Here you go[0], again the notice is still common even if as you said it would be a disaster if the vehicule actually rusts without a crazy amount of cleaning that no one would actually do.
And this is likely not the stainless itself rusting but environmental contamination (rust from railings etc). I'm not saying that because of the vehicule, but based purely on how this grade of stainless usually behaves. Stainless can rust, but this is pretty fast and the stain is a bit weird. Unless Tesla lied about the stainless steel grade, which is another can of worms.
Now I'm a bit curious, I might ask the actual rust formation experts I work with to confirm (I work on non destructive testing devices which involves a lot of... rust haha. Though I'm not specialized in that specific type of detection). I might be wrong on this, but if if I am it would really be a huge blunder from Tesla.

- bamboozled 3y agoI know that is in the manual of ever car and I know from experience that parking under trees etc isn't great for a car, but as I said, I've never had my car "rust" because of it and the cars I'm driving generally aren't considered to be "tuff trucks".
- mardifoufs 3y agoOh I completely agree. If it turns out to be actual body rust, yes that's a disaster and them putting the notice in the manual doesn't make it any better.
