Have you seen other people in a car wash? Park, reverse, drive but they start holding the brakes when the track pulls them along, leaving antennas up, not closing windows, opening fucking doors… A vast majority of the human population is some level of braindead.
Fuck me, I’ve seen someone pull up into a manual car wash bay, open all their doors, and wash the INSIDE of their car. This was not a washable interior like a Jeep Wrangler or something, it was a typical sedan with carpeted floors and cloth seats.
And these people (theoretically) are licensed to drive, right next to you.
So then it didn’t run after the car wash – unless we’re ignoring the mandatory steps needed to get it working again, the headline is pretty accurate. Or are you considering “bricked” a permanent condition?
Bricked is a permanent condition. And if they were able to get it working again, I wouldn’t say it was bricked. More like broken or crashed in the software sense.
Still, it wouldn’t run after the car wash either.
I meant more like, even if you wash a car with the doors open and water goes in everywhere and damages the car, you can still turn the key and it will start.
It folds the mirrors in and puts the car in neutral. Stuff like that.
So things normal people do to normal cars but with extra steps and Elon.

Yeah, but the car still ran afterwards.
So did this one, but if you include irrelevant details like that, the headline wouldn’t get as many clicks.
Doesn’t it say that the vehicle was bricked, meaning it wouldn’t run after going through the car wash? Isn’t that what happened?
Yeah, that’s what the headline says. In the article it states that it worked again after a service request and a (redidulously long) reboot.

That’s what I think of when I say something is bricked- that’s it fubar, irreparable, fukt, yaknow that kind of thing

Other people have already addressed the main issue here, so I think you’re sorted there.
But yeah, I consider “bricked” a permanent condition - something broken beyond repair, so it’s as useful as a brick. See also “paperweight”.
What do you think it means? Temporarily unavailable?
Read article
I’m curious how many menus deep the car wash mode is too

Oh boy. I should proof read before posting lmao.
