It gets rusty real quick if you use non-stainless steel.
- Dobbs 3y agoThat is odd, never really seen rust on any of the non-stainless steal cars I encounter in my day to day life. Not unless they are really old and damaged in significantly other ways.
- orwin 3y agoNew cars are not in steel, but in aluminum, which does not rust (hence why metallic boat parts are in aluminum).
- Dobbs 3y agoThat was my point. Most cars don't have this issue because they use materials that don't rust as is. Why is Tesla choosing to use something that is hard to work with.
- mminer237 3y agoI mean, the obvious alternative would be to use aluminum, which doesn't rust at all and has twice the strength-to-weight ratio.
- solardev 3y agoYes, I know, it was just a poor joke :/
- prometheus76 3y agoStainless is extremely prone to rust when exposed to salt (i.e. near an ocean, or worse, on salted roads in the winter time.)
