The Tesla Cybertruck, a symbol of futuristic car design and durability, has encountered an unexpected obstacle that has caused a sensation among car owners. Despite its bold stainless steel exterior, some car owners have reported an unexpected issue: rusting. Yes, you read it right – there is rust on the stainless steel. The promise of Cybertruck’s sturdy and corrosion-resistant appearance seems to be facing its first real-world test, and the results are a bit rusty.
Rust Issues of Cybertruck Appearing Shortly after Purchase
Car owners have expressed their concerns on social media platforms and forums such as Cybertruckownersclub, sharing photos of their vehicles with orange rust that appears after just being exposed to the rain. A car owner named Raxar reported that within two days of driving their new Cybertruck in the rain, tiny orange spots began to appear on the surface. This is a surprise, especially since this car has just hit the road and was expected to be more resilient.
However, the sensitivity of Cybertrucks to corrosion is not a secret. Tesla’s own manual acknowledges that the exterior of the car may be damaged by various substances, including grease, oil, bird droppings, and even resin. The recommended action plan is to immediately clean with denatured alcohol, then rinse with water and non-detergent soap. But the question still remains: does a car that sells for durability require such immediate and specific care to maintain its appearance?
It is particularly noteworthy that rust appeared shortly after purchase. California is a state not known for its harsh winters or excessively salty roads, and car owners didn’t expect corrosion to occur so quickly. This has raised concerns about the performance of Cybertrucks in more demanding environments, where conditions could be even harsher.
Debates and Hopes among Homeowners
Despite being disheartening, some homeowners have found a glimmer of hope, or rather, a rust-free hope. There are reports that household products such as Bar Keepers Friend and Windex can be used to remove rust and restore the shine of vehicles. This suggests that the problem may be more superficial rather than structural, but it is still troublesome for new owners.
The debate among the homeowners is intense. Some people believe that rusting may be caused by other factors, such as carbon dust or pollutants during the manufacturing process. Others are frustrated with the additional cost of protecting steel plates, as Tesla’s packaging services are not entirely affordable for everyone.
It has been proven that the stainless steel panels of Cybertruck are not affected by the laws of chemistry. Stainless steel, despite its name, is not free from contamination and corrosion; It’s just resistance. The type of steel used and the additives involved in its production determine its elasticity. It seems that Tesla may have chosen a lower resistance stainless steel variant for the Cybertruck, which requires careful maintenance to prevent corrosion.
As Cybertrucks continue to roll off the production line and fall into the hands of eager car owners, the true test of their durability will be how they withstand various factors over time. At present, car owners are both disappointed and hopeful – disappointed with the unexpected maintenance and hoping that their future trucks will live up to expectations in the long run. Only time can prove whether the stainless steel of Cybertruck can withstand the test of time, or whether it will succumb to the orange rust spots that have begun to damage its future appearance.
