Some Cybertruck owners say their Teslas are starting to rust in the rain - Autoblog
A member of a Cybertruck owners' forum says they were warned that rain could cause their vehicle to rust when collecting their Tesla.

Tesla apologist brain damage in full swing:

ARE YOU SURE THERE WASN'T AN AXLE GRINDER NEARBY?
Imagine buying a truck like this and having to deal with this stupid s***.
It truly is the car maker that seems to appeal to incels and insecure men.

Almost thought these guys were posting here because they use the same Xenforo platform

I own and run a metal shop, and those rust specks are precisely steel dust that settles on stainless, starts to rust and etches into stainless. Causes are generally grinding/sawing mild steel near stainless, and metal brake dust. Either way, stainless is hard to upkeep, thats why many stainless appliances have clear coat applied. Its a good idea to apply clear paint protection film to the Cybertruck to keep contaminants out. I'm surprised they haven't applied a clear coat to it from the factory.
To be fair, there are maintenance concerns with traditionally painted cars, especially dark colors, and even more so with matte colors that are becoming popular. When it comes to wraps, there are separate concerns as well.
Having said that, I did a quick search on the stainless alloy used on the Cybertruck, and all i see is 30X, which is likely 304. This is not what I would use for exterior applications, I'd always use the more expensive 316 alloy.

I think that people who do truck things should get a tundra and people who want a lifestyle truck should just go R1T

Yesterday at an exotic car meet I was at a cybertruck pulls up.A brodozer dude steps out and parks in literally in the only exit entrance lane with barely enough room to go around. The exotic guys were wondering wtf and the ugly comments started flying.
I immediately left as it summed up things for me.

The level of commitment owners have to these vehicles is out of this world.
"commitment" - that's one (nice) way of putting it LOL
haha if a car owner gets stitches everytime they use it and they decide to keep it....i dont know its got to be amore?
did they sand down those sharp edges....if not legal probably would like a word about liability
