Will the stainless steel body of the Cyber Truck be prone to rusting from normal rainy conditions? This market will resolve YES if major new outlets report a rust problem with the Cyber Truck by the end of 2024. If the Rust issue is not a problem, or if is only affects a few early Cyber Trucks then this market will resolve NO.

I will let this market play out to the end of the year and see if anything more comes up, but as of Oct 1 this market is leaning NO.

This seems potentially fake (just a single source I could find), but reports rusting wheel hubs. Would that count? (my impression is no, since it is not "body", but checking) https://www.torquenews.com/11826/it-rained-little-only-3-days-after-taking-delivery-my-tesla-cybertruck-cyber-wheels-are

I just cant see the entire engineering team overlooking something as simple as 'rust' for a giant stainless steel vehicle

bought Ṁ10 NO from 63% to 60%

Interesting that this market ending this year is currently at 74% whereas I have a similar market ending 2030 currently at 50%.

Confident traders may have a lot of opportunity to balance these.

bought Ṁ200 YES

@FakeMoney does this count?: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-rusting-complaints-from-owners/

bought Ṁ50 YES

@FakeMoney Can we get your thoughts on this?

@Pykess I am going to keep this market open to see how this plays out.

@FakeMoney Is that a no?

"Stainless Steel Nightmares

Another issue Cybertruck owners are facing is the stainless steel body, which, while futuristic in appearance, is a real hassle to maintain. Like DeLorean owners before them, Cybertruck owners are discovering that keeping the exterior clean and looking new is a constant struggle.

Even using something as basic as Windex can leave behind uneven dark spots and streaks, making the truck look old and worn after just a few weeks.

Some owners consider wrapping their trucks to protect the finish, but even that comes with challenges. The longer you wait to wrap it, the harder it is to make the stainless steel look as good as new."

But I tend to think there will always be some hit pieces on Tesla so if you search for 'cybertruck rust problems' you will tend to find what you seek. While findable, may well not be serious enough to resolve this yes.
