It's just fallout (iron particles primarily from brake dust) stuck to the panels, not the panels themselves that are rusting. Easy to remove with a wipe of fallout remover e.g. IronX or Bilt Hamber Korrosol. Spray any white car with fallout remover and you'll see the iron particles light up like a purple Christmas tree.

Sorry, no, it IS rusting. Just extremly slow. Its made from martensitic steel, extremly hard but not chemical resistant or rust free.
Another great video. Hope all you're family are well and safe kind regards Mark
If I had the CT, I would never ever wash it. It could go 50 years like that and while it may look rusty, it could be restored anytime.
I would wrap it.
Stainless steel is naturally corrosion-resistant, but it’s certainly not immune to rust. While it is less prone to rusting than conventional steels, exposure to damaging chemicals, saline, grease, moisture, or heat for extended periods of time can cause corrosion.
Austenitic Stainless Steels (e.g., 304, 316, 321 grade) are all highly corrosion-resistant and often used in applications where corrosion is a seriously pressing concern.
I’m guessing the Cyber Truck uses a fairly low grade stainless; 316 and 321 grades would never show signs of corrosion this early on.
I’ve worked on yachts fitted with 316 grade stainless steel stanchions that have circumnavigated the planet, every one of looked as unblemished as the day they will fitted. When it comes to metals, quality is absolutely everything.
CT uses martensitic steel made in Austin from finnish austenitic steel inside the factory by cold pressing it multiple times.
Awesome video James Cook. I agree that hydrogen technology is no where near ready for transportation.
The rust is iron contaminates in the air. It's on everything. You just can't see it on most cars. Use a iron decontamination spray on your car. It will change color when it contacts iron. Best to completely clean the CyberTruck and then ceramic coat it.

It has passed pedestrian crash tests in the USA. Don’t you think the NHTSA has been over this? It has crumple zones and exploding bonnet hinges to soften the blow of a head hitting the bonnet
A lot of people confuse Chromium with chrome plating - two very different things. Advertisers take full advantage of this confusion.
Well, Tesla did develop a bespoke stainless steel recipe which should be quite corrosion resistant. We'll have to see and wait for time to pass to know how well they succeeded.
There are already rust and corrosion resistant grades of stainless steal perfected about 75 years ago.
@@hwirtwirt4500 Its made from martensitic steel, converted locally in Austin from finnish austenitic steel, extremly hard but not chemical resistant or rust free.
The Cyber Truck is a lot like The Hummer, Crocs and Artex ceilings…. In 5 years time you’ll cringe whenever you spot one.
Good, GOOD! I want 20 of those. I want all of you to cringe every time you see one and see my migthiness and gloriness!
Yes i think the rust problem has been put to bed on the cyber truck. All the big American trucks look like pedestrian killers to me, but doesn't the CT have automatic braking that will detect pedestrians throwing them into there paths?
Hydrogen isn't going to work for fuelling cars - true ...but of course as a conveninet very long storage medium for power stations when you have excess power from solar, wind...etc it may be well be viable against the cost of very large battery storage .
It all depends on grades of stainless steels - it isn't one thing - there are hundres of grades of varying expense and alloying fractions. If had been Nitronic 50 or austentic 316L it is unlikley that it would ever have rusted unless operating under most aggressive marine conditions (i.e. frequently in and out of seawater) - and even then far less likely. I doubt Tesla cybertruck is made of anything like these expensive alloys.
Forget the Cybertruck, what happened to The Roadster? Not that it's needed now that the MG Cyberster is coming
Roadster makes no sense with the Plaid. Maybe it comes maybe not. Even the Plaid makes no sense. Just like the Cyberster or the Ioniq5N or the Rimac. Big toys for rich boys.
its because lotus lost its safety exemption to make and sell the Elise in America in 2019, and he was going to use that as the base, figuring they would recertify or modify it to bring it in
It’s never going to get approved for sale in the UK or Europe.
Why not? Unimogs and Mercedes G are allowed and much more dangerous than the CT.
Stain- LESS, its still metal, and you have it exposed to the elements, and you have to look after it like anything else metal, with waxes polishes, cleaners and everything, including brushing, and flat out I'm surprised no ones ceramic coating the thing,
as this is all stuff delorean owners had to deal with back in the day, which is the appeal, its a throwback to what a futuristic truck would look like in the 80's
its not their fault for you misunderstanding the product, and most of what you think is that is really iron particles from something else, as theirs still steel involved
one just needs to look at those very shitty wheels to see that, and the brakes aint stainless now aint they?
and can be very easily cleaned using bar keepers friend and mothers mag polish, however that second one can result in it polishing away the grain, which then would have to be redone
and Alex from legit street cars went into it in detail on his delorean he intends to keep forever, and I use that stuff for polishing metal and getting the blemishes out
and actually used both on my sink, and it came out quite well given the corriosion, which isnt rust by the way, its iron from something else,
as stainless is a funny mistress, as its literally a metal with a Nickel additive mixed into its chemical compound, which results in the actual metal, being heavier than normal metal thanks to the nickel alloy compound they added to it
and its not bulletproof by any means, the only thing I think that is is probably carbon fiber, which has its own set of weaknesses such as finding grounds, much like fiberglass which can cause shorts given the metal weave
hence why the very first Senna's went up, yet I dont see you making videos on those, and those fiberglass kit cars that Mclaren sells that are literally bonded with 3M tape and some of the shoddiest paint work known to man that they charge well over 2 million quid for
although I cant complain, their atleast proper supercars, which you cant say for the german stuff coming out of italy with lambo badges on it
Stainless not stain proof 😊
Tesla stainless rusts.

Omg, please do your research first before vloging this. How don’t you know it won’t stay as shiny as new? Based on what?? Please research and give a ballanced opinion based on fact and not speculation
The CT IS rusting. And not stainLESS. It is MADE FROM stainless steel. Austenitic steel from Finland is converted to martensitic steel inside of Austin. It rusts slowly, is extremely hard but not chemical resistant or rust free.
