Tesla Cybertrucks Are Rusting Despite Being Made Of Stainless Steel
Despite the recent release of these Tesla EVs — and the little road time they’ve been subjected to — Cybertrucks are already developing imperfections on their body panels, leading owners to debate what’s causing the early signs of rust on forums. From Futurism:
One Cybertruck Owners Club forum member says they started noticing small orange flecks appearing on his truck after driving it in the rain for just two days.
“Just picked up my Cybertruck today,” they wrote. “The advisor specifically mentioned the cybertrucks develop orange rust marks in the rain and that required the vehicle to be buffed out.”
The Cybertruck owner posted followup photos after washing the vehicle down with soap, and they didn’t inspire much confidence, showing body panels already pockmarked with small orange spots.

"Looking forward to the patina" HAHA whatever you fools gotta tell yourselves...
I find patina pretty cool. I have brass stationary and stuff that looks pretty neat. I'm genuinely interested in seeing the rusted cybertrucks.
Whilst I don't disagree, the people who spent all this money on the cyber truck almost certainly didn't do it for the patina, and saying otherwise is pretty obvious fanboy-ism.
Pretty much fanboys willing to spend their money on something they don't understand.
