They forgot to put a sacrificial anode:
because tesla is a rubbish company that sells poorly made cars at expensive markups because there’s no dealer showroom to try before you buy
You can test drive the car before you buy though. I did some months ago, though I didn’t end up buying it.
Granted, you don’t try the exact vehicle that you’ll be buying. You used to be able to return the vehicle within 7 days, but it looks like they canceled that policy.
I think this is actually what Tesla’s biggest contribution to cars has been thus far. Dealerships need to die, the stone ages are over.
Every time I hear about this problem, I get that one part from the song Love Shack stuck in my head.
🎵 Your what?!?!
TEEEEEEEEEEES-LAAA!
…rustedLove shack,
Baby love shack 🎵What I haven’t seen mentioned is that the structure of the vehicle depends on the integrity of the exterior, if Tesla’s own marketing was true. So, if it rusts easily, isn’t it more likely to be structurally unstable during impact?
I think they dropped their original plan for a unibody design, and there is a regular chassis underneith. That also could be rusting, but invisibly :)
The headline says it may be rusting. Nobody would be saying “may be rusting” if it was known they were rusting.
Fair point. No dog in the fight over here.
What the washing alcohol off fleck? Do they not know that alcohol evaporates without a trace?
Alcohol evaporates, but the stuff you were trying to clean off does not.
One would think that this is gone too after changing towel. But anyway, that us not what’s written in the manual…
Because its not actually stainless.
Someone brought up an important point about stainless steal that i forgot until they mentioned it… It’s called stain-less, not stain-free.
Should have used rust-free steel instead, classic Dusk mistake 🙄
elon’s gonna bring back rusty jones into popularity.
which ironically would be the first time elon brought a company OUT of bankruptcy
Full Self Destaining :)
Double unstain metal
FDA approved stainless steel (316L) doesn’t actually rust. Otherwise you’d have sprinkles of rust in your food and drink from production, and you’d have to buy new utensils and a kitchen sink because they’ve rusted.
There are different grades of stainless steel with their varying properties.
316L is perfectly capable of rusting especially under pitting corrosion. I don’t know who told you it is physically incapable. It is just unlikely under normal food conditions.
Rust is just iron oxide, it’s not a big deal in food in small quantities.
Though alloys containing chromium might be a different story.
316L absolutely can corrode. Add a bit of acid in the water and it will start showing rust soon enough. Typically you can find chemical compatibility charts for various metal grades to see what does and doesn’t work with a metal.
All “stainless” means is that the alloy contains at least 10.5% chromium. It’s not a guarantee that it won’t corrode or oxidize.
@hedge just leave it on the street to encourage tagging and get a free paint job, problem solved
Okay, it rusts. Now, ride SpaceX ships…
Congrats to Tesla for making the worst truck imaginable. Shit’s hilarious, too bad it’s not a joke.
It is a joke, it’s just unintended 😁
Is it because they’re shitty overpriced pieces of junk hawked by a known con artist? Or some other reason?
Just like the exterior of their new gigafactory in Austin.
Stainless steel also stains. “Stainless” does not mean “never stains,” just that it stains less than other steels.
Endless Spotless Stainless Steel is a steel that stains, has fewer spots, and ends a bit later. The logic of English is all but senseless. Which means it has everything except a bit less sense.
I found out way too late that “all but” means exactly the same thing as “almost”. If “all but X” is taken literally, it should mean “you can describe this thing in lots of ways, but it’s definitely not X”.
(I am not a native English speaker but I use English more then my native tongue due to being online so much)
Ooo, I know this one! Is it because of Elon’s massive ego and refusal to listen to experts?
If anyone needs one reason to avoid the stupidtruck, it’s the sheer ugliness of that abomination. I don’t understand how people can worship such a petulant egomaniac enough to adore such a travesty from him.
Look, we all know the only thing stainless steel is good for is the temporal flux dispersion. In all other ways it’s a PITA.
I don’t have a lot of sympathy for any of the idiots that buy these idiotic things.
