Should we be afraid of rain?

The Tesla Cybertruck, known for its stainless steel exterior, is currently battling corrosion issues that cast a shadow over the quality of the material used. Several owners of electric cars reported appearance of rust on the body only after a few days of being in the rain..
Images shared online by the owners show persistent signs of corrosion even after washing. Will, the owner of Cybertruck, also shared his experience in a dedicated forum Dailymailindicating that he purchased his vehicle on February 1 and noticed signs of corrosion only after 11 days of use. When he tried to repair his car, the Tesla center said they didn’t have the right tools and it took a month to get them!
Stainless steel is said to be generally rust-resistant, but can still corrode under certain conditions, such as prolonged exposure to salt water, heat, or harsh chemicals. However, owners say their vehicles have only been exposed to the elements for a few days, which calls into question the durability of the electric pickup’s stainless steel.

Is the solution already found?

Some homeowners have reported that using a clay bar has helped remove rust. This would be one of the solutions that Cybertruck owners will have to consider in order to get their beast’s body back to its full glory. Although Elon Musk mentioned the possibility of using a tungsten carbide coating for corrosion protection, this option remains unavailable at this time. In addition, as you can imagine, you will have to pay a little money to treat your car.
In any case, owners have the right to raise concerns about the quality of the stainless steel used for the exterior of the Cybertruck. Tesla needs to address these issues to maintain the Cybertruck’s reputation.

It would hurt him if the pickup got bad press, even though it’s not yet sold in all markets.
