Reminds me when foldable smartphones first came out. If you touched them wrong the screen got fucked.

It was an expensive brick before the car wash, too.

Can we just say that Cybertruck is basically a sum of everything wrong with right wing wackos?

“Look at me, I’m a badass, driving around in a badass vehicle, unlike you filthy libruls. … Aww shucks! There’s road salt! And my accelerator pedal just fell off wtf. …OH NO! A LITTLE WATER TOO! Anything but that!”

I’m amused that liberals bash Tesla for being a conservative virtue signaler by extension of Elon, while conservatives bash Tesla for being an EV virtue signal for liberal tree huggers.

And this, right here, is why Tesla’s stock price is down 50% from its all time high.

The craziest thing is it was already overvalued, Elon got “forced” into selling at peak, and then tanked the company he bought with it too. Just unreal clown behavior.

Gold bricks are worth like $750k so its definitely not the most expensive brick.

Yeah, but someone is gonna buy that gold off you as it holds value , not sure who they’ll be able to trick into taking it off their hands as it’ll be worth a sack of potatoes.

People pay money for actual bricks, I say we stop this brick-shaming.

You’re telling me gold doesn’t immediately diminish in value after you move it a few feet from where you purchased it?

I’m going to blow your mind: it’s also capable of being run through a car wash.

Found another article analysing this incident and how unlikey it is that the car wash itself caused the screen brick and that Tesla screens generally can run somtimes into those errors and resetting it ususally worked in other Teslas: https://cleantechnica.com/2024/04/18/whats-going-on-with-the-tesla-cybertruck-that-wouldnt-work-after-a-car-wash/
