Electrified Cybertruck body panels when charging?

[SSonnentag]

You probably don't even have a Cybertruck as my Beast was into the Tesla Service Center a week before the Farm Boys 'Click Bait' Vid with the issue. I provided images of the voltmeter to the Techs. Tesla answered it is a known state when plugged into a ungrounded outlet. I am not a fan of any Influencer who disparage this vehicle for monetary reward, they are clowns...

The truck is insulated from the ground by the rubber tires. I'd be surprised to find anything that moves through the wind and is insulated from the ground that doesn't show a charge difference. That's what static electricity is. Cat noses are especially susceptible to static discharge when coming in contact with young boys' fingertips....or so I've heard.

LoL....ignorance is bliss, and stupidity is inexcusable. V=IR, volt meters do not read static discharges. when a human is bare footed and touches the metal chassis they create a ground circuit from truck to ground their body becomes the 'R' component. Again, I wouldn't recommend anyone doing a science experiment with what I said, especially the dimwitted. If you don't own a CT then just STFU.

Are you actually measuring the voltage between the vehicle and concrete?
And doing it with what, salt impregnated cloths?

And to top it off, barefoot?

And the icing on the cake, it appears you are measuring DC voltage. (hence the minus sign)

Wet paper towel stupid, water is a great conductor. Barefooted is how it was unknowingly discovered. The measurement was verified and validated by a Tesla Service Center. GFY twinkie.

And your explanation for measuring DC, not AC voltage?

Do you know the level of shock you get from 15V DC?

And I have no idea why you need to use a wet paper towel when connecting a metal probe to a metal sheet.

Not fake. Source - I'm the dumbass that hooked up the wall charger wrong on. Didn't double check cause I saw green status light. Thought it was funny so recorded a vid.

False. Because a Tesla will not draw any current from an ungrounded connection, if your only problem with your wiring is the ground connection is open.

Was looking for this comment. I'm not an EE and even know this one lol. Seems like a lot of people don't understand how many protection mechanisms Tesla has in place already.

These vehicles have to be the safest in the world.

Hope the click-bait stunt was worth the tabloid tornado.
