"Weathered steel" was all the rage on brand new buildings a few years ago, why not on a "truck"? 😏
Wait, inflammable means flammable?
It can mean either flammable or not flammable (although the latter meaning is less common and it's often prescribed not to use it). You have Latin to thank for the confusion between "in-" for "in/on/within" as in "incinerate" or "involve" or "imbue", and "in-" for "not" as in "incapable" or "imbalance" or "individual"/"indivisible".
Although in English the word "flammable" actually originated from removing the "in-" from "inflammable", specifically for the purpose of avoiding confusion with "non-flammable". I guess that happened enough for "flammable" to become the common one. Ha!
Generally though "inflammable" still means the same as "flammable" if it's on a label or something. You could use "unflammable" to mean non-flammable to remove any ambiguity.
Imagine a world where we say "flammatory" and "unflammatory" instead of "inflammatory" and "non-inflammatory"...

Man, who would have thought that it would be garbage
I would like to see some pictures. It's hard to judge what the magnitude of the problem is without seeing.

Had this issue with kitchen knives; having the components properly mixed is apparently hard. At least that's what the supporter said, he said nothing to the life-long warranty.

Shoulda paid the extra 6 grand for the paint.
Half the joke is how the paint also corrodes the metal, just from the underside so it isn't quite as obvious until it starts flaking off in big chunks.

idk if there's any other slobs here but stainless still will absolutely rust in certain conditions. Its usually easy to clean but sometimes difficult to remove.
These vehicles will 100% rust and will probably permanently discolor with prolonged exposure to certain acids.
How did they not foresee this? I mean, leave a body panel out for a few months and see what happens to it.
It really depends on the type of stainless. My stainless grill which I leave out in the elements year round has not rusted, it's made of 304 stainless which is corrosion resistant but not as much at Marine grade 316. There are thousands of slightly different alloys under the stainless umbrella some are better than others as far as rust goes.
Many manufacturers use ferritic types of stainless as sheets can be moved with magnets, many of these are cheaper and less corrosion resistant.

In b4 elon musks dicksuckers say they like the look and want it to rust.
They already did, in the article.
Others are in favor of their Cybertrucks developing orange stains, saying that they’re looking forward to the patina the stainless steel may develop.
It's called "stainless" because you can remove the rust without leaving stains. Where's the problem? Just rub down your useless, horribly expensive pile of crap with steel wool every few days. And oil it. There are several kinds of"stainless" steel, too. We can safely assume, they took the cheapest. Ah the 2020s, the apex decade of scams. And like always, the scammers are not the problem, they were here at any time and they will be. The stupidity that falls for it is. Is all evolving so painfully slow...

I assumed they'd be clear coated, expect that to be a big aftermarket service.
Lol. Musk keeps showing that he's a moron and if you're still a fan of Tesla and buying their cars then it's on you for throwing your money away.
