A Tesla owner conducted a quick heat test comparing the temperature of a Cybertruck's stainless steel panels with painted Teslas parked nearby, finding that the Cybertruck registered a temperature of 106.1 F, similar to a white-painted Tesla, and cooler than the black and midnight silver metallic Teslas. The results suggest that the Cybertruck's steel body may not get dangerously hot under the sun, boding well for the all-electric pickup truck's exposure to outdoor elements.
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have identified tiny particles called "slags" as the culprits behind pitting corrosion in 3D-printed stainless steel 316L in seawater. These slags, produced during the 3D printing process, remain at the metal's surface and initiate pitting corrosion, allowing chloride-rich water to penetrate the steel and cause damage. By understanding the mechanisms behind this corrosion, the study paves the way for developing improved materials and manufacturing techniques to create stainless steel components that are highly resistant to the corrosive forces of seawater, with implications extending beyond marine applications.

Cybertruck engineer Wes Morrill addressed concerns about the EV developing rust spots in the rain, attributing the orange specks to surface contamination rather than the stainless steel body. Some owners have complained about rust spots on their new Cybertrucks, with one claiming to have been warned about potential rusting upon delivery. Morrill advised using Bar Keeper's Friend or Citrisurf 77 to address the issue, while YouTuber Justin Demaree suggested similar methods. Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared to confirm Morrill's comments, and the issue seems to be related to metal particles collecting during transportation or manufacturing.
Tesla Cybertruck owners have reported seeing small orange specks of oxidation on their vehicles, which can be easily cleaned with solutions like Bar Keeper’s Friend. Tesla’s lead Cybertruck engineer, Wes Morrill, and CEO Elon Musk have affirmed that the stainless steel can be buffed to remove scratches and surface marks. Tesla Design Chief Franz von Holzhausen also discussed scratch removal on the Cybertruck, emphasizing the durability of the stainless steel finish. The company has developed a process for owners to buff out scratches and return the stainless steel to its original finish.
Some Tesla Cybertruck owners are reporting early signs of rust and corrosion on the stainless steel panels of their EVs, with orange stains appearing after minimal exposure to rain. Debate rages on forums about the cause of the discoloration, with some attributing it to carbon dust or contaminants. The stainless steel construction has proven to be a headache for both Elon Musk and early adopters, as the Cybertruck manual confirms its susceptibility to corrosive substances. Tesla's cleaning recommendations suggest immediate cleaning after exposure to oil and acidic soiling, but some owners are frustrated by the additional cost of protecting the steel panels.
Despite being made of stainless steel, Tesla Cybertrucks are showing early signs of rust and corrosion, with owners reporting orange stains on the exterior panels after minimal exposure to rain. Debate rages on the cause, with some attributing it to contaminants while others point to the steel's susceptibility to staining. The Cybertruck's stainless steel construction has proven to be a headache for both Tesla and early adopters, with the manual confirming its susceptibility to corrosive substances. Cleaning recommendations suggest immediate cleaning after exposure to certain elements, leading to frustration among owners who feel additional protection options are costly.
Some Tesla Cybertruck owners are reporting rust spots on the stainless-steel body after exposure to rain, despite Elon Musk's claims of its durability. Forum posts and images show small orange rust marks, prompting concerns about the vehicle's resistance to corrosion. Tesla has not yet publicly shared the owner's manual, but it reportedly advises immediate removal of corrosive substances to prevent damage to the exterior. Elon Musk previously mentioned the possibility of offering a tungsten carbide coating to protect against corrosion.
Tesla's highly anticipated Cybertruck, known for its stainless steel exoskeleton, is already showing signs of rust just months after delivery, prompting concerns among owners. Some users have reported orange rust marks appearing after minimal exposure to rain, leading to debates about the cause and potential solutions. While Tesla's owner's manual acknowledges the possibility of corrosion and outlines maintenance requirements, the use of stainless steel for a rugged workhorse vehicle has raised questions. Owners are exploring various cleaning methods and considering options like vehicle wrapping to address the issue.
Amazon is offering a $236 discount on the stainless steel Apple Watch Series 9, with the 41mm GPS + Cellular model now priced at $462.83, down from $699. The Series 9 features the new S9 chip, a 3,000-nit screen, pinch detection, and is Apple's first carbon neutral release. The discount marks the first markdown since November and is one of the first discounts since its launch. Additionally, there are various band recommendations available for the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Scientists at the University of Hong Kong have developed a revolutionary stainless steel, SS-H2, designed for hydrogen production, which offers superior corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness compared to Titanium. This innovation could significantly reduce material costs in water electrolyzers, making hydrogen production from renewable sources more affordable. The new steel exhibits high corrosion resistance, enabling its potential application for green hydrogen production from seawater, and its performance in salt water electrolyzers is comparable to using Titanium while being much cheaper. The research achievements are currently applying for patents in multiple countries, with the potential to revolutionize corrosion resistance and bring new applications in industrial settings.
Tesla's Cybertruck has faced numerous challenges in its journey to mass production. The unique design of the truck, featuring a stainless steel alloy and flat, angular surfaces, has posed difficulties in manufacturing. Tesla had to invent a new manufacturing process called "air bending" to shape the steel without touching the surface. The dimensional accuracy required for the vehicle is also a challenge, as any mistakes are easily visible on the flat plane. Elon Musk has acknowledged the challenges and stated that it will take time before the Cybertruck becomes a significant positive cash flow contributor for the company.
