Tesla Cybertruck rusted just after picking it up? It has not yet entered the Chinese market

Before it was launched in China, Tesla's cybertruck quality control exploded.

Recently, some overseas netizens posted that the Tesla Cybertruck they bought was rusty within a few days of picking up the car.

Subsequently, another netizen also posted that a few days after his Tesla Cybertruck picked up the car, rust spots appeared on the body after the rain. It can be seen from the ** that there are indeed many corrosion spots on the surface of the car's body.

Subsequently, the netizen went to Tesla's after-sales service, but Tesla's after-sales staff said that this warranty needs to go through the process, and the staff did not bring repair tools, and said that Tesla had not dealt with such repair work before. Eventually, the staff recorded the situation and said, "I'll come back for maintenance next month when I get the tools." ”

In response to these "quality problems", Tesla also responded quickly, and its director of engineering & chief engineer of Cybertruck, Wes Morrill, responded: stainless steel is active, and the free iron on it will rust, but this is only a surface contamination and can be easily removed.

At the same time, Tesla also gave a solution, "Use detergent for decontamination." ”

For Tesla's official statement, car owners don't buy it, after all, this is really a new car. Owners said the Tesla Cybertruck had only traveled 381 miles, and it took only 11 days from the time it was picked up to the time it was found to be rusty, and most of the time it was parked in front of their homes, probably because of the cold weather, rain, and direct sunlight to form orange rust spots.

Moreover, sharp-eyed netizens also found that Tesla did not use a clear coating when processing the stainless steel body of the Cybertruck, which made it very uncomfortable for car owners to post-process, and they could only use polishing.

In fact, the reason why car owners reacted so much is that they have too high expectations for the Tesla Cybertruck.

In addition, Tesla's official publicity said that the Cybertruck uses a stainless steel body and will not be painted in any way, and the body glass can resist the impact of a baseball or a level 4 hail at 70 miles per hour. But this time it was planted on rust, and it can only be said that the quality control is really not up to par.

In this regard, many netizens said that fortunately, Tesla's model has not been officially introduced into China for sale, otherwise it is basically a certainty that the "315" will be on the table.

Tesla had previously planned to introduce this to China in the future, and has already given the Chinese name - Tesla Cyber off-road tourer.

On January 28 last year, Tesla's new car was unveiled in eight cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Now that the quality control is thunderous, I believe that many potential users and fans are secretly happy: this time they have saved money.
