I would call a car that can be knocked out of commission for half a day because you washed it worth a story.

Read the article though. All that really happened was a delay in reboot. The headline is nothing like what actually happened, which was consumer mishap, essentially.

It needed to be rebooted because he washed it 'wrong'. and its a known issue that after the car gets too wet reboots can take hours upon hours like this.
