I messed up! Used regular water and soap on Matt’s Cybertruck

Washed the Cybertruck by hand with a hose and soap. How do you think it turned out?

[@jstring]

This is exactly the kind of person I envisioned owning one of these. “Oh noooo I got pebbles in my truck”

[@MattsCybertruck]

Haha! Thanks for the comment! To be clear I really don’t care…but I figured that some folks on YT might benefit from seeing it.

@@MattsCybertruck More power to ya. Pun intended. See now I appreciate you because you weren’t thin skinned. What a conundrum.

[@stuartatkins5425]

I think the best solution to make the CyberTruck look good is to wrap it in your favorite color.

[@MattsCybertruck]

There are some pretty neat wrap jobs out there now! Not my style but some folks like it.

I wouldn’t wash any car in full sunlight. Part of “real world” test, I guess.

[@MattsCybertruck]

I’ve done it my whole life. We do get 320+ days of full sunlight per year so it’s hard not to.

[@aircraftmech123456]

Make sure you put it in carwash mode :) also dont do that in direct sunlight!

[@ianmontgomery7534]

Did you put it in "car wash mode"?

[@cobrajoe1974]

I wonder if stainless steel spray cleaner used for home appliances would work well? Maybe not in the direct sunlight though.

[@MisterHaynes99]

same, me neither, nothing special, its my truck, good video

[@ianmontgomery7534]

maybe give it a spray with WD-40 as a form of protection. When I worked in China we used to do this to stainless steel cooking equipment and it appeared to work.

[@TKing2724]

That will attract dirt like a magnet. You will regret it.

[@ianmontgomery7534]

@@TKing2724Not if you rub it in. We never found it to be a problem with the stainless we had outside.

[@MattsCybertruck]

I can’t imagine that would go well! Haha! But I’m sure someone will try it!

[@ianmontgomery7534]

@@ickebins6948 rub it in like you would a polish. Of course it actually doesnt get rubbed in but neither does car polish.

Why was there water in bed when you opened the cover?? Isn't it watertight?? Not good....

[@Mordalo]

There won't be an aftermarket as this truck will not last. I am sorry for you for having been sucked in by the hype of EVs in general and this truck in particular.

[@davidwright640]

What happens when some jerk keys the door panels? Shopping cart dings. Riding behind a gravel truck. Bird poop that stays on for a few days.

[@MattsCybertruck]

I think probably the same that happens with a regular car with paint? This SS is supposed to be much more dent and scratch resistant become there is no paint but time will tell I suppose!

[@ers247]

I have a dumb question, when you just do a regular wash you don't need to put it in car wash mode?

[@MattsCybertruck]

Not for a regular car wash, no but I don’t think it hurt it either.

[@rbfarrell1]

Give it a year and these CT will be old news and prices will be way down.

[@MattsCybertruck]

I bet…makes me wonder how they’ll weather the test of time. Since they’re so “different” I’m not sure they’ll retain value but guess we will see. Lucky for me I didn’t buy as an “investment”

[@ianmontgomery7534]

To remove those pebbles I would use electrician's pointy nose pliers .

[@Loucfr]

I’m surprised they chose to leave it as bare metal. They could have clear coated over the top and we wouldn’t have any issues with rust or washing. But I guess that hits their bottom line 😂

[@MattsCybertruck]

Rust has not been an issue for me or anyone I’ve met with one. Guess we will see over time!

[@badimpulses17]

Rhino line the whole truck.

[@MattsCybertruck]

I was considering lining the bottom quarter panel for rock protection. Might do it…but want to see how the SS performs for a while first.

[@jasonhendry8104]

Did you break it by washing it. Elon made a man's truck that break when washed, not a real outdoors vehicle. Careful now you will void the warranty😂😂😂😂 POS

[@MattsCybertruck]

No. I can see why some people are wrapping them but that’s way more work. I’ll probably wash it 2-3 times per year and call it good.
