The Cybertruck’s owners manual does caution against ever washing the truck in direct sunlight, and there is a section expressly mentioning that the truck has to be switched into “Car Wash Mode” before washing to avoid damage to parts of the vehicle.

Da fuq!?

Do not expose the steel gremlin to water
Do not expose the steel gremlin to sunshine
Never ever feed the steel gremlin after midnight

"Why? Can it hurt me?"

"No. It's just tacky."

Oh, no, it can hurt you. Badly. It's needlessly heavy and has a pointy front bumper. Hope one never gets behind you.

Car wash mode shuts off the automatic braking, folds in the mirrors, closes the windows, and puts it in neutral. It isn’t to protect the steel or anything silly like that.

You really should be careful about washing any car in direct sunlight if you want the best result/paint longevity. For the cybertruck I would think it would matter much less.
