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 called “stainless” because you can remove the rust without leaving stains. Where’s the problem? Just rub down your useless, horribly expensive pile of crap with steel wool every few days. And oil it. There are several kinds of"stainless" steel, too. We can safely assume, they took the cheapest. Ah the 2020s, the apex decade of scams. And like always, the scammers are not the problem, they were here at any time and they will be. The stupidity that falls for it is. Is all evolving so painfully slow…
I doubt you can really buff that thing properly. The panels are under tension and if the clips give, the bumper just flies off.
Imagine buffing that car.
