Manufacturing Defect
Cybertruck owners mistake factory defect for vandalism
Reported by AI
Several Tesla Cybertruck owners initially believed their vehicles had been vandalized with invisible paint that appears when wet, but Tesla service confirmed it as a manufacturing defect. The marks, such as initials on the B-pillar, stem from residue left by factory protective film or wax pens used for marking. Owners reported the issue on social media, leading to warranty repairs.
