Imagine having to teach your friends and family not to touch your car or it’ll rust.

They’re doing that to avoid leaving greasy fingerprints on the doors. If it had door handles this wouldn’t be an issue.

Ton of people spreading misinformation about Cybertrucks rusting. It’s not the body panels that rust, it’s the iron particles in the air (called fallout) that land on the panels and react with the stainless steel causing rust to form but it’s just surface contamination that’s cleans off easily. It has to be cleaned from other vehicles as well but it doesn’t form rust because it doesn’t contact the metal panels due to paint and clearcoat. It’s not a non-issue but claiming water makes it rust is dishonest. It’s not water that’s the issue. It’s iron, mostly from brake dust.
