      Not all innovation succeeds and this might not, but what other car company would even try? Innovation is about being willing to try things that are new and different, even when it fails

        Things that don’t work are not innovation. Stainless steel that rusts is certainly not innovation.

      Not a musk fan, but all these rust problems could have been avoided if the buyers just ponied up another $5,000 for a clear coat.

      Even though it’s a really crappy money grab, technically the rust problem isn’t tesla fault per se.

        It’s not Tesla’s fault that they sell a car that rusts unless you pay them extra?

            No it is not your fault. You should not be expected to buy a car with the expectation that it will rust immediately unless you pay thousands of dollars more. That’s essentially saying you’re going to have something broken unless you pay extra.
