Turns out that drag race was actually 1/8mi
It still a stupid metric, but it's funny how they had to lie about it.

The rear axle steer components weren't strong enough to handle the abuse.

They'll fix the wheel falling off issue in the next software update.

Tesla brake performance for all their cars has been a problem hahahaha
The rotors by themselves are never enough, I am sure the Tesla engineer says they calculate the braking force in conjunction with the regen braking, because in Teslas you can't turn the regen off, so it will always be part of the "braking system" on top of the frictional brakes.

I was going to say, the regen probably takes a good chunk of the load. Today’s cars brakes are massive. Really only required for track use.

You almost never use the brakes in a tesla.

They did say they pushed the truck very hard and to the limits since product development depends on this.

A sway bar end link won’t cause an issue. I fact it’ll probably help. Lol

Saw a Cybertruck parked at work today. Really threw me off. "Who left a fridge in an EV charging space?!"
It's a lot smaller in person than I thought. Doesn't seem in person much bigger than a Tacoma if at all. Interior room seems similar if not smaller. Might be something to do with that sharply sloping roofline.
In the distance and out on the street though, looks massive.

Now there's a shop that's making bank off whatever they normally do every day with diesel trucks. But also somehow bored at the same time.
Living in Woods Cross, Utah probably helps with both of those things.

It's stain less not no rust. Put it through the rigors of daily use I'm not surprised an unprotected steel panel would get some surface rust.
EDIT: Other thing to keep in mind, the surface of the stainless steel isn't non-stick either. Environment contaminants will stick on it and cause rust like looking spots. Anyone who drives a white car and lives or works near a railroad would know. My white MS3 was covered in orange rust spots because I worked in produce alley right next to the train tracks, but it's actually just contaminants and some elbow grease with a clay bar will take it all off.

I also suspect it's just normal contaminants from the road. Iron remover is not cheap to use on the regular.

Remember that there are different grades of stainless.
The Cybertruck is what? 301?
There's a reason they use 316 for marine parts.

These things are a fucking month old lol. If only they had figured out something to put on the metal body panels of cars that would prevent them from rusting in a month of use. Is there a software update for that maybe?
These things are just pure trash hahahaha.
