Stainless Cybertruck began to rust (3 photos)
Earlier this year, Tesla put the first “future” Cybertrucks on sale. The lucky owners of the shaitan-arba were assured that the body was made of super-duper stainless armored steel, which bullets from small arms, much less rust, would not take. Muschyna, take it, you won’t regret it.
In total, we managed to collect more than 2 million applications from those wishing to purchase a Cybertruck. Well, the cars themselves began to slowly appear on US roads.
And during the first weeks of operation, it became clear that unpainted metal still rusts from moisture.
However, the Tesla owner's manual states that Cybertruck owners must immediately remove any substances that could cause a corrosion reaction. This list includes grease, oil, bird droppings, tree sap, dead insects, tar stains, road salt and other substances.
Well, for those who don’t want to polish their “Swallow” non-stop, they offer to cover the car with a protective vinyl film; it costs from $5,000 to $6,500 depending on the color. This is despite the fact that the car itself costs around $80,000.
Tesla, after customer requests, admitted that the Cybertruck’s body stability is not unlimited.
Owners write that stains can appear on the body even just after rain on a parked car. And a couple of poor souls developed rust simply because the car was left on the street overnight.
