I would like to see some pictures. It's hard to judge what the magnitude of the problem is without seeing.
Man, who would have thought that it would be garbage
"Weathered steel" was all the rage on brand new buildings a few years ago, why not on a "truck"? 😏
I'm quite disappointed how rabid, mischievous and ill-wishing people have become. Really, what's going on here on lemmy?
Anyhoo, have a read at these two posts about owners having rust marks on their cars and how they are easily removed. They seem to be rusting particles from train transportation or other environmental stuff:
No, I don't own one and don't plan to.

These Cybertruck owners driving through the Timefall chiral rain from Death Stranding, perhaps?
Shoulda paid the extra 6 grand for the paint.
Half the joke is how the paint also corrodes the metal, just from the underside so it isn't quite as obvious until it starts flaking off in big chunks.
How did they not foresee this? I mean, leave a body panel out for a few months and see what happens to it.
It really depends on the type of stainless. My stainless grill which I leave out in the elements year round has not rusted, it's made of 304 stainless which is corrosion resistant but not as much at Marine grade 316. There are thousands of slightly different alloys under the stainless umbrella some are better than others as far as rust goes.
Many manufacturers use ferritic types of stainless as sheets can be moved with magnets, many of these are cheaper and less corrosion resistant.

idk if there's any other slobs here but stainless still will absolutely rust in certain conditions. Its usually easy to clean but sometimes difficult to remove.
These vehicles will 100% rust and will probably permanently discolor with prolonged exposure to certain acids.

In b4 elon musks dicksuckers say they like the look and want it to rust.
They already did, in the article.
Others are in favor of their Cybertrucks developing orange stains, saying that they’re looking forward to the patina the stainless steel may develop.
My question would be, why didn’t Tesla clear coat the body. Did they not learn anything from the Delorean?
