      As useless as the Cybertruck is that paint job actually makes it look kinda good.

        Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder, because that thing still looks like a low poly piece of shit to me. I do have terrible taste in general though, so take that as you will

          It is definitely too low poly. The DMC-12 did it right. Then the Cyber truck tried to copy it without understanding why it worked aesthetically.

            I dare anyone to claim that the DeLorean didn’t look cool as all fuck (even without a flux capacitor)

        The standard colour is the colour of stainless steel, now stop being such a pedant.

          I know that Cybertruck rusting is a fun narrative but it’s also not true.

          Rust does indeed form on the surface of the body panels but it’s not the panels that are rusting. It’s the iron particles mostly from brake discs that are suspended in the air and land on the vehicle. These particles then react with the stainless steel causing rust to form. However this is just surface contamination which can be easily cleaned off. These same particles, called “fallout” get stuck to the paintjob of all cars and that’s why there are cleaning products specifically meant for getting rid of them. With other vehicles the rusting simply doesn’t occur due to the particles not making contact with metal because they have paint and clearcoat on them.

            christ, I feel like every time I hear anything new about brake particles, I wonder why we haven’t moved to some other material for them yet. ceramics, regenerative brakes that just charge a small battery or capacitor or something, that just exists on the wheel, fuckin something.

            It’s surface rust is you clean it off immediately. Those rust particles will cause the stainless itself to rust if left in the surface.
