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 yet, in this case he’s right.

        Yep! It’s almost as if “Stainless Steel” is just a marketing term for various iron alloys!

        Sounds like they’re both right.

        Stainless steel shouldn’t be named stainless because it can stain despite the suffix meaning “without”.

          It just needs a space between stain and less. “Stain Less Steel”
