Vault is not waterproof

[Cyber526]

I’ve been informed by several drivers that the vault isn’t waterproof, posing a significant concern. As a contractor looking to store my tools, it’s disheartening that a truck would lack a waterproof trunk. Disappointed in Tesla—sometimes it feels like they oversell features like full self-driving that don’t actually exist. Enough is enough.
How do you guys feels about it?

Think that water resistant might be even a bit of a stretch. Gets some water in sitting outside in the rain, some when washing, but gets a LOT of water in it when driving on the highway while it is raining.

It not being watertight is a big issue for me. I don’t want my stuff getting wet even on the occasional days it rains in SoCal. My taco bed cap is resistant to a hose-down, and I would want no less for the ct tonneau cover

I would not sell your Tacoma . Let the CT mature in design and get the bugs worked out . There are some real issues . Im in the same boat as you .

I think it's shot from inside the vault of a Cybertruck in boat mode. I can see the leak .

Any non-air-conditioned space will collect dampness if it's raining outside.

I don't see how this is an issue.

The vault is ‘secure’.. I think it’s still a nice feature. I was relieved to see that it (tailgate) actually has an emergency release which only one person has ever mentioned to my knowledge.

I think it's obvious the vault isn't water proof. No one said it was. Ever.

Well, of the half-dozen F-150 aftermarket bed covers I have had were very water tight. When you go camping, you want your stuff to stay dry. I spent many years in the PNW, and if it isn’t raining, it is going to rain soon. What can you store back there if it won’t stay dry? Oh, I was wondering if they deliver the FSCT with the wall charger and other V2H hardware in the back. Guess not because the boxes would get wet. Too bad. For as many years as they spent developing this sucker they sure missed a couple of key points. No worries. I’m checking my app to see if I have a VIN yet!

Yeah but how many of those were motorized and retractable?

I’m no engineer but I think that having both those things are a really hard ask.

Seems to me that you could have either waterproof or motorized retractable?

Any engineers wanna chime in here?

Just add a flat liner that folds using the inner tracks. Then bam water proof. I’m sure an after market company will add this. They can use the same basics as the base camp kit, the fold out part support for the bed shelf and then there’s storage underneath.

Good point, but Tesla does the difficult immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
