Despite the recent release of these Tesla EVs — and the little road time they’ve been subjected to — Cybertrucks are already developing imperfections on their body panels, leading owners to debate what’s causing the early signs of rust on forums. From Futurism:
One Cybertruck Owners Club forum member says they started noticing small orange flecks appearing on his truck after driving it in the rain for just two days.
“Just picked up my Cybertruck today,” they wrote. “The advisor specifically mentioned the cybertrucks develop orange rust marks in the rain and that required the vehicle to be buffed out.”
The Cybertruck owner posted followup photos after washing the vehicle down with soap, and they didn’t inspire much confidence, showing body panels already pockmarked with small orange spots.

Looks like pollen or other road crap. Some people are saying rail dust from train transport
Looks like this pics got removed.
Lol barkeeper’s friend to de-rust your expensive vehicle
That company is having an unexpected payday, methinks…at very least they’re getting tons of free press lately
I love that some guy suggested tho just cover the car while transporting via rail. And then? Never get vlose to a railway ever again? I used to work next to a railway, and the white cars were super dusty from the breaking dust. Everything rusts like crazy that gets in contact with it.
