Despite the recent release of these Tesla EVs — and the little road time they’ve been subjected to — Cybertrucks are already developing imperfections on their body panels, leading owners to debate what’s causing the early signs of rust on forums. From Futurism:

One Cybertruck Owners Club forum member says they started noticing small orange flecks appearing on his truck after driving it in the rain for just two days.

“Just picked up my Cybertruck today,” they wrote. “The advisor specifically mentioned the cybertrucks develop orange rust marks in the rain and that required the vehicle to be buffed out.”

The Cybertruck owner posted followup photos after washing the vehicle down with soap, and they didn’t inspire much confidence, showing body panels already pockmarked with small orange spots.

Blue the truck steel! It'd almost look really cool except for it still looking structurally dumb as shit!

The scammers always were here and always will be. The stupidity falling for it is the problem. It's all evolving so painfully slow.

I'm quite disappointed how rabid, mischievous and ill-wishing people have become. Really, what's going on here on lemmy?

Anyhoo, have a read at these two posts about owners having rust marks on their cars and how they are easily removed. They seem to be rusting particles from train transportation or other environmental stuff:

No, I don't own one and don't plan to.

That can’t be all it is though. All new cars have train rust debris. This isn’t a new phenomenon. If you care how your car looks, never let the dealer “wash” it and always have it professionally detailed immediately. Then add PPF while it’s still mint

Yeah sometimes you can tell people were waiting for a negative article to justify their personal opinion. Even if it's a low effort slightly misleading article people are just too excited to say they were right to actually look deeper than the surface level 😮‍💨
