Tesla engineer sheds light on concerns about potential rusting in Cybertruck vehicles and provides guidelines for maintenance.
There have been swirling concerns among Tesla enthusiasts and future Cybertruck owners regarding the possibility of the futuristic vehicle’s stainless steel body experiencing rust. In response, a Tesla engineer has come forward to dispel these worries and offer advice on proper maintenance to prevent any corrosion.
The Tesla team underscores that the Cybertruck, made from ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel, has a high resistance to rusting. However, the engineer admits that even this industrial-grade material is not impervious to surface contamination, which, if left unchecked, can lead to rust-like discoloration. These contaminants, often metallic particles from industrial fallout, air pollution, or brake dust, can adhere to the surface and initiate corrosion if not properly cleaned.
To combat this, the engineer recommends regular washing of the vehicle with a mild soap and water solution, using a clean cloth for wiping. For more persistent spots, a clay bar can be used to gently remove contaminants before a final rinse and dry. This routine care is essential for preserving the vehicle’s signature appearance and integrity.
Beyond simple cleaning, the Tesla engineer advises owners to store the Cybertruck properly. If the vehicle is often parked outdoors in areas with high pollution levels or near coastal environments with salty air, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to prevent accumulation of harmful particles.
Appropriate cleaning materials and methods are key. Harsh chemicals and abrasive materials should be avoided to prevent scratching the stainless steel surface. Sticking to non-metallic cleaning tools and soft cloths will ensure the Cybertruck maintains its flawless finish for years to come. Through these simple but effective maintenance tips, the durability and sleek aesthetic of the Cybertruck can be easily upheld.
