If you can't safely take the Cybertruck to a car wash, I wonder how it will fare as a boat?

Aside from every other stupid aspect of such a stupid idea, I'm curious where he thought people were going to be able to get hydrazine to refuel the thruster.

Oh god that hadn't even occured to me.

Yeah... yeah.

I dunno, send it back to the dealer, have them do it lol?

I'm sure car mechanics will just be a-ok with handling hydrazine, rofl!

I can't even find barely any independent mechanic that'll touch a gas-electric hybrid, they're too 'complicated', apparently.

From your friendly neighbourhood hydrazine dealer of course. What, you don't have a hydrazine station next door? Are you some kind of a Poor or something?
