FUGLY!!! I had the misfortune yesterday to see, not one, but THREE

cybertrucks. They were on a car hauler going to the tesla dealership. I was waiting for the light to change, and the hauler passed in front of me. They are even uglier in person than in pictures! A young man was standing next to me, and said that he would never have one, they were ugly, and he did not trust the self-driving feature. We ended up having a lovely, non-tesla conversation, and I now have contact information for friends who might need a general contractor.

Some days are just like that.

I'm also on the fence if it's both a safety hazard to pedestrians and the driver.

They used N-304 stainless steel. That grade of stainless has issues with how it handles chlorides. Like salt spray for those on the coasts, road salt for those with real winter-style weather.
It removes the chromium oxide coating, leaches chromium & nickel out of the crystal structure, and exposes the iron to air.
The ionic metathesis cause formation of copper chloride (purple), nickel chloride (green), & the oxidized iron turns red.
These bodies are going to discolor, and I don't mean in 15 years.
They should have gone with 400 series, as is used in flatware.
