21 miles and screen absolutely covered in dust. These things must be sitting for ages and not selling. Not even a wipe down from the Tesla store.
Oops, did they accidentally do the remote self-destruction on a vehicle that was already sold?
How the hell should I know?
Oh well, it sucks to be you, a Muskrat dick-sucker.
That screen is awfully dusty for a car you bought 10 minutes ago
Well, it still does have a protective foil on it and very few finger traces in the dust.
Still, the bottom corner of the film is peeling. Could have been sitting on a lot for a long time, but peeling like that after only a few test drives at most?
Edit: I ended up digging into his Twitter page and everything is legit. And I'm baffled.

Dropping it off:
Cabin climate control system requires service.
Am I reading that right? Do you need a connection to an external service to turn on the air conditioning?
I would definitely interpret that as in "needs to be serviced at a garage/dealer."
Ah yes, that does make more sense, I'm a computer nerd so interpreted the wrong way. Still something's clearly gone horribly wrong here.
I love that people think @elonmusk is a valid technical support approach
I know it’s fun to hate on the CyberTruck (absolutely has deserved it), but I’d bet money on this being a 12v battery issue, maybe from improper storage? Only reason I say this is that I have a Kia Soul EV and it gave me pretty much the exact same warning the other day and refused to start. Turned out the 12v battery was dead and that causes all kinds of weird stuff to happen to the electrical systems in the car. Especially considering that the entire electrical system of the CT is consolidated into one wiring harness.
Also, knowing Tesla, attempting to jump the 12v would probably void a warranty.
With modern cars having so many sensors, a dying battery can cause all sorts of weird, seemingly random issues. I have no idea it's the problem here but it's usually one of the first things I check when an issue isn't obvious. Just because the battery starts the car (or does whatever it does in evs) doesn't mean that the sensors, relays, and servos are getting the juice they need to operate correctly.
You just need to seig heil harder, bro
Lmao, imagine a car not working because of a software bug. That's just pathetic.
That's... Basically every car made in the last 15 years?
Yes and?
He...he can't help you. He's the nepo baby of people who owned blood mines. He doesn't actually know anything useful. Or care about you.
He's also the grandson of a man who tried to overthrow democracy in Canada and was forced to flea.
Mentioning this on Twitter might bring it to his attention and since this is bad PR, he might expedite the complaint so that it gets fixed sooner. That's probably the thinking here. I've seen it happen with companies before
Swastidumpster doesn't really flow. We need alternatives for the cyberclunk. Anyone got suggestions?

'Deplorean' is my personal fav followed by 'Wankpanzer'
I think SwastiCar works really well
Yeah, but that applies to the brand as a whole.

Oh I like this one.

"Let them drive cake" because the thing looks like a bad slice of cake and we all know where things are headed.
Bonus double-entendre that what they're driving is ass.

Put it in H!

RIP bozo (the car)
I mean the guy too, the first logo on his stupidly pretentious website on where he's been "featured" is fox news. Glad to see his car shut down on him straight off the lot
But they're not resting in peace. They seem angry.
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.
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.
