A Tesla Cybertruck owner says there is a concerted effort to publicly shame people who drive the all-electric truck. He recounts several instances where people pointed and laughed at him while driving his Cybertruck.
I’m not mad. If I come across that way, it wasn’t my intention.
I agree about the paint - the best way to prevent rust is to keep the steel from coming into contact with water in the first place. I’m not sure how well paint adheres to stainless steel, but if I were to get a Cybertruck, wrapping it would seem like the obvious thing to do, which is what many people do with new, expensive cars anyway. Another advantage the Cybertruck has over other vehicles is that its steel is much thicker, so it’s not only less likely to dent, but it would also take much longer to rust through, even if it were made of normal steel.
I’m not saying that you are, but many people get overly emotional about this vehicle because of its controversial CEO, and I feel it’s getting a bit of unfair treatment as a result. I don’t think there’s a vehicle on the planet that would pass this level of scrutiny without criticism. Just yesterday, I watched a video of a $700k brand new Lamborghini that was never driven or washed, needing extensive paint correction due to poor quality finish straight from the factory. It seems indefensible for a vehicle of that price, but it is what it is.
