The largest issue with the Cybertruck is that its stainless steel body doesn’t have a clear coat, so there’s nothing to protect the body from dents, dings, scratches, and corrosive substances from immediately coming into contact with the body. If things like rain, car washes, bugs, and pine tar need to be cleaned off immediately and regularly, road salt, rocks, and debris from off-roading will surely wreak havoc on the truck’s body.

People are beginning to post Cybertruck’s rusting exterior onto the internet.

It hasn’t been more than a few months for these units and the speckles of Rust are already beginning to form. I’m guessing from road salt + moisture + winter in general. But who knew that steel could possibly rust?

    It was never noticed in development because Elon fired all the rust.
