"Cybertruck's warranty is void if you drive it offroad" is not what I expected from a car that is supposed to help you survive apocalypse.

They voided its the warranty by driving it.

You’re supposed to keep it mint in box.

Like a Hummel or Precious Moments. Maybe on a nice shelf in grandma’s house.

oh lol, I read it a bit further - acts of God like sunlight and bird droppings aren't covered either.

Modern scientific minds are now skeptical about the assertion that a hurricane could be caused by a butterfly flapping its wings on the other side of the world, but modern legal minds agree that the butterfly's distant wing flapping could void a Cybertruck's warranty.

JFC. "Acts of God" is supposed to be a legal term of art for events beyond human control, not just anything you could blame on Ra and Horus.

You have to appreciate a mind so open that they can see the workings of God when a bird voids.

There is a special providence in the "fall" of a sparrow.

Is this a truck or a vampire?

So, if, like, *anything at all* touches or happens near the cybertruck, the warranty is voided. Sweet.

Sunlight and… water? Sounds like the warranty is void as soon as you take it outside.

Okay so I really really REALLY hate to be that person, but all car warranties are like this, just this one is very specific about the road hazards. Most other warranties use broader language like “abuse”. Most of them DO get specific about the bird shit.
Avatar
But… water? Sunlight?? This apparently voids the warranty if you drive during the day. Or in the rain. Or if you attempt to wash off the bird poop which also voids the warranty.
Avatar
The warranty is not voided, those damage types aren’t COVERED. As to why they call out sunlight and water, I can only guess it’s not well written and what they mean is wear over time, like how cars that aren’t garaged get sun damaged paint. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hate that this sounds like I’m defending this POS. 🤣

No, they specifically instruct the owners to clean off literally anything that touches the car but also don't go through a car wash. It's not time it's the shit design.

The fact that his businesses are all still afloat is making me feel insane

I would rethink my investment in an electric car company run by a guy who posts this bsky.app/profile/kath...
In case anyone had any doubts.

That's not driving it offroad; that's driving it onroad. Also, I am skeptical whether it's even legal to say your car has a warranty that's voided by potholes, curbs, driveways, and "debris".

Those are all acts of God, I guess
Avatar
It's right there in Genesis: in the beginning God said "let there be light", and later that light would void the Cybertruck warranty.
Avatar
It shouldn't be called a truck. That is stolen valor. It's a fragile oddity in the form of a vehicle.

It’s like someone cribbed the old “Happy Fun Ball” sketch and said “Use this for a car!”
Avatar
It wasn’t designed to ride on roads?
Avatar
I joked that Cybertruck owners void the warranty by driving it, which turned out to be not a joke at all.
Avatar
That list pretty much rules out anything but freshly laid asphalt. It definitely rules out about half the roads here in Georgia. (By the way, someone has one listed for sale in Atlanta for $180k. Most of the roads in Georgia would void the warranty.)
Avatar
That's funny. Tesla said it is blacklisting anyone who resells the thing in less than a year of getting it. Guess this person enjoys money more than Elon's abominations.
Avatar
There are quite a few listed on Marketplace. May be scams.
Avatar
It was designed to never go into production, but Elon was told by his lawyers that he would have to give all that pre-order money back if he didn't produce SOMETHING. So he shat out the worst possible vehicle, and made the buyers eat the costs of keeping it from killing them and everyone they love.
Avatar
Just keep it parked and plugged in? It's supposed to be a truck? 🚒

did this thing have to pass any inspections at all?? like how is it possible to sell a car this way
Avatar
The fact that it got delivered to customers with faulty accelerator pedal that could get stuck tells me that it didn't.
Avatar
Also the fact that even the Tesla maniacs have widely reported that you really can't see shit out of the back cameras most the time.

Aka you are not allowed to drive it in the City of New Orleans

I know ad laws in the us are a joke but if I like if I sell my truck perfect for offroading then I claim it voids the warrenty I feel like I could be sued.

You expect "Your warantee is voided if you use a car wash" to not include potholes in the exclusion list?
Avatar
The joke is it wasn't designed so everything voids the warranty.
Avatar
I don't have a warranty either on this but it was $2800 :)

Bet it drives a million times better too.
