So what happens if it rains hard, someone sprays your car with a hose, or you drive through a big puddle and you’re not in “Car Wash Mode”?

Depends. Is the car in direct sunlight at the time?

Why does this make a difference?

Cuz they rust faster when wet in the sunlight. Known fact about the Cybertruck.

That is not ideal.

I think I like paint more than worrying about preventing rust on a new vehicle in the summer.
