Now lets be fair!

Important of note for anyone planning to colonize Venus or Mercury!

I mean, Jeeps are at least painted.

*that doesn’t have moisture

Of course Tesla does extensive testing. That’s what their customers are doing now.

HELPS TO REDUCE

But not as fast as a British roadster.

Because they are a tech company that is full of overconfident bros that thing experts are lame and the other companies are actual car companies test their products and have decades of experience and expertise????

So, like a lemon?

“test-ing...? What is this word???”

I’m guessing this issue became obvious during the development of the Cybertruck, and that’s why Tesla suddenly got in the business of selling wraps.

Its almost as if,... bare steel may have been a poor choice for an automobile finish?

Ok he may have cheaped out on the stainless steel here, but when the time comes to go to Mars I’m sure he’ll use nothing but the best materials.

(the most unnecessary /s ever)

Finicky and sensitive to getting wet. Just what you want from a PICKUP TRUCK.

Material Scientist & Engineer / metallurgist here. Tesla is using a custom cold rolled 300 series stainless steel, so similar to type 304 and 316 austenitic stainless steel. Marketing name “ultra-hard 30X”.

Faster than a 2000's Mazda

I guess Trace will be upgrading his fleet at some point, then?

How did Tesla start selling these without testing this? Every vehicle I know of spends time in an accelerated corrosion environment before being sold to customers.

DURABLE AND RUGGED ENOUGH TO GO ANYWHERE.

Its right there in the name: StainLESS steel. Not StainPROOF steel.
