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.

And they cheap out on the steel?
Um.. where do you think they get the steel from? Cheap stainless from China. They lied like most of their pre-sales promises
uh oh!
That's capitalism baby!
Oh you're right, socialism always yielded incredibly superior products that were totally not of a fraction of the quality of Western products!
planet on fire
encroaching fascism
corruption at all levels of government and industry
These Jordan's are F.I.R.E!!!
Nobody said that, take your bad faith elsewhere
It’s Musk. He cheaps out on everything.
They probably uses a ferritic type of stainless, you can pick sheets up with magnets making manufacturing much easier but they are less corrosion resistant than 304 or 316.
