The huge panel gaps and central wiring harness would explain a car wash being lethal to the cyber truck.

You’ve got panel gaps as big as your thumb on some of those $100k “trucks” and from what I understand, every wiring harness in the car feeds back to one central harness. Get water anywhere on a live contact and it’s going to short something.

“Thermonuclear explosion proof glass” but it can’t handle a standard gas station car wash. Put away your guns and hydrogen bombs, guys. All you need to bring down the Pedestrian Crusher 9000 is a super soaker with some salt water.
