Tesla has finally started delivering its much-anticipated Cybertruck models, but excitement has quickly turned to disappointment for some new owners.
Reports indicate many vehicles are arriving covered in dirt and grime, raising concerns about quality control.
This issue has caught the attention of owners who paid close to $100,000 for their trucks, only to find them marred by mud and sticky residues at the moment they received their keys.
According to the Wall Street Journal, several new owners have openly expressed frustration online, sharing images of their deliveries featuring dirty interiors and exteriors.
One owner complained of muddy floors, dusty consoles, and even strange white streaks found inside the truck bed after delivery.
Adding to the puzzle, some owners noticed greasy fingerprints on the stainless-steel body and hazy coatings on the windshields, affecting visibility.
The cause of this messy delivery experience stems from Tesla's manufacturing and delivery setup.
While Tesla’s factories are undergoing expansions, newly produced vehicles are exposed to construction dust and debris, complicate the delivery process.
Delivery centers nationwide are reportedly overwhelmed, which has led to confusion over how to clean the Cybertrucks effectively.
A former Tesla employee indicated detailing the Cybertruck takes longer than standard models due to its unique design and materials.
Despite these issues, some customers expressed satisfaction once they managed to clean the trucks themselves.
One relieved owner shared, "The truck is fantastic, but I didn’t expect to have to scrub it down as soon as I got it."
Although Tesla reportedly acknowledges the cleaning concerns, many customers feel frustrated with the quality control of the company.
Managers at Tesla’s delivery centers have been advised to use dish soap to tackle the grime, but some owners resorted to using rubbing alcohol for tough stains.
To address these complaints, Tesla suggests future buyers should request pre-delivery inspections or professional cleaning services before taking their vehicles home.
There's good news on the horizon, though; Tesla appears to be focused on enhancing their cleaning procedures to prevent this issue from happening again.
Overall, the recent delivery debacle surrounding Tesla's Cybertruck serves as both caution and reminder for multi-million dollar endeavors.
While the innovative design and engineering behind the Cybertruck have sparked tremendous interest, the initial delivery experience leaves many potential buyers with mixed feelings.
Hopefully, with improvements on the way, the excitement of owning a Cybertruck can overshadow the initial sticky situation.
For purchasers, ensuring their first impression of the vehicle is as polished as its futuristic design is worth advocating for.
