- Join us as we discuss the bitter reality of rust problems with the Tesla Cybertruck. 2 outsiders and a large M&M delve into the latest issues with the highly anticipated electric truck. Stay informed about the potential rust risks and make an educated decision before purchasing.
As an Outsider Channel, we pride ourselves on giving our honest feedback. That being said, we are aware that many people will not agree with our views and opinions but we welcome the opportunity to have a conversation about these kind of issues and maybe even have you guys on the show, virtually to discuss these in a civilized manner. Thank you all for watching and please try to be respectful.
Wow, right off the playbook, nicely done. But yeah stainless is a pain, and it is almost impossible to avoid if you want a new appliance let alone a vehicle. I don't own a Tesla or stock, nor am I a 'rah rah' Musk can do no wrong fan, but i know a few things, lol. Musk was forced by the COURTS to buy twitter after trying to pull out of the deal when seeing twitter's books. His compensation package which included more stock was voided by the COURTS therefor he has less stock, so he has been basically working for free for 5 or 6 years at Tesla. The EPA itself sets the mileage, not the company, not sure who does the testing for the results though or the methodology. The info is out there, you just can't accept what you are spoon fed from media and 'haters'. Seems like a conspiracy of the likes for Preston Tucker is coming down on Musk, I just grab the popcorn and watch lol.
@@michaelkaster5058 That is all great info, thank you. I will correct one aspect if you don't mind. The EPA does the testing but not on every vehicle, however the manufacturer decides which bracket they tell customers. They are usually given, best, worst and average range and then the manufacturer will chose which one they advertise. Tesla always goes with the best and is one of the only ones to do so, most other manufacturers use the more conservative numbers which is why when Edmonds or CR do their range test, Tesla vehicles Never achieve their range and others will and surpass it. I did appreciate reading your comment as it is informative and well thought out. We try to keep an open mind but we also like to just share our thoughts, although this was the first video we produce like this where we just let it all out but we enjoyed doing it and we look forward to the next one so grab that popcorn my friend and please keep watching.... maybe even subscribe? I had to try lol
@@Outsider.Reviews, yeah i probably wont sub, sorry. More into VGG, Diesel Creek and such where work gets done, not talking about it lol :)
@@michaelkaster5058 can't blame me for trying lol Have a good one Michael
Waste of time content, how about walk around a rusting cybertruck instead of sat indoors talking about it.
I’m around these all day everyday and have not seen rust once and yes they’ve sat in the rain already . Click bait
@@jtyler81 Yeah you can tell how biased they're going to be just by the other things they are saying about it. Raises a big red flag in terms of trustworthiness of it.
Your opinion matters, I'll consider more interactive content in the future.
I think, therefore I am! Our opinions might differ from yours but it doesn't make it less important, bias or wrong. You are allowed to think this is the best truck to ever be produced and I would be ok with that. We are not a news outlet, although I would argue they also have bias depending on the outlet, we are just two guys giving our opinions on our channel and then having discussions on the comment thread afterwards. I will say Thank you for watching and providing us with your comment, we do appreciate it.
@@jtyler81 So the Cybertruck owner on the message board are all lying?
OMG did both your sets of parents huff gasoline while pregnant with the two of you?????
LOL! Thanks for the laugh, appreciate the engagement!
It’s made of stainless steel! Stain less not stain free lol😂
Well it's a Tesla proprietary variant of stainless steel so I think a more appropriate name for it would be.... Stain-Now lol I mean come on... less than two weeks of ownership and you need to buff out rust spots.
That’s not rust it just the “patina” 😂
Call it patina, call it rust spots.... these are blemishes that require constant attention and should not happen on 100k plus vehicle after less than two weeks. We just find this very disappointing
Stainless steel is prone to rust in certain circumstances. Did you consider discussing these circumstances before making this slanted video? Or just decide your cognitive bias approach would persuade people?
We just decided to make the video after reading that owners were experiencing rust after driving the truck in the rain for 2 days. Do you agree that a vehicle having rust (whether it be superficial or not) within 11 days of ownership is a very bad reflection of quality?
They could upgrade to food grade stainless steel! Would jack the price, but tesla owners don't seem to mind, lol
Hahaha yeah they won't mind
they took 0 engineering lessons from the car manufacturing industry, look into tesla smell problems and other stuff
That is why most auto enthusiasts refer to Tesla as a Tech company that builds cars and not as a car manufacturer. Thanks for watching and providing us with your comment, we appreciate it.
it´s just you we watch the whole time outside maybe 5 seconds of pics of the cars. Nowhere on the pics can I see rust. What are you talking about?
That's a fair point. I will try to increase the quality as we grow our channel. We are still pretty new at this so we appreciate the feedback. Thank you
It's been like 2 weeks Jesus
Yup... and for some reason, Tesla owners are fine with that.
Buff w/ an acid based solution. It will eat the rust
For a 100k truck, there shouldn’t be any issue…cybertruck is official a garbage truck…
The Pacer and Gremlin have better design aesthetics than the Cyber-Not-a-Truck. And arguably better body panel fitment, too!
lol Not-a-truck indeed... although to be fair... Elon did call it a car like 20 times at the release so.... guess it's a car lol
It states in the manual..
Immediately remove oil, grease, bird droppings, dead insects, tar stops and road salt…..
Basically everything your vehicle is likely to come into contact with.
During every day use! 😂
to be fair that is recommended for paint surfaces as well, just not sure it is in the manuals, cause i never read them lol
yeah.... not the best.... Please use cybertruck indoors or in temperate weather lol
In college I lived in Rochester, I drove 76 Monte Carlo with mismatch doors and looked like something out of Mad Max the movie that had less rust than the cybertruck, i miss that car!
Hahahaha that's awesome 👍
that truck is so dam ugly the rust might make it look better
There are different kinds of "stainless steel which is mainly nickel. Some (cheaper) kinds have iron mixed in it. This is the kind that rusts.
When buying any stainless steel, use a trick employed by boaters. Take along a small magnet, touch it on the stainless steel. If it sticks it has some iron in it and it'll certainly rust. You are looking for non-ferrous stainless steel, that the magnet will not stick to, that will not rust.
You can use this method to test other items like nuts and bolts, stainless, brass, bronze, etc.
.................................
Elon Musk should have known this, and so should have the buyers of these monstrosities.
Perhaps Elon will sell magnets for it to bling it out lol I will however note that Elon did say "we dug our own grave with the Cybertruck" and he might of been right. Thanks for watching and providing us with your comment, we appreciate it.
Damn Canadians can’t trust em
hahaha What did we do? Sorry! lol
I have a long list of things about the cybertruck that I don't like, but to not have some kind of clear coating, so dumb. I'm all electric vehicles as in many applications they will be cheaper than gas vehicles. We still have a need for gas/hybrid as electric vehicles still have some short comings, but Tesla seems to be doing everything wrong
We absolutely love EV's! They drive like no ICE can and if used in the right context, can be very inexpensive and convenient. Thanks for watching and providing us with your comment, we appreciate it.
"One of the problems with Tesla is Elon Musk". Amen
Yeah the richest man in the world is bad for the company 😂 he’s doing something right. Makes sense why people are so jealous
That is our opinion on the matter yes and we are noticing that there are many others like us. Thank you for watching.
He is pretty rich and yes he is doing a lot of right things for himself. We just argue that he is not as good for the consumer as many would like us to believe. He has lied a lot and that is cause for concern. That's all we are saying
A little rust isn't going to make that ugly truck look any better. It's the UGGS of pickup trucks.
hahaha I like that! I was thinking Crocs but uggs sounds right. Thanks for watching our channel and commenting, we appreciate it.
From someone who has been a steel worker his whole life
Pickle your truck and it won’t rust
It is carbon contamination or from welding
Your experience is invaluable! Thank you for the tip. I have used the electric modular since I'm up north and everything rusts here and that seemed to work ok for 9 years so far.
These vehicles were in development for three years, why wasn't this rust issue noticed and corrected before production.
They had other things to figure out, like how to shape the panels and making sure it's bulletproof because obviously ppl that will buy this truck live in very bad neighborhoods lol.
"these vehicles are rusting" -which vehicles and why? You guys avoided these key things the entire video. What a waste.
That is actually really good feedback and a good observation! We really need this kind of feedback and notes if we are to grow our channel since our minds tend to wander sometimes. I have some issues concentrating which is why I am being medically released from the military due to injuries but I appreciate that you took the time to point this out. I will do better next time! Thank you for watching and I hope you subscribe and keep providing good feedback as we grow.
I rubbed out rust off of the curtain rod with petroleum jelly... you're welcome 😁
Rust be gone! Petroleum jelly to the rescue - saving curtain rods one swipe at a time.
Gordon Ramsey: make cybertruck out of my hexclad pots and pans….it won’t rust! And in summer time, just pour oil and you can cook on it..
Which Falcon Heavy launch did destroy parts of the launch pad? You are mixing up things (in the middle of this video, around 6:20). The Falcon Heavy is the one with three boosters side by side.
And I don't have rust spots in my kitchen sink, but you have it in the US? Oh, what material do you have? I'm sorry for that. I didn't choose any special quality - it's just what we get in Europe. All right, this may explain the rust on the CT...
Hey, thanks for catching that mix-up! I'll make sure to double-check my facts next time. And yeah, kitchen sinks are a whole different story across the pond!
@@Outsider.Reviews thanks for your response!
When i worked with stainless steel vine vats all tooling had to be stainless or brass. If anything other than that touched it microscopic bits of iron will start to show up as rust. Wonder what Elon's tooling is made of?
That's very interesting, I did not know that. Using that logic... wouldn't it mean that any scratches that occur from contact with any material other than stainless steel will result in permanent rust spots?
lol , if you really think about the CT is basically every bad thing each manufacturer has done to "the truck" since it was inveted., it lookks like a big Pontiac Aztec.., but with the bed of a honda ridgeline and the rust of a chevy avalanche. the only way this is a good truck is if its a really cheap truck.. but its way not that either..
you forgot to mention the Pontiac Trans Sport windshield but you did a good job with the rest lol. Thanks for watching and providing us with your comment, we appreciate it.
lol omg yup , i sooo forgot all about that thing..i must have blocked it out .. @@Outsider.Reviews
Holy f$€k that’s funny
Serves you trendies right
Haha, glad you enjoyed it! Watch out for more funny content coming your way!
I'M NOT SEEING THIS IN ARIZONA , IT MUST BE A SALTWATER SPRAY THING
Thank you for watching and giving us some feedback, we greatly appreciate it. Do you have a Cybertruck?
A couple of armchair critics! If you are going to call out Elon Musk for lying or not making good products give better examples. We have seen much worse from the other major car companies 😂. Of course you are going to get rust spots on unprotected stainless steel. It's going to require a little bit of maintenance to keep it shiny. Same thing with polished aluminum wheels. Even on salted roads there's no way it will rust through. Have you seen how thick those body panels are? It's not for everyone and that's ok, maybe more bad a** trucks will come out thanks to Elon. It's about time someone made something unique, and compelling in the automotive industry. It's easy to sit back and mock someone like that, it has been done with all the greatest inventors in history.
We are absolutely a couple of armchair critics! We are not insiders in any way but you have to admit that a buyer should not expect rust spots or any blemish on a brand new vehicle after driving two days in the rai. Also I want to thank you for you comment, it was respectful and you made good points which I respect. Thanks for watching our video even if you did not agree with our opinions.
I know little about cars but they should not rust after a short time and the edges should align I don't think you need to be an expert to agree with anything I said I don't need a engineering degree to understand shoddy work when I see it maybe try not been a simp to a multi billionaire who doesn't even know you exist
@@liamcollinson5695 exactly what we're saying! Thank you for watching our video and also taking time to comment. It's appreciated
If i wanted stainless steel body i would just buy a delorean
Those are kind of hard to come by but.... I hear the build quality is better than the Cybertruck lol
The most boring presenters ever.
lol We're working on it but would appreciate some tips! We are a small channel trying to improve but Thanks for watching and providing us with your comment, we appreciate it.
Completely ruined the point of a stainless steel body......
Yuck
My concern is also for the ppl wrapping their cybertrucks... you got to wonder what is going underneath at this point.
wash with steelwool kook
Steelwool for that extra shine, right?
Maybe do some research before you talk about things. Falcon heavy didn't blow up. You are talking about a different rocket entirely. And they literally expected it to blow up. That's the R&D process. Many more will blow up before it succeeds. That's how it works, regardless of who is at the helm. The launch pad did get destroyed. Literally business 101 to expect that. If you address everything before hand, you don't know business and you will fail. It's called "Lean Startup".
And many many more things you got wrong.
You sort of got rust right, seriously flawed truck in many ways. But did you even talk about galvanic corrosion at all? Stainless steel does rust. It's in the elements in the alloy mixture. But it is more susceptible to corrod.
I value your input and will strive to improve the quality of my content.
Great video 👍
Awesome, thanks for watching!
not
Could you elaborate? As in, Not a good thing that the truck is rusting after 11 days?
Its kind of odd that I don't want anything to do with Tesla or any product Musk is involved in and yet I never once gave a thought to who was running GM or Toyota when I purchased their vehicles. I think of him as a man child that has surrounded himself with people that wont tell him no, those that would have been fired. I lost all respect for him when he lashed out at that guy who told him his submarine idea wasn't viable and his response was to call the guy risking his life to save children a pedophile. at that point I no longer care if Tesla's became the best car ever built I will never buy anything that puts money into his pocket.
He is more prolific than any other CEO's that's for sure but I agree with you, he acts like a manchild often and should not be given more power. Thanks for watching and providing us with your comment, we appreciate it.
Electric vehicles were available to the public 10 years before the invention of the combustion vehicle.
Electric cars failed 100 years ago for the same reason as why they will fail this time.
Combustion vehicles are more versatile and less restrictive, compared to electric 😉
Maybe electric vehicles just need a little spark to get back on track! Who knows, they might surprise us this time.
I thought they made them out of aluminum like deloreans?.
Naw the og deloreans are stainless.
Tesla says it uses proprietary stainless steel. However, even proprietary stainless steels can stain, especially if any cheaper steel fittings beneath the Cybertruck's panels react with the stainless product.
There are different qualities of Stainless steel. Looks like Tesla is using the cheaper refrigerator stainless. Using all the good stainless on the rocket ships.
Yes, we had a comment earlier mention the magnet theory about grading the kind of stainless steel and I found that pretty interesting. I have no idea what the thought was in the making of the Cybertruck but I believe it will make a good example for Lessons learnt
What lies? Name them all.
Here are some instances where Elon Musk has made misleading or false statements:
* Tesla Production Goals: Musk has repeatedly set ambitious production targets for Tesla vehicles, often missing these deadlines. This has led to criticism that he overpromises and underdelivers.
* Tesla "Full Self-Driving": The name of Tesla's advanced driver-assistance system, "Full Self-Driving," has been criticized as misleading. Despite its name, the system still requires active driver supervision and is not capable of fully autonomous operation.
* "Funding Secured" Tweet: In 2018, Musk tweeted that he had "funding secured" to take Tesla private at $420 per share. This tweet led to a surge in Tesla's stock price, but the deal never materialized. Musk later settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission over this tweet, admitting that it was false and misleading.
* Hyperloop Promises: Musk has made ambitious claims about the potential of the Hyperloop, a high-speed transportation system he proposed. However, progress on developing a working Hyperloop system has been slow, and some experts doubt its feasibility.
Quality Chineseum.
Thanks for the love on the Chineseum content!
What would be the procedure to have a lasting clear coat of paint on a stainless steel body? Its not possible if the final goal is the have a raw stainless steel look.
I'd just go with a clear vinyl wrap, even with a cool holographic effect
The trick is to not use cheap garbage stainless.
The DMC DeLorean was made with high quality and they never died.
@@chrisfurnier4790 sure you could. But you can't just clear coat stainless. It won't last. It's hard to get primer to stick to stainless.
@@specializ20 I know, that's why I say - go with the clear wrap. Would look even crazier with a holographic shimmer to it. Would look even more space age 😆
The fact that Tesla went with proprietary stainless steel and not high grade stainless is an issue but they did it to lower cost. Most ppl are doing a wrap to be honest. My issue is that this vehicle is very expensive for what you get and if you watch Lucky Lopez's new video about his Cybertruck which he wrapped, there are gap and alignment issues which speaks to the quality you can expect from Tesla
Rust is one of the most misunderstood natural processes. This video proves it!
Lets just wait until someone actually shows a proper video of how bad this "rusting" stainless steel it.
It's probably not what everyone is thinking right now...
In the meantime, thanks for the klick bait.
We are not debating the natural process of rust, nor are we doing a deep dive into why it is happening. Our view is that a brand new vehicle that cost 100k should not be showing any blemishes like that after 11 days of ownership. Would you be happy if you owned any vehicle that had rust or blemishes on it's body after less than two weeks? As for the click bait.... yeah it's a bit click bait'ish lol I'm not gonna B.S. you on that one lol
@Outsider.Reviews Could just as easily be a spec of something ferrous on the surface that has rusted making it look like rust. But that's just speculation too...
@@GdaySport lol you are avoiding answering that question like a politician my friend lol Would you be upset if you bought a 100k vehicle brand new and it would have issues like rust or spots on the paint within 11 days of ownership?
@@Outsider.Reviews obviously I would be upset if it was actually rusting. Just haven't seen anything that looks like it might actually be rusting, and I certainly wouldn't jump on the band wagon without being certain it was...
@@GdaySport we chose to believe the 3 owners
I think the bloom is going to be off the Cybertruck rose very soon.
We think so too. As we start getting more and more actual owners accounts of the Cybertruck, we will see how it really is.
