Interesting video, thanks. I believe you may be able to set your Beast to Car Wash Mode, which will prevent the chargeport from opening and closing like that. -Fellow recent Beast owner.
When I was editing the video I thought about that 😅. “Why didn’t I just put it into car wash mode” oh well lol. Congrats on the Beast! I hate driving anything else, mostly because of the steering wheel by wire.
I was thinking the same. A properly fam/bush scratched up look will make it look like it is used for what it is claimed to be. I would never clean it beyond a normal wash if it was mine.
If you off-road and climb through enough srcag, it's definitely better to just keep the CT raw. Even if a wrap would protect the the metal, it's more likely to eventually look terrible if the wrap has damage. Scratched up stainless really doesn't look that bad. Most people putting wraps on are going to baby it anyway. What are your thoughts on a ProtectaClear coat? It should help at least a little, but I'm wondering if it might look bad if an area gets worn while others don't. Either way I think the CT looks pretty cool with minor wears and scratches. I'm really not interested in treating the CT like a Corvette.
@@_nosikeuzoma1456 Currently none. I have a BoltEV as it was all I could afford at the time. I hope to own a Cybertruck soon though but have to see if I can fit in one first due to my extremely long legs. Since I am Canadian that will not be soon since there are no Canadian Cybertruck owners and no Tesla stores anywhere near my location.
Use car wash mode to prevent the charge port from opening. Good video ! CT really is durable. Have you seen the panel replacement photos going around? They are super easy to swap too. Tesla really built a mass-market vehicle here. It's priced for early adopters but these things are eventually going to be everywhere, can't wait.
Take any legacy truck into the bush and your paint job is ruined. The Cybertruck is a game changer - give it a wash and it looks new again except for the plastic bits. They can be replaced with aftermarket metal parts, though. Legacy trucks have just lost their toughness seal - the stainless steel is amazing. Thx for this informative video. I subscribed.
I worked in forestry for 17 years. I have literally 10s of thousands of drives in the bush with trucks. Never ruined a paint job. You get minor scratches in the clearcoat witch easily buff out with carwax.
@TroySavary @xxicemanxx11 I have driven for more than a decade around the interior of Brazil on and to our farms in many different pickups. When we go offroad we literally go off the road. We drive through fields, nearly impassable paths, bushes, small trees, rivers of the savannah, jungle, rocky regions and so on. Even when we are not off road most roads are dirt roads that in the rainy season become impossible. Farms are in some cases many hundreds of miles apart. Some roads are so bad that a hundred miles can take 8 hours. The paint job (always white) of a new truck is ruined nearly instantly. Not that we care much except that first time you do it to a new truck. We nearly only use Toyota Hilux as they seemingly are the only pickup that can handle the abuse without breaking down. Also the most expensive of pickups that size. Can you buff the point job out? Yeah, until you get those real deep scratches from rocks, trees, termite nests, and leaves that cut like blades. Do we ever bother? Not really.
I laugh what people term as "off roading" when they drive down a dirt road, I live in NZ and work in Australia, off roading here is called bush bashing and you make your own tracks through hard country and scratches , dings and damage is not optional. You don't take your new $100,000 ute bush bashing! LOL
My 2015 Jeep has dents, scratches and mud from 2015. So will the Cybertruck. They are called proof of use. I do wash and wax my Jeep every March. But it is impossible to get all of the dirt out of the crevices.
Were they scratches in the metal, or wood residue deposited from the branches scraping? My guess is the latter, since you couldn't feel scratches, and since it wiped off easily. That, and wood should not easily scratch steel.
@@dblcapcrimpinit seems like you actually use the truck; I wouldn’t wrap or PPF. I find it insane that almost all new buyers have wrapped it. Unless they’re show cars you’re just throwing the $$$ in the trash.
i appreciate all of the foundation buyers driving these CT like they stole it. your sacrifice will make the CT a much better trucks for us all

Freaking awesome.
10000 times better than scratches in any paint!!! Thx

I kinda would like seeing it a little scratched up all over. Looks more post-apocalyptic cyberpunk.

Nice effort on the demonstration. It was very helpful to put the product in use in the top right of the video!
barkeepers then windex, windex neitralizes the acid in barkeepers, and removes residue.
Thanks!
Looks pretty badass hauling down that dirt rode

7:25 doesn't it have car wash mode like other Teslas? I think that keeps the charge port from opening.
Yeah, I forgot about it😅
Good to know. What are you using on the plastic parts to shine up?
I haven’t found a product I like yet.
@dblcapcrimpin let me know. Armorall I've used before. It's shines up good but lasts a couple days only.
i was wondring, if you polish the body of the cybertruck it will shine or look like a mirror?
Both?
Did you put the truck in carwash mode before washing?
Definitely forgot to… that’s why the charge port kept opening😅
Put the truck in carwash mode
Yeah… that was an after thought. Not going to lie, I completely forgot about it (clearly).
Were they scratches in the metal, or wood residue deposited from the branches scraping? My guess is the latter, since you couldn't feel scratches, and since it wiped off easily. That, and wood should not easily scratch steel.
No real scratches (minus the lower right side where I’m not sure what happened). It’s almost like a branch “polished” a line down the side.
You say no deep or no real scratches. Were there ANY scratches? After the wash.
@@justonbrazda3846 idk what to call it… I wouldn’t call it a scratch but almost like the wood “polished/bufffed” lines in the SS
@@dblcapcrimpin got it.
@@justonbrazda3846 check end of video. I do have scratches on the bottom right side but I don’t know what it’s from.
You should polish it to a mirror like shine

I hear there are carbon fiber replacements for the plastics.
Unplugged Performance makes some. I personally don’t like their design change but would love some carbon fiber.
What Tesla model do you own?

can't imagine how many more scratches there would be, if it were any other 'steel' trucks
Just easily buffed out scratches in the clear coat. You realise people do this daily in other trucks, right?
Is this from your personal experience or…?

I'd just have it wrapped.

That's too much work......WTH, like waxing a car after every wash lmao

A wrap with get shredded if you regularly drive on trails where trees scrape the truck.
