It fails in every way it can. It's dangerous and there's plenty of stories of it breaking down several miles from the lot. No paint means that it will rust. Apparently you can get a clear coat added to it but it costs 5k. It's massive and even though it's a truck the bed is too small to really do much. Not having a normal steering wheel and all the controls being on the screen means you are constantly looking away from the road while driving. These are just the issues I remember off the top of my head. It was some manchild with too much money's random idea that never should have been made.
Not quite correct. Stainless steel, even the best quality, is rust resistant. Even the best quality will rust in the right conditions. That's why it's so stupid for them to have decided that since it's stainless steel there's no need for it to get a protective coating or paint.
Fair enough. I tend to forget about the DeLorean lol. I'm an electrical and computer engineer so I don't tend to work with a lot of different types of materials. But with the little I work with even I knew it would have rust issues from the very beginning since there was no way they would spring for the material quality they needed to.
I was thinking this when I went to the beach for the 4th. Here there are houses literally on the sand and one of those had a cyber truck parked 10 ft from the same. The air gets so salty and humid, you could already tell it was starting to get affected.
