I think it’s because your kitchen sink and cookware aren’t regularly exposed to other corrosive elements that damage that a car left parked outside would be.
The article mentions this:
> Once the chromium oxide barrier is breached, corrosion takes hold. And caveat emptor, because Tesla's owner's manual advises promptly removing corrosive substances, emphasizing not to wait until the Cybertruck is scheduled for a "complete wash,”
I think kitchenware will eventually suffer from the same problems, but it’s just not exposed to the same level of wear and tear as a car, so you’ll see things rust after maybe 10+ years, versus <=1 like with CyberTrucks
- katbyte 3y agoPretty sure it’s more the steel grade in a cybertruck (301) is < the grade in most kitchen sinks (304)
- uticus 3y ago> it’s just not exposed to the same level of wear and tear as a car is it because the kitchenware is washed more regularly than a car would be? also, to add anecdotal evidence, I have some stainless, non-coated hardware on my deck, directly exposed for 18 months now, and there is zero rust. not trying to be contrary, just saying i have used stainless things but never experienced rust on them. either it's coming, or the stainless i have is somehow all better, or something else is up.
- Tagbert 3y agoI put a plastic item in a stainless steel bowl and added bleach. I left it for several days because I was trying to remove some persistent stains from the item. When I checked it, the bleach had corroded through the stainless steel. I would imagine that road salt stuck into seams would, over time, also corrode stainless steel. If there are small gaps, it can get in there and be hard to clean out. Just like getting food caught between your teeth and not flossing.
