I was watching a Cybertruck driver “test the truck’s wade mode,” and was treated to some accidental comedy. Check this out: “Wow, What a Beast!” Here’s the Non-Exhaustive List of Damages The drive is pretty uneventful, but the aftermath? It’s pretty eventful. The repair bill just keeps multiplying.

chemicals, tree sap, animal or insect droppings, … water, contamination, lightning
and other environmental conditions"
So, if you get all bricked up in the car wash, you’re now the proud owner of a $100,000 rust brick.
