Owners say they are noticing orange stains on the stainless steel panels of their new Cybertrucks.

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.

    I’m quite disappointed how rabid, mischievous and ill-wishing people have become.

    I thought the way you do, but now my opinion is that people have always been like that. The internet just exposes you to more of it, so it seems like some new behavioral tendency.

    There wasn’t some golden age of core decency found in social discourse, ever.

      Having had access to the internet since 1986 before The Web was a thing, I would agree with this sentiment. There were some awful takes that you’d run into back then, they just didn’t have the exposure to the public they do now.
