minus-squareBigoldmustard@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoWhat 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?

minus-squareintensely_human@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoThe headline says it may be rusting. Nobody would be saying “may be rusting” if it was known they were rusting.
