I know it's a truck but the water stains or drip marks annoy me. How is everyone dealing with those if at all?

I've had my Cybertruck for 6 months and haven't noticed any drip marks, probably because my bed doesn't leak.

But it's just regular plastic, you should be able to wash it with soap and water. If you are extra particular, you could apply a dressing meant for plastic parts. I like the "no fuss" look and avoid chemicals when I don't need them, so I haven't bothered.

BTW, my Cybertruck lives outside, in the sun and rain, 24/7.

My bed leaks pretty badly. I'm wondering if anyone has taken it in for service for that issue. I know there is a popular video on how to fix it yourself but that's definitely not my first choice.

I did and they replaced my seal. It still leaks a little (barely some drips at the top when they did the hose test by laying a running hose at the top of the window). They said it's not intended to be completely watertight. I pointed to some saying it was and they said "either they are just lucky or they haven't experienced the right type of rain/water". They said that with the 30-40 CTs they've touched...all allow some water.

It's much better now with the new seal.

I have a service coming up for it. I think I'll add more details about the amount of water coming in. I think I first expected water to get in but maybe misjudged on the amount after reading others experiences.

I get pretty good puddles in the vault when washing or after good rain. Probably should park on an incline so it can at least can drain out

I used to get a huge puddle, but now it's like someone spilled a half of a bottle of water, even after the last hurricane came through. I'll take that, more waterproof than my last truck now.
