Tesla Cybertrucks Are Rusting Despite Being Made Of Stainless Steel
Owners say they are noticing orange stains on the stainless steel panels of their new Cybertrucks.
Stainless steel still rusts. It just rusts far slower. Having a bare all stainless steel vehicle was stupid.
Did they not clear coat the steel?
Nope. It's bare metal.
There is an paint option that costs $13000
They probably used equipment on (things that are not stainless steel) and the stainless, contaminating the stainless. ( Any cutting/sanding/buffing equipment you use on stainless steel should either be new or only used for stainless previously, iircc. )
Because. Because they're made of stainless steel.
Adds character to the meme-machine.

It looks like surface contamination to me, which can happen when iron or non-stainless steel gets embedded into the surface of the stainless through abrasive action, like scrubbing a stainless sink with steel wool, or as some people have stipulated, iron dust from the rail carriers during transport.
