I know from personal experience that some types of stainless steel will develop rust spots under certain circumstances - I have some stainless steel table knives that will rust in the dishwasher, and a couple of stainless steel soap dispensers that rusted through entirely, so this doesn't surprise me a lot.

The real question I have is, is this thing actually supposed to be a serious vehicle that you can drive around and keep outside and expect it not to rust/fall apart/whatever? It doesn't seem to be very well-designed, I just sort of assumed it was a meme product like the Boring Company flamethrower that they were selling a few years back. Something that you buy because you have a lot of disposable money and want to show other people you're in on the joke, that's not supposed to really be used for whatever thing it ostensibly does. It seems like if it was supposed to be a real truck, it would be, well, good.



The CyberTruck is what a person who has never done real work with a truck imagines a truck should be.

Trying to pick up exactly one standard-size bag of cement mix out of the bed from the side would have told them that their design was flawed.


The vast majority of trucks are used as trucks about as often as my hatchback is.


This is also true.


Pay a visit to the cybertruck subreddit - it’ll explain a lot


They poured a lot of engineering resources in it. And it has some interesting stuff. But, yes, I am not sure how they expected this to be a wide success.
