Tesla unveiled the highly anticipated Cybertruck last November, and while its features have garnered attention, complaints have begun to arise from users. These complaints suggest that the Tesla Cybertruck is rusting.
Is the Tesla Cybertruck rusting?
When Tesla CEO Elon Musk first introduced the electric pickup model in 2019, he claimed that its body was made of ultra-hard stainless steel and its windows were made of transparent metal, with a bulletproof structure. However, recent developments have raised doubts about the accuracy of these claims.
Some Tesla Cybertruck owners have begun to complain about orange spots appearing on the exterior of their electric vehicles, as seen in the image above. These orange spots are early signs of rust and corrosion, according to the users, who say that these spots appear after the vehicle has been exposed to rain.
A user claimed that when they received their Tesla Cybertruck, a company employee informed them that the vehicle could leave rust marks, especially when exposed to rain, and that polishing may be required. This has led to confusion among users.
Some users who commented on the photos shared by Cybertruck owners argued that the orange spots are not actually rust but rather sawdust or dust stains. However, the majority believed that it was indeed rust.
