The videos give a glimpse of the owner’s guide, which states: "To prevent damage to the exterior, immediately remove corrosive substances (such as grease, oil, bird droppings, tree resin, dead insects, tar spots, road salt, industrial fallout, etc.).”

So, almost everything that it might come into contact with corrodes it. A1.

A1 is stainless steel 303, the cybertruck is made from some kind of 301. I think A1 would be even worse but I both are apparently not well suited for the task.

I know. Sorry.
