Tesla Cybertruck No Match For Car Wash
"That's the only thing I've done that's different. Then I pulled it in the garage, and nothing."

Seems to me they spent 4 years & 9 months trying to figure out how to bend all the body pieces, and slapped the rest of the truck together in the remaining 3 months.
Tesla Cybertruck No Match For Car Wash
"That's the only thing I've done that's different. Then I pulled it in the garage, and nothing."
A call with Tesla confirmed that the truck had needed a complete reboot which took over five hours of sitting to complete. From the moment he’d initiated the reboot method of holding down two steering wheel buttons, the truck was apparently working on a reboot until some time in the middle of the night.
Oh, 5 hours (!!) to reboot is sure convenient when you're on a road trip somewhere. Or, you know, just using it is a regular day to day vehicle.
"Sorry dear, can't make it to dinner tonight, the truck got wet and needs to reboot, going to go get a hotel for the night instead".
It's running Windows Me.
Here's more. It looks like the overhead console containing the PRND switches also supports the sun visors, and isn't properly secured.

I can't quite tell from the picture but those clips look suspiciously like the clips that hold the grille on my $1000 fridge. They work ok (but not well) in my application but they are perpendicular to gravity, not subject to much vibration or touch and not a life-safety location.Here's more.

How much is that going to cost taxpayers?
Tesla Cybertruck Breaks In New, Innovative Way
It seems like every time Tesla addresses one issue, another pops up.

I assume they will get the same deal as the others and we pick up about 85%.
apparently this deal is structured differently (tax breaks) as opposed to cash dumps VW and Stellantis got. :
"Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is offering more tax breaks to automotive firms to put their electric vehicle factories in Canada, as companies including Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. consider lucrative new investments.
Canada’s federal budget, released on Tuesday, unveiled a new 10% tax credit on the capital cost of buildings used for EV manufacturing — but only if companies make a significant bet on locating other portions of their supply chains within the country."

You can lease a Toyota bZ4X for next to nothing right now
Toyota's only all-electric model hasn't been selling great, so the automaker is resorting to deep lease discounts.
