Back bumper doesn’t drain

[msl0727]

When parked on a grade/driveway, water does not have a way of draining as indicated above after a very short shower.

I wonder if we could drill holes in the plastic to give water an escape.

Couple 1/4" holes in each corner should fix that

Same, thinking to drew a whole at the corner.

Yea just look underneath first to make sure there is not anything back there, think that whole diaper is empty for future battery packs but make sure before you overdrill, or at least put a stopper on drill bit so you don't go through something.

Accerate fast and the water will be left behind.

Noticed this as well ?

My Nissan NV has a similar issue, but worse. While parked on a downslope, my electric side view mirrors hold water. Doesn’t seem to harm anything as it’s been 10 years now. Except when you open the door to get in, a small wave of water comes splashing out.
Of course my rear bumper is similar and it acts as a bird bath.

Park in the other direction.

Then I can’t reach my wall connector

That's what I did on the same spot of my F-150. Otherwise it turns green with algae if not washed every week. I used about a 3/16" drill bit, and it works, but I shouldn't have held back. I would probably use a 5/16" bit if I were to do it again.

Did you ever drill the holes?

Wouldn't holes up there just drain water into the hitch cover?

The hitch cover is designed to drain any water that finds itself in, regardless of whether the truck is pointed uphill or downhill. The Cybertruck's bumper cover is designed just like the one on my F-150. It holds water in the same spot above the hitch area if not parked facing uphill. I just drilled two holes in it to let the water drain. I haven't bothered doing this on my Cybertruck yet but I probably will before the winter rains arrive again.
