What I haven’t seen mentioned is that the structure of the vehicle depends on the integrity of the exterior, if Tesla’s own marketing was true. So, if it rusts easily, isn’t it more likely to be structurally unstable during impact?
The headline says it may be rusting. Nobody would be saying “may be rusting” if it was known they were rusting.
Fair point. No dog in the fight over here.
I think they dropped their original plan for a unibody design, and there is a regular chassis underneith. That also could be rusting, but invisibly :)
