000, has been reported to have many faults.
