Video: Man Buys Tesla Cybertruck and Reports Body Area Started to Rust (Photo: Facebook)
A man who has one Tesla Cybertruck shared a video to show that the vehicle’s body began to rust.
The case was brought by the content creator Molesrcool analyzed in a video on his Facebook page. According to him, this type of rust occurs when the car comes into contact with magnets.
“Many of these rust stains are caused by attaching magnets to the cars and they are very difficult to remove, [wenn man sie überhaupt entfernen kann]said Molesrcool in the clip.
“This is not what you want your car to look like less than a year after you bought it. I can’t imagine what will happen to those who live in cold climates where there is a lot of salt on the roads.”
Although the bodies of the Tesla Cybertruck Being described as “rust resistant” does not mean that they are “rustproof”. Under certain conditions they can still develop corrosion or stains on the surface.
This can be caused by pollution, road salt, or even iron particles from magnets that leave stubborn orange rust stains.
There was a discussion in the comments about the magnetization of stainless steel and the material that Tesla in the production of the Cybertruck used, initiated.
“I thought magnets didn’t stick to stainless steel,” one Facebook user commented. In the replies, some netizens emphasized that low-quality stainless steel may actually have magnetic properties.
Others noted that different types of stainless steel react differently to magnets, while some debated whether non-magnetic stainless steel can easily become magnetic after forming and stamping.
Tesla explained that the Cybertruck uses a cold-worked stainless steel alloy similar to that used in the rockets of SpaceX is used. These alloys are strong and resistant to corrosion, but are not immune to color changes.
While treating rust on traditional cars usually requires painting, this is the case with Cybertruck simply not possible. Therefore, the best advice in this case is to act preventatively.
Preventive measures include regular washing, avoiding contact with magnets on the bodywork and using protective coatings to protect the delicate metal parts from contamination.
If you want to go one step further, you could also consider installing a protective film to offer the car even better protection.
