Simple question for the group... I use automated car wash stations quite regularly now and then follow-up with a good vacuum. Since the dimension of the current design is a beast, was wondering if you think it will fit in the car washes okay? If I have to go back to manual car washes, I will have to pop a couple more motrins. :)

If an F-150 fits, then a Cybertruck will fit. I've seen plenty of Chevys, Rams, and Fords going into our local wash.

I'll probably look more into real, actual DIY detailing kits and washes. I mean, I have a child. He's gotta have something to do. :unsure:

I know we have talked about this before but I also get my car washed after playing and it has a single track for one wheel. I am assuming 5he same; that if a full-sized truck height will fit the so will the CT. The tires are standard off-road tire sizes. I guess I’ll go less often though.

A place you take the layer of salt and dust off your vehicle so you can see out the windows again, and blow the rocks and mud from your wheels so you can get back up freeway speeds.

Hey also vacuum the crumbs and sand from the floor mats sometimes.

Yes it should, plus it *should* wash and and dry quick due to the design. Caution!!! Ensure bed cover is up before going it, otherwise you will leave with a free swimming pool.

Unless that's the objective! :)

My Tacoma has two pencil-diameter drain holes close to the cab and water flows under the tailgate easily. The drains close to the cab constantly clog up with debris, so I hope that's something the CT will handle better in cases where water does get into the bed.

I know the pain of unclogging those holes! Eventually the bed rusted a larger hole and now I just just leave them clogged.

I have never peeked under my bed liner...

Let's hope this is a non-issue in about 12-18 months. Calculator estimates my delivery to be October 2022 (I ordered next day). I'm hopeful that's an under-estimate/over-achieve situation...

In the demo, Elon showed it lowering the back end of the truck so you can get toys in and out easy. This would be an excellent way to empty the bed of any and all items not wanted.

With the tri-motor, you could just lower the rear gate then get in and hit the accelerator hard. Everything in the back will be out right quick.

Along these lines, I wonder how well the SS will handle typical car washes. Will it swirl like paint? Will it get scratched? Shake it off? I don't think it will have any problems fitting in one.
