Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-02-18

A few days ago, an overseas netizen posted an article breaking the news that the Tesla Cybertruck he bought had a rust problem within a few days of picking up the car. In response to this problem, Wes Morrill, director of engineering at Tesla & chief engineer at Cybertruck, responded to this problem. Wes Morrill said: Stainless steel is active, and the free iron on it will rust, but this is only a surface contamination that can be easily removed. At the same time, it also provides solutions, including the use of detergents for decontamination. Wes Morrill points out that the use of "bar keeper's friend" works great; The cleaner brand Citrisurf77 can also loosen the deposit, just wipe it down. If you have more visible dirt, you can use a blue scratch-resistant cleaner brand scotch brite pad, which will not leave any marks on the metal.

Previously, an overseas netizen posted that a few days after picking up the Tesla Cybertruck he bought, 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. The netizen said that on February 1 this year, a Tesla cybertruck was mentioned, and it was a rainy day in Los Angeles at that time, and the metal body had initially corroded after the rain, so he recorded the whole process, hoping to ensure that his car could be processed within the warranty period, and made an appointment for warranty service. During this period, the netizen also tried to clean the exterior of the body to confirm whether the spots were rust or dirt. However, 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." ”

But the owner disagreed, saying he drove the cybertruck for only 381 miles, and it took only 11 days from the time the car was picked up to the time it was found to be rusty, and most of the time it was parked in front of his house, probably because of the cold weather, rain and direct sunlight. Some netizens also found that the stainless steel body of the Cybertruck does not have a clear coating, and it can only be cleaned by polishing for the affected car owners.

The Cybertruck, Tesla's first electric pickup truck, was unveiled at its Los Angeles headquarters on November 22, 2019. Officials have said that the car has 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 70-mile-per-hour baseball or a level 4 hailstone.

As Tesla's first electric pickup truck, the Tesla Cybertruck is quite popular around the world. As early as 2019, only a week after the car was unveiled, officials said that the number of orders exceeded 250,000 units. But unfortunately, it was not until the end of last year that the car began to be delivered to consumers.

In December last year, the first batch of deliveries of Cybertruck started at the Texas Gigafactory in the United States, and officially announced that the starting price without discounts was 60,990 US dollars (equivalent to 43 yuan).50,000 US dollars (about 57 yuan.)10,000 US dollars (about RMB 71.)40,000 yuan), while the cheapest rear-wheel drive version will not be delivered until 2025.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk believes that Tesla has the ability to deliver about 250,000 Cybertrucks in a year, but in Tesla's recent financial report, it was officially disclosed that the annual production capacity of Cybertruck pickup trucks at the Gigafactory in Texas is less than 1250,000 units. At the time, Tesla said it expected the Cybertruck to ramp up production for a longer period than other models, given the complexity of its manufacturing.

On January 28 this year, Tesla's cybertruck off-road wagon (cybertruck) was unveiled in the Chinese market, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other 8 cities at the same time to open the domestic tour, but limited by production capacity, regulations and other factors, the car can not be introduced into the Chinese market in a short period of time, and it is still unknown whether the car can enter the Chinese market in the future.
