CEO Elon Musk first unveiled the electric pickup model back in 2019, claiming that its “ultra-hard stainless steel” body and “transparent metal” glass were “literally bulletproof.”
Though beset with production issues and missing its speculative 2021-22 release, its unique polygonal design – as with anything Tesla and Musk-related – attracted legions of devotees eager to get their hands on the steering wheel.
Members pondered whether orange stains could be caused by “rail dust” from certain vehicles being delivered via train, yet Raxar posted some images of his Cybertruck’s body after driving it for “2 days in rain.”
In a separate thread, another user, vertigo3pc, reported that “corrosion was forming on the metal” of his brand-new Cybertruck after 11 days in the “LA rain,” leading some to worry that the steel body was becoming contaminated during production.
The documentation says: "To prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.).
The Register asked Tesla whether it agreed with the description of Cybertruck corrosion as the “norm,” and if not, what the company expected to cause the spots documented.
