Tesla's Cybertruck electric pickup truck is accused of being delicate and "growing" rust spots after driving in rainy weather

IT Home reported on February 14 that some Tesla Cybertruck owners reported that after the rain, orange rust spots appeared on the stainless steel body of this pure electric pickup truck, which looked very ugly.

Netizen Raxar posted on the cybertruckownersclub forum that he had been reminded when he picked up his car that day, and that rain could cause the vehicle to rust.

The netizen specifically mentioned that when picking up the car, the sales consultant said that the Cybertruck had orange rust marks after a rainy day and the vehicle needed to be polished. But I didn't take it to heart at the time, and I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until the orange rust spots appeared.

Raxar said that after spending 2 days outdoors in rainy conditions, the Cybertruck developed orange rust spots, which were still visible after washing with dish soap.

According to metal supplier Mead Metals, stainless steel is prone to rust in certain environments. Rust is usually due to exposure to water, but it can also be due to "exposure to damaging chemicals, salt water, grease or prolonged exposure to heat," the company said in a blog post.

Tesla owners also said that the staff at the service center recorded the corrosion and that they would contact the owner next month to make repairs once they had the right tools.

Vertigo3pc, a member of the forum, said that some of the affected owners have already taken the Cybertruck to a service center for inspection.

Vertigo3pc also released some images that they called corrosion spots on the Cybertruck, adding: "These spots are definitely everywhere in the Cybertruck".

Note: According to the user manual, the stainless steel body of the Cybertrucks does not have a clear coat and can only be cleaned by polishing for affected owners.
