It wouldn’t even look different or cost all that much. The only downside is you would be able to leave it parked outside.
What will Tesla think of next?
I don’t understand why people want their truck to look pristine. Mine is all of seven years old, and is more dents and scratches than it is intact bodywork - because it’s a truck, and it gets used for truck stuff. If you don’t use it for truck stuff, and want a shiny object, for god’s sake, don’t buy a truck.
You can also passivate, powdercoat, etc. Not that you should need to do this after dropping that kinda cash on a car (refuse to call it a truck :P)
And on that subject I was thinking on pickup truck beds today. None of them are really very good. A good bed would be made out of solid steel and be full of tie down points. That is, the way work trucks are made. As is stands they are made of car body steel and have almost no tie down points, and never one where you need it.
As a postscript I have been watching the edison motors channel(they are developing an electric semi truck). and my first thought was "there is no way these guys are going to be able to make it in the industry, They make way too much sense" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an6e2Lh9u58
This “rust” is cosmetic tarnishing, not structural corrosion. Over time I imagine it will develop into a beautiful patina. Every CyberTruck will look unique. If you really want to keep it looking shiny and pristine, you can always get a clear protective wrap.

Everyone knows anything made of copper won't stay reddish if left outside for any length of time. It's just expected it will develop a green patina.
Maybe that's the sort of expectation these Tesla truck owners need to embrace - and the sooner the better. Every metal left outside will slowly oxidize.

Is that even a thing available?

Seems like if they went with a different language, the truck would Go better.
Should have gone for good old Steel Bank CL

That's right kids, It's A Feature, Not A Bug! ( and if it goes wrong it's your fault for not fixing it yourself )
Try it.

It really is a terrible truck. And on that subject I was thinking on pickup truck beds today. None of them are really very good.

There's a lot of different truck beds with different styles and materials for different purposes. Sheet metal truck beds are the most popular work truck bed by volume, but there are very serious industrial users that choose aluminum.

I think it's only partly sarcasm. Everyone knows anything made of copper won't stay reddish if left outside for any length of time. It's just expected it will develop a green patina.
