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.

It’s stainless steel, not rustless steel! /s
In all honesty, stainless steel is just that: it stains less.
Stainproof steel is steel that would not stain.
It’s a painless lesson to learn.
Right. To be clear though, the name is early 20th century marketing wank. It just happens that it’s also a pun that is more accurate.
