@Mrbfgray 24 дня назад

I can tell you the results of your proposed experiment with replaced side panel--you toss it out in the woods for, say for half a century, exposed to mild acid of fallen leaves and all the elements that would completely obliterate common carbon steels most cars are made of--and there will be zero significant change to that panel, nothing that can't be cleaned off and maybe some scratches, dings from larger falling limbs. I've done similar experiments over decades, just incidental exposure of lessor quality common SS, commercial sinks and such. Nothing happens to SS. Very harsh chemicals can damage it, if you were to sprinkle granulated automatic dishwasher detergent on it and let sit over night wet, that can eat holes in it in concentrated form. Common acids like concentrated vinegar or bases like ammonia which will remove automotive paint in hrs, will not faze SS.

@@PDVism Theoretically it is not the stainless steel that rusts. One metal acts as the anode, generating electrons that create an electrical current flow. The other metal acts as the cathode, collecting these electrons. An electrolyte material (such as rainwater or dew) covers the metals where they touch, completing the electrical current path. If this occurs, corrosion can happen.

Glass shattering due to a manufacturing error (built in stress point) can happen anytime. Our older Chevy Blazer was sitting in the garage for about 10 minutes after we had pulled in on a normal summer day - not hot - and literally "blew up". We heard a loud bang in the house, ran into the closed garage and the glass was everywhere - nothing had fallen on it, nothing had punch up from the inside, just a pretty clean opening where the glass had been.

@OfSoundMind56 24 дня назад

A little background before I make my comment. I have welded, machined, and fabricated with stainless steel for almost 40 years. Stainless steel generally does not rust. The rust you see is superficial surface rust. The panel will not corrode away. It will not intrude into the thickness of the material in anyway. With a ScotchBrite pad and some proper buffing it'll be gone. When stainless steel is handled around steel it will pick up superficial transfer from your steel table top, the dies in a break, regular hand tools scraping the metal. You get the transfer to the stainless. It is very much just superficial surface transfer. The Cyber truck skin is not going to rot away in the driveway because of rust. I may. But it won’t. I like your videos by the way.👍

Then over the course of 1 month, I accidentally back my trailer into the side of my truck, a week later someone runs a red light, gets hit, rolls into a parking lot and hits the other side of my truck. I have it sent for insurance repairs from the car crash, and literally the day after I get it back I have a front-end collision making a turn and the other person did not stop for their stop sign, and just hit me. It's been years since then, so I'm really worried the next wave is coming LOL

It is not like galvanized steel,

In Michigan, "parked" damage is covered under your "Comprehensive" part of your auto insurance policy. It's wise to carry a zero, or near-zero deductible on your "Comp" insurance. Other states are different.

@DirtyTesla 24 дня назад

It would be 0 deductible but I want to avoid a claim if I can help it

@12345682900 24 дня назад

@@DirtyTesla Making a claim for "Comp" will not affect your premiums.....becasue this damage was NOT your fault. Your vehicle was parked.

Getting the 1st or BETA of anything is usually an interesting adventure. Is that the same panel you were "cleaning" with a weed wacker?

@DirtyTesla 24 дня назад

Yes lol I knew it was going to be replaced :P

Damage like this tends to come in perfect storms, I don’t know why but maybe it’s just Poisson clustering. Same thing happened to me, after 5 years of zero issue ownership in California, right when I moved to Seattle I had 5 different incidents in a short span of time, none of which were my fault. 😖 I also noticed that Tesla really does charge fair prices for small trim work, even on their expensive cars, so your experience here matches mine.

Check your front truck under the covers. Wiper fluid is most likely leaking into there into the wiring system.

The likely hood depends on several factors, including: The steel's composition, Impurities in the steel, The environment, and The type of water and its conditions. Stainless steel with a higher chromium content has a higher chance of rusting. Also it took the electromagnetic powder coating off thats why it rusted so fast

Please leave it so you and your viewers can learn the difference between stainless steel and paint-coated steel ( Hint: you can get surface corrosion but it does not penetrate or spread.) I really think you should take the $2000, LOL. This is the mind-blowing difference between owning a CyberTruck and any other vehicle ❤, you can enjoy making money on Stupid Drivers.

Rivian rear corner panel fix is insane $$$!

@moter3d 23 дня назад

You will need a rear fascia and the upper bed appliqué. The fascia was scraped in the wreck and the appliqué has to be removed to replace 1/4 panel. It’s not reusable

@supercharged2414 24 дня назад

Pitiful. Would someone explain why this STAINESS STEEL is rusting? I have a stainless steel table outside that has plenty of scratches and is not rusting. I' m in Florida where humidity and rain is rampant. No rust after 20 years! Is this a hardened stainless steel or extra steel content for strength?

Is Tesla performing a passivation operation on these stainless steel panels?

@GET2222 22 дня назад

That is absolutely insanely cheap to fix that huge panel. RIVIAN got rear-ended and two different people paid north of $40k. My BMW X5M just got back from a small dent in the tail gate and it cost $3200 for a small lower gate. Paint is expensive.

Reminds me of when I was 5, at school, and saw a rusted padlock in the playground and thought it was funny that it said "stainless" when it could clearly be stained

@Lightmaker5 8 дней назад

That rust is from another car's metal probably. Fused by friction and obviously rusted later. Best way to test how much iron is in the stainless steel panels is putting on a magnet. The lighter a magnet sticks to stainless steel, the less iron it has and the less likely it will rust. There are many different types of stainless steel. Those where a magnet doesn't stick, they don't rust at all. But they do color dark quick in a moist environment. None of them are perfect.

@StormyDog 23 дня назад

I bet the glass problem was from the flapping trim piece or tightening the trim nut improperly.

@JDTaylor 24 дня назад

Try some Bartender's Keep On that "rust" spot. Love to see if that takes it off. Could be from the other car?

@Alarix246 25 дней назад

Wow, suddenly it looks like one of the best accessories would be the stainless steel fenders!

@khuo0219 24 дня назад

If that A pillar glass defect was not caused by the trim replacement, then Tesla would probably need to make some recalls. I hope there is a good explanation because it can be dangerous if you have not tinted that window.

@3dagedesign 25 дней назад

stainless should not rust like that, i'm thinking it could be metal impacted from the other vehicle. try a little Tormek paste. also,... after cleaning, wipe it with a little bit of light oil, EG: WD40.

@PDVism 25 дней назад

Thinking that stainless steel doesn't rust..... shows that you have no clue that stainless steel can very easily rust.

@stephenm3470 25 дней назад

I hope youhave a pic of the parking space. If the car protrudes from the spot then the insurance will dispute and underwriting will fight it. Even if its parked. Its a common issue for parked buses and haulage. If i bumped your car i would fight it, if your car was not hanging out of the spot it wouldnt have been hit and thats what i would gell my insurer.
