Ever since the update just prior to ASS every time I take my Cybertruck through a car wash. I loose at least one camera and the screen only shows the truck and no other area information around it. Is anyone else having this issue?

I always put it in car wash mode and have never had an issue the dozens of times prior that I took it through a wash. It all eventually comes back after the truck sits powered off for a couple hours. Just very annoying as I typically loose my rear view mirror and can’t use FSD.

Sounds like a loose camera connection. No bueno. Is it intermittent on which cameras you lose?

I’ve car-washed my truck 2x/week since day 2 with no issues! 🙏

This is another reason I do NOT wash my FSCB.
Why? I go through brushed automated washes all the time. I only have issues with the GPS becoming offset by half a block shortly after, until it dries off or whatever.

Cause it is a truck and I use it as such. I’m not entering any car shows with it. It gets rinsed off with each rain.I do keep the interior clean. I just don’t care what it looks like on the outside.

I'm with you on that, but It's easier(lazy?) to clean the windshield gunk off by going through a car wash. They also have vacuums which I use to clean out the mud, rocks and grass on the mats. I didn't bother with a wrap because I treat it like a truck and go bushwacking frequently. The animals using it as a scratching post would destroy any pavement princess' ppf/wrap as well.

was wondering if anyone's taken theirs through a full-service wash where you normally get out

The Cybertruck tolerates hundreds of car wash’s flawlessly and if yours doesn’t there is something not right that should be fixed while it has a warranty.

Yeah, there’s a bad seal on a connector somewhere. No idea how to figure out which one, other than to water the truck in sections until the problem crops up
