Comment on Tesla's Cybertruck may not be so stainless after all

I deliver to a Tesla dealership/lemon farm everyday, and they had one on display. It had a smudge on the driver side rear quarter panel that they never got buffed out.

You don’t buff these things. You have to regrain them by rubbing an abrasive material across the panels in one direction same as a DeLorean.

Yeah that certainly reinforces a sense of longevity. Just rub off part of the door every time you have to clean it.

It’s sad that there’s nothing your can put on the metal, like something to paint on top of it or something. Like something clear, or in different colors even. Ah here I go again, being crazy with my imagination.

Apparently clear coat would also corrode the steel. This car annoys every last one of my redneck sensibilities.

That’s what buffing does to paint as well, but it’s not something you do when you need to clean it (whether paint or stainless), it’s something you do to repair cosmetic damage.
