Others are in favor of their Cybertrucks developing orange stains, saying that theyโre looking forward to the patina the stainless steel may develop.
LOL - that's some straight up ๐คก shit.

High on copeium.
When does the Cybertruck: limited COR-TENยฎ Steel edition come out?
I'm thinking that would actually appeal to some folks as a Mad Max sort of aesthetic.
After the Cybertruck aluminum and cardboard edition. For that derelique fashion
Hey Cybertruck, you can derelique my balls!
gottem
I fucking love patina on vehicles so much. This is definitely clown shit but point me towards a vehicle with copper panels and you can take all my money.
Ooh, that sounds hot as hell.
Make it yourself!
Maybe rivet pennies like scalemail on an existing car
Rust can look great!
I doubt these will age well at all though
My Metalbird is developing a patina that looks a lot like rust. Apparently that's intentional and temporary but we'll see. I only paid $60 not $100,000 so I'm not as upset as I imagine these people are.
To be fair, a patina of rust will make it easier to imagine oneself as some kind of grimdark postapocalyptic warlord or something.
In particular, oil and acidic soiling, such as tar or bird droppings, should be cleaned immediately with an alcohol-based solvent. Immediately afterwards, rinsing with clear water or a pH-adjusted soap is recommended. This type of cleaning should be necessary after every longer ride.
Nah.
Next thing it'll demand you feed it nuclear pellets
Immediately imagine myself pouring a little bit of nuclear orbs into the front like I'm feeding a small animal.
"Here you go little buddy, eat up.."
You mean next to the weekly sacrifice of virgin blood and ritual singing? This thing is expensive!
Imagine having to do a systematic car wash after every weekly grocery trip lmao

Uh.... they're Stainless not Rust-less, duh.
Maybe it's stain less... it stains less, but it still stains.
For a couple years I worked at a company that mainly sold fasteners. Think nuts and bolts for residential, commercial and industrial use. They came in different grades (strength), materials and coatings based on usage (for example indoor or outdoor use).
I was told by other sales associates that "stain less" was more accurate than "stainless." The reason being that if you expose stainless steel to water long enough, it will rust. However, it will take significantly longer to stain/rust compared to plain steel.
You want to use stainless steel in places where things will come into contact with water but not in situations where it will be submerged in water or exposed to the elements for long periods of time.
Your joke was pretty much how I was taught about stainless fasteners.
Sadly, no amount of money can teach a billionaire such simple things.
"it stains less than cast iron dipped in pig guts"

Anyone who's worked with stainless could have told you that would happen ๐คท
About the same level of quality as their software, it seems.
Never buy the first version of anything, especially something from musk.

Don't you mean ๐ฉ?
Quabbity Assuance lives rent free in my head.
So you have to treat it like a mogwai?
What if they covered the metal in some sort of protective coating? Perhaps even a colored waterproof coating. I think I heard of something like that once. It's called paint.
They bought their stainless from the bargain bin...
I guess it's safe to say the stainless steel is not marine grade 316.
