Finally, concrete evidence that the rewrite it in Rust fad has gone way too far! It’s about time we put object oriented oxidation to rest.

Seems like if they went with a different language, the truck would Go better.

Should have gone for good old Steel Bank CL

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.

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 )

This is sarcasm, right?

Is that even a thing available?

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.

Why capital 'R' in rust here? I thought somehow they were using Rust in their software, and ran into some problems with it.
