Yeah no this is sus. How is that screen so dusty when its a new car. I mean fuck tesla, their cars suck ass, but this doesnt make sense.

Honestly I was with you, it was weird.
I did some digging and found the tweet, he's a kool aid drinking tech bro and backed up his claim with a selfie and screenshots from speaking with their support center.
Can chalk this one up to actually terrible products.
-
Wow so they just ship a dusty product. Thats fucking hilarious. They cant even put up the facade of quality service.
-
Probably was sitting in the lot for a bit, and maybe in a dusty area, but yeah... Not bothering to clean the vehicle if it's gotten dusty before sale is pretty shitty too

If you look closely at the second image, it looks like it still has the peelies on it. Those things are dust magnets.
-
Those peelings are worn to shit. This truck did not come from the factory exactly
-
Sure. Probably sat in a dealer's parking lot, collecting dust. People will sometimes leave the peelies on as a way to keep the car "like new," until they're ready to just use the thing.

They aren't being cleaned? You think basic maintenance is happening on those trashcans?

As with most electronics, the most likely times for failure are shortly after manufacture and years later after use. Failures in the middle are generally rare, hence the warranty.
There are components where quality testing can only give a pass/fail so there's no way to know that it barely passed until it fails shortly after.
This isn't unique to Tesla, or even EVs. This happens with nearly all electronics. Many things can be tested more thoroughly and have lower quality limits set above what's actually required, but some stuff just can't be tested like that ahead of time.
And there's always just real life. They could have driven it home and parked near to a packrat who decided that a wiring harness looked like a good snack overnight. The car can't tell that a rat ate the wiring, it will just give generic errors for whatever isn't working right. Is that likely? No, but it is possible, and not something we would be able to tell from screenshots of the generic error screen telling the driver to schedule service.

This happens with nearly all electronics.
This happens to nearly all complex systems. It's called the Bathtub Curve: infant mortality at the beginning of an item's life, and after a relatively problem-free interval, a steady increase in problems that accelerates once it's past its planned-obsolescence point.

The first image says the frunk is open. I’d imagine that would trigger a pull the fuck over message
-
"Frunk is open. Pull the truck over and shut the trucking frunk"
-
It's a button to open the frunk, not a message saying that it's open. There's another one for the tailgate on the right
-
Ah. That would make sense.
-
That's a button? Do they just not have UX designers at Tesla?
-
Only the best for the best truck ever
