Well, from the article it seems that Tesla is aware of this. > Just picked up my Cybertruck today. The advisor specifically mentioned the cybertrucks develop orange rust marks in the rain and that required the vehicle to be buffed out. I know I heard the story of never take out your Delorean in the rain but I just never read anything about rust and Cybertrucks. I honestly can't imagine what they were thinking, shipping this turkey.

They were thinking the guy at the top is a rockstar and everything he says must be correct; otherwise, the board wouldn't have approved his insane pay package... right?

  I was told by someone on this very board that Tesla attracts the best automotive engineers and designers, because they don't have the bureaucracy and red tape that increases go-to-market time.

    Customers: The ultimate QA department. Most of 'em won't even report the issues back. No reports, no issues!

> I honestly can't imagine what they were thinking, shipping this turkey. What's bizarre is they could've just clear coated it. They surely didn't omit this to save costs, since the thing is a luxury item. The only answer I can imagine is that omitting the clearcoat was supposed to be a flex about how it doesn't need any lame paint like the plebe cars use, which makes it especially funny if you have to go in for routine buffing to remove the discoloration and get it back to its original appearance.

  They offer the clear coat for several thousand dollars extra, so it seems to have been to save costs.
