After filing a ticket with Tesla to get the truck rebooted , the Cybertrucker go to bed andwoke up the next morning to a mostly functional hand truck . A call with Tesla confirm that the motortruck had need a unadulterated reboot which take over five minute of sit to make out . From the second he ’d initiated the reboot method acting of holding down two steering bike push button , the truck was apparently working on a reboot until some meter in the middle of the night .
Interestingly the drug user does n’t mention whether Tesla was able to declare oneself any insight as to why the truck decided to stop working , if it was due to the car wash or something else whole . The Cybertruck ’s owners manual does caution against ever washing the truck in lineal sun , and there is a discussion section expressly remark that the truck has to be switched into “ Car Wash Mode ” before washing to avoid damage to part of the vehicle .
If you ’re out there driving a Tesla Cybertruck , possibly do n’t lave it for a while . You never know when you ’ll be left maroon waiting for the truck to sieve itself out in five hours or so .
