I agree. I was wait listed for a Rivian, but was reading about quality issues, long maintenance waits, and very thin bodywork. That combined with the price made it a little unpalatable. We need a replacement soon, so I unfortunately think it will be gas.
I could personally care less about metal scratches, but white primer (or whatever color) under colored paint does bother me. Plus, when the paint peels off it invites rust.
I really just want an indestructible box on wheels (yes, I know the cybertruck isn’t it). Old unimogs sell well with people in the area - I’m just idealistic hoping for a bomber electric jeep one day.
er owned anything with brushed stainless panels, but ding-proof they are not, and they’re generally WAY more noticeable. They also still need to be clear coated, otherwise every panel w
As long as they are a bit thicker than what typically is on a car, I’d be happy. Paint is also a huge PITA for me - I’d rather just have raw stainless rather than colored streaks on paint. That’s just my preference, though.

Well you better hope you never ding the Cybertruck unless you want to replace an entire stainless steel panel and hope it aligns properly.
Like I said - I don’t like the cybertruck itself, but I like some of the aspects (thicker doors, no paint). I do apply aspects of this to cars that I own through expensive skid plates, rock sliders, etc. They are cheaper to replace than the bodywork, but I’d still like those to be a little beefier. Paint has been a sore spot for me with “desert pin-striping”.

Warfare doesn’t solely exist on the battlefield. Information warfare is a thing, too.
I’m not saying this is the right approach, but Russia’s propaganda machine has undoubtably had a massive influence on its citizens and generated internal support for the war. Fighting in this area should not be overlooked.
That’s a good point! I immediately jumped to ATACMS since that seems to be the main disabler of Russian helicopters in the last month.
Must be HIMARS o’ clock
