This is the secret weapon to wash the Cybertruck. Your feet stay on the ground.

Extension handles for other cleaning tools tend to have standardized threads so you probably already have the extending handle that turns this brush head into the secret weapon for washing the Cybertruck fast. I wash the windshield from the center-front, and the glass roof/tonneau cover/bed area from the rear.
I also use a product like you suggest when washing the entire truck, but I keep stuff in the vault that would make it inconvenient to climb up there to wash the roof and my stuff would get wet too.

Further, I’m 75 and not as nimble as I used to be. The platform is very stable as long as I donā€˜t do anything stupid. I will soon be hitting I-5 for a long drive south & will need it to clean the windshield when supercharging.

I use a long enough extension that I can stand behind the truck, with the vault closed, to wash the glass roof and top of the tonneau. Nothing inside gets wet. I only clean the inside of the bed if it's empty. And none of my stuff in the Smuggler's compartment under the bed gets wet, even after hosing out the bed, because the compartment is well-sealed.

The windshield can be cleaned while travelling with an extension pole too, without using a hose and water. No need to step up on a step, which is more important the older you are. You just need a few glass cleaning mitts to change out as they become soiled. Plus, an extension pole is a lot lighter and easier to handle than a platform to stand on.

You're funny. I've wanted to test hitting the SS with a rubber mallet to show people the SS strength. But I'm chicken it will leave a mark that I'll want to polish out. Have you tried hitting the truck with hammers or any other tool that would damage a painted vehicle?
Seems like there are videos out there showing this sort of thing.
