As Tesla's first pure electric pickup truck, the Tesla Cybertruck has received a lot of attention from consumers before and after its launch. Before the car was officially launched, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had shot the Tesla Cybertruck with a gun, leaving bullet marks on the car's body but not penetrating. Since then, news about Tesla's Cybertruck being bulletproof has also come out frequently.
However, recently, many overseas owners of Tesla's Cybertruck have complained on the Internet that the new car that has just been mentioned has rust spots after being drenched in the rain. The stainless steel body of the Tesla Cybertruck, which can block bullets, is a bit surprising that there are rust spots. According to Will, the owner of the Tesla CyberTruck, who has just picked up the car, posted on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum that he mentioned the Tesla AWD Cybertruck on February 1, and 11 days after picking up the car, he found that the car was rusty and had driven the car for 381 miles.
According to the owner, he was driving a Tesla Cybertruck in Los Angeles, USA, when it was raining. When he found rust on the body of the Tesla Cybertruck, he sent the car to a car wash to be cleaned in order to confirm whether the marks were dirt or rust, and finally confirmed that the stains were rust.
In addition to Will, there is also a Tesla cybertruck owner, Max, who has the same experience. According to Max, he mentioned his car in California on Feb. 1 and drove it to Sacramento in heavy rain that day. After completing more than 2 hours of driving, the owner noticed a bunch of small orange spots on the body of the new car. Musk said: "The orange stain is not big, but it is very noticeable on the silver body. I was clearly told that the car had orange rust after the rain and needed to be polished. ”
According to foreign media reports, an owner said: "I am worried about the rust on the body of the Tesla Cybertruck, and I will claim $80,000 for this." At this time, Tesla has not responded to this claim.
It should be pointed out that, according to Tesla's official introduction, the Tesla Cybertruck uses a stainless steel body and will not be painted in any way. According to Musk's previous introduction, the body of the Tesla Cybertruck is made of an ultra-hard 30x cold-rolled stainless steel material specially developed for the "Mars spacecraft", which can resist high-speed impacts and punctures. Some netizens found that according to Tesla's user manual, "the stainless steel body of the Cybertruck does not have a clear coating, and it can only be cleaned by polishing for the affected owners." ”
On February 17, the official account of the Cybertruck ** Tesla's chief engineer of the CyberTruck, Wes Morrill, responded to the rust on the body of the Cybertruck. "Stainless steel is reactive, and the free iron on it reacts with oxygen ions in the water to form oxides and rust," says Wes Morrill. But this is only surface contamination that can be easily removed. He also recommends a variety of cleaning agent brands such as Bar Keeper"S Friend, Citrisurf77, and Scotch Brite, etc. ”
According to Che, the Tesla Cybertruck is currently only sold in overseas markets, with a price range of $60,990-$99,900. As for the Chinese market, Tesla has not opened sales of the Tesla Cybertruck for the time being. The reason behind this situation is related to factors such as the restriction of pickup truck models in China, and the Cybertruck will not enter the Chinese market in the short term due to factors such as production capacity and regulations.
Musk has also said: "It is difficult for the Tesla Cybertruck to be legally on the road in China". However, Tesla has already shipped some of its new Tesla Cybertrucks to the Chinese market, and on January 28 this year, it was unveiled in eight cities, including Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen and Chengdu. It is foreseeable that Tesla's sales in the global market will be further increased with the successive deliveries of Tesla's cybertruck.
