At the end of 2023, Tesla began delivering the first copies of its Cybertruck, which premiered in 2019 and for which Tesla received over 2 million orders. However, on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, owners are already reporting problems with corrosion that has appeared on the body, which Tesla says is made of stainless steel.

Of course, a stainless steel body will show imperfections over time, and Tesla also states in the Cybertruck user manual that steel panels are susceptible to corrosive substances when not washed regularly.

One of the owners said that the corrosion appeared a few days after he bought the car. Another said that he bought the Cybertruck on February 1st and that the corrosion appeared after 11 days and 613 kilometers driven. He also posted the photos attached in the gallery and contacted his service advisor. He was told that Tesla had a procedure in place to fix the problem, but that the facility did not have the tools on hand and had not previously performed repairs of this type.

The owners took the vehicles to a service facility where they were told that they had a procedure to fix the rust but that they did not have the tools on hand to immediately fix it.

It will be interesting to see how Tesla will solve this problem as more and more owners are reporting rust on their Cybertruck.
