Tesla’s Cybertruck is finally hitting the streets. However, the excitement of new owners has been tempered by an unforeseen issue: many Cybertrucks are arriving covered in dirt and sticky residues.
Tesla has reportedly advised its delivery center staff to use dish soap to remove the grime, while some frustrated owners have turned to rubbing alcohol to tackle the more stubborn substances. This less-than-perfect delivery experience has raised eyebrows, particularly given the Cybertruck’s high price point.
The root of the problem seems to lie in a combination of factors. Tesla’s factory, currently undergoing expansion, exposes vehicles to dust and debris during production. Compounding the issue, the Cybertruck’s unique stainless-steel body presents additional cleaning challenges compared to other Tesla models. Former Tesla employees have noted that detailing a Cybertruck can take considerably longer than other vehicles in the company’s lineup.
Despite these frustrations, many owners have reported satisfaction with their purchase after addressing the cleanliness issues. However, the inconsistency in delivery quality has sparked concerns about Tesla’s quality control and customer service practices. One customer, after finally getting their Cybertruck cleaned, expressed mixed feelings, saying, “The truck is fantastic, but I didn’t expect to have to scrub it down as soon as I got it.”
Tesla has reportedly acknowledged the situation and is reportedly working to enhance the cleaning procedures at their delivery centers. moreover, the company is also advising potential owners to consider a pre-delivery inspection or a professional wash to ensure their Cybertruck meets expectations.
