Besides the stickers, I think this one looks a heck of a lot better in color vs. the stainless.

I'm not advocating the styling, I think they look worse in person than in pictures. And its hideous and frankly too big for me. But, this looks better IMHO.
The color wraps are much nicer and might add some protection, when your get up close to one, there’re not at bad or ugly as some make them out to be ..not warm and fuzzy like my R1T but nice..just my 2 cents.. ?

Cost savings, but I'd rather pay 20 bucks more. 300 series is non-magnetic, making it easily distinguishable from cheap 400 series. But I have read somewhere that Tesla uses a modified 300 series. Not sure, though. Now I'm gonna have to carry a magnet in case of a close encounter of CT kind.
The Throttle House did a review on the cyber truck and they stuck magnets onto the side of the truck which were holding down magnets signifying the different “chapters” in the review.
It was an enjoyable video, one of the guys sat in a grocery cart and the other host shoved it into the door… no dent

Only 316 stainless for me. Everything else barely lasts any time at all.

Just don’t drive it in the rain. Duh
You jest and yet, "Some Cybertruck owners say their fellow Cybertruckers are blowing things out of proportion, and one said it’s a good idea to not “...drive it in the rain, or get it wet.”

Kind of a catch 22 though. How does one engage the Cybertruck boating feature and not get it wet.

I think this is exactly what Musky envisioned when his 8 year-old self drew the first sketch. Us plebes will need something to drive after he takes his harem to Mars on the B.A.R.

(Or, he'll need somewhere to hide from the pitchforks when capitalism fails first.)

I think this brings up a great question: Other than a wrapped CT (which I must admit, makes it look a hell of a lot better), has anyone seen a CT in the wild that looks clean?

When I wash my truck, it looks clean for at least two weeks. Like, really clean. Every CT I have seen looks so dirty.
Need to buy cases of this. It works great on stainless steel appliances.

I'm laughing at how gullible people are. The closeup photos showing small streaks of orange are rail dust/industrial fallout, the same orange spots will show up on any light colored car when contaminated with iron. The orange spots have nothing to do with the material they are on and will wash off easily.

The alloy of stainless steel used in the Cybertruck is a proprietary alloy but one of the lead engineers revealed they had boosted the chromium content to make it more corrosion resistant. The panels are not rusting, it's all fake outrage over a non-existent problem.

Well, that settles it. This is not even a 300 series SS, with it being 400, it makes it even more difficult to maintain it. I wouldn't be surprised if these things turn really ugly after a couple of years, at least without a lot of elbow grease.
