Weeeellll, if we must be pedantic, then the car is a penis and the one drivind could be... welll... sperm.That's hideous!
And leaning into the idea that the driver is a massive penis!
So many people don't realize this. As a metallurgist, I always keep this in mind when people say "change it to stainless and it will never rust". Yeah...not exactly.Stain-less, not stain-free, unfortunately! Although the Delorean has held up pretty well for 40+ years!
But trying to convince the customer they don't want something is a tall order
316 only, please.So many people don't realize this. As a metallurgist, I always keep this in mind when people say "change it to stainless and it will never rust". Yeah...not exactly.
Right now, I have a project at work where the customer wants a stainless steel retrofit. However, our existing non-stainless solution is actually more robust because the coatings used to prevent corrosion are so good. But trying to convince the customer they don't want something is a tall order. Oy.
Wait till you get your hands on 321 or 347316 only, please.
Marketing works. My tent poles are made from 7075-T9 aluminum alloy. I know that this means they are better because it said so right in the ad.
Edit: A monel car would be bad ass.
7075 is good stuff, never heard of a T9 temper though. 7075-T6 is strong as hell, but has a lot of stress corrosion cracking issues.316 only, please.

I drive an actual work truck. 8' bed and a lumber rack, 6 ply tires. It's a very basic pickup, rubber floors and vinyl seats, no power anything. Everything I need and nothing I don't. My wife has a loaded Escape with every option available, I'd much rather drive the truck. Part of that is having driven pickup's my entire life, but most of it is just that it's so darn comfortable and quiet. Everyone that's ever ridden in it has commented on how comfortable it is.I get that but it still seems pointless to haul a load of vehicle around that isn't serving any purpose for a trip into the city!
Cyberpunk 2077 or real life?
Looks AI.
Here's another article about the orange cybertrucks.Welp
Cybertruck Owners Say They're Already Rusting
It's only been a couple of months since Tesla started shipping its Cybertruck. The stainless steel already appears to be rusting.futurism.com

Here's another article about the orange cybertrucks.
SFGATE: California Cybertruck owners find 'orange rust marks' on $80,000 cars.
Why wasn't that cleaned up before delivery?- For anyone who doesn't read the article, it's not the stainless steel but adjacent metals that bind to the steel during the manufacturing process that are rusting (small flecks of iron shavings that bind to the streel and rust when exposed to moisture).
Easy to remove with an application of Bar Keeper's friend and likely a one/two time phenomena for new truck owners.

Patina actually makes it look better.
My city was founded a couple of thousand years ago, lots of the streets are medieval.

The down side is that around town it drinks fuel at an alarming rate, but that's offset by buying fuel at the local grocery store for $1.25 a gallon using store rewards points.
And mine is 21' (6.4 meters) long. Can't park it in the garage and put the door down, if I could somehow lower it enough to fit under the door. On the plus side, I've carried 30' long material with it. I don't think a Mini could do that without some modifications.My city was founded a couple of thousand years ago, lots of the streets are medieval.

Rhetorical question, right? This is Tesla we're talking about here.Why wasn't that cleaned up before delivery?
Which city? I wanna google and ogle at the city images!My city was founded a couple of thousand years ago, lots of the streets are medieval. You're going to have a bad time trying to drive and park an American style truck in it!
Who you calling fool, Sir????Wired writes that only fools would use untreated stainless steel for car bodies:
This Is Why Tesla’s Stainless Steel Cybertrucks May Be Rusting
Who knew stainless steel might not be such a good idea for the exterior of an electric SUV? The entire automotive industry, that’s who.www.wired.com
That can also cause stress corrosion cracking in stainless steel. You are supposed to protect stainless steel from carbon steel during manufacturing. Then you should passivate it as well.- For anyone who doesn't read the article, it's not the stainless steel but adjacent metals that bind to the steel during the manufacturing process that are rusting (small flecks of iron shavings that bind to the streel and rust when exposed to moisture).

While this is something very different, a lot of new cars arrive in far less than new condition. New cars will commonly have all sorts of marring already on the paint. It's pretty insane how low the level of quality control for "new" cars. And I'm not talking cheap Nissans and Kias, I've seen $150k cars that arrived already in need of a 1 step paint correction.Why wasn't that cleaned up before delivery?
