    Not a musk fan, but all these rust problems could have been avoided if the buyers just ponied up another $5,000 for a clear coat.

    Even though it’s a really crappy money grab, technically the rust problem isn’t tesla fault per se.

        I mean it’s teslas fault they’re cheap skate assholes, but it’s technically your fault you didn’t buy the clear coat. It’s not like the option wasn’t there.

        I honestly figured people who bought it like that were going to apply their own finishes to it, not just let it rust. It’s not like stainless steel is actually stainless.

        I suppose the fact they bought the damn thing in the first place should have been my first clue.

          No it is not your fault. You should not be expected to buy a car with the expectation that it will rust immediately unless you pay thousands of dollars more. That’s essentially saying you’re going to have something broken unless you pay extra.
