The Cybertruck's steel exterior could need extra protection from winter road salt

New Tesla Cybertruck owners might want to wash winter road grime off their pickup as soon as possible to protect the truck's stainless steel frame.

Whats that saying about fools and their money again?

There's different grades of stainless steal and Tesla probably used the cheapest possible alloy.


Ferritic steels are among the least expensive forms of stainless steel. They have very low chromium levels, which means that they will usually accumulate a layer of localized surface rust over time. Environments that have saltwater present will also cause and accelerate corrosion.

Elon Musk probably said fukk what his engineers had to say and used this cheap shyt.

very positive of this.

Dude is a bozo.

Only reason he's even CEO is he was the front man for the money to fund the company.
