lol what. Without a clear coat or some protective coating, all metal will corrode over time and 100x faster near the ocean. Even marine-grade 316 stainless stee

- kube-system 3y agoNot that it is the case here (it almost certainly isn't), but not all corrosion is 'bad'. Some steels are designed to form a protective layer of corrosion and then stop corroding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering_steel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weathering_steel If Tesla really wanted to stick to the cyberpunk theme, they should have chosen COR-TEN :)
- dzhiurgis 3y agoMarine stainless generally doesn't corrode if it remains dry. Otherwise boats would be near impossible.
