If you scratch it, no problem, it's steel all the way down. Most other cars seem to require a paint job in order to protect the car from the elements, which means if you scratch and don't repair you'll get rust. I would assume this will be less of an issue with stainless steel.
It's strong enough that you can hypothetically use the body for all your structural needs, and therefore don't need any sort of chassis. An extension/continuation of what Tesla has been doing with their "structural battery packs".
It won't dent as easily.
You can drive and park like an asshole and worry less about being keyed.
It looks cool.

Scratched stainless steel can still rust once you've removed the chromium oxide protective layer. The protective layer can re-form as you remove the iron from the mix, but not over rust.
