You've heard of a captive market? Tesla has a voluntarily captive market. Social scientist could write multi-volume books about all this.

Yes, yes it does. Rubbing steel wool on stainless steel embeds a bunch of tiny steel dust on the stainless and that dust corrodes like crazy. It'll give you a bunch of pins of rust with a blotchy appearance.

Contrast to someone like Cleetus who does stupid poo poo but that is clearly an act, when he drops it Garret isnt an idiot (except when it comes ot Covid) and also given he has almost never has had employee turnover, treats his staff at least like they are human.

Ahahaha if they really try that, leaving it masked during transport, PDI is going to be hell. Sunlight cures the adhesive on the film and makes it very hard to remove. Sheetmetal fabricators know what I'm talking about. I think a week of sunlight is enough to bake it on.

wesleywillis posted:If it wasn't a land rover I would for novelty purposes. They did! That LR seems to be using implement wheels - the Challenger guys went so far as to find a maker of authentic Amish buggy wheels, but in steel. And the burnout basically dug through the asphalt. fake edit: gently caress, Humphreys is right, that was Whistlin Diesel. Also won't link. Dude in the LR is finding out that steel wheels have very little traction. BuckyDoneGun posted:I dunno if he does this because he's a true believer or to wind up "wokes", but either way...

Just-In-Timeberlake posted:lmao Tesla stans are now claiming the rust is from rail dust I was grinding railing posts on my porch, leaving little bits of metal dust everywhere without realizing it. Two weeks later, there are uncleanable rust dots on vinyl floor, railings, siding, basically everywhere. It's extremely annoying because the whole mess could have been avoided if I knew better. So it's definitely a possibility. However, the same metal dust would have been on other parts of the vehicle, not just panels. Also any other vehicle transported in the same manner would have been affected.

I spent about six months welding and grinding the body of my Econoline, creating piles of metal dust in the process. Although diligent in sweeping and vacuuming it up off of my concrete driveway it was impossible to get it all, I still wound up with a spray of rust staining on the pavement. You can see it to the left & ahead of the truck  However, there wasn't a speck of rust on the truck itself.

I clay bar all my non stainless steel cars specifically to remove rail dust before it rusts. It’s a thing.
