Tesla Cybertruck develops orange rust spots after being exposed to rain. Officials recommend using designated cleaners to remove them

Recently, some Tesla Cybertruck owners have discovered that their electric pickup trucks have orange rust spots after raining. This issue attracted attention, and the official Cybertruck account responded quickly and forwarded an explanation by Wes Morrill, Tesla Engineering Director and Cybertruck Chief Engineer.

According to Wes Morrill explained, stainless steel is reactive, and free iron elements may rust under certain conditions. He emphasized that this rust is just surface contamination and can be easily removed. He recommends using Bar Cleaner brands such as Keeper's Friend and citrisurf77 can effectively remove rust spots. For tougher stains, he recommends the blue scratch-resistant Scotch Brite pad for wiping as it leaves no marks on metal surfaces.

A netizen, Raxar, posted on the cybertruckownersclub forum that on the day he picked up the car, the sales consultant reminded him that rain might cause the vehicle to rust. However, Raxar didn't care about it right away. He didn't realize the seriousness of the problem until he noticed that obvious orange rust spots appeared on the Cybertruck after it was parked in the rain for two days. Despite attempts to clean with dish soap, the rust stains are still visible.

The accident of Tesla Cybertruck has made car owners worry about the quality of the car. Tesla said it will pay close attention to the problem and maintain communication with car owners to find solutions together.
