    I saw a black cyber truck this weekend. My wife and I both laughed. Mate, you can’t make it invisible by painting it black.

    Such a hideous vehicle.

      No no, they are not trying to make it invisible, Cybertrunk buyers wants the attention it provides, good or bad. The wrap is probably for rust and looks.

          Unfortunately for Tesla saltwater can still corrode many forms of stainless steel. And the roads in many places get covered in salt and water.

          It will probably still hold up better than a carbon steel body panel with compromised paint, so I wouldn’t expect the panels to just rust through anytime soon. But I would expect some discoloring and pitting.

            Frankly, the cybertruck rust is 100% inexcusable. Elon Musk is absolutely incompetent compared to John Delorean, who managed to pick the right stainless steel alloy even while being distracted by both the Troubles and cocaine smuggling.
