Cybertruck and "Keying"

[TruckElectric]

I've seen more videos lately of Tesla's getting "keyed" so I'm sure it will happen to some CT owners at some point, or at least the attempt anyway.

So I'm wondering can a key do enough damage to the SS on a CT to be noticeable? If so could you buff it out?

Of course if you get a body wrap a person could do visible damage with a key.

If the idiot uses a key, and the key is typically softer than SS, the line left on the truck is from their key. Typically, can be buffed out.

If they use harder metals, idiots are idiots. if I had a solution for them, I would be Nobel prize famous.

Keys are the convenient tools for revenge seekers/haters available to them.

I suppose you could try keying an old stainless steel pot or pan to see how much damage you can do.

But body wraps leave you vulnerable to key attacks unfortunately.

Delivering a small electric shock while they are "keying" would be interesting to.watch on your camera playback while in sentry mode

Why stop at small? Its going to be illegal one way or another so you might as well make it memorable for them. Sadly they are likely to come back with something that can do some real damage.

Even if keying can't be buffed out it is nothing compared to a paint job.

I think keying is going to leave less damage than branches scratching the side of CT on a hunting road. I'll gladly wear 'em as a badge of honor.
After, of course, hunting the perp down and cutting him into little pieces... ?

We've done this experiment.

For real. Best deterrent. Shock the mofos. Batmobile did this I think... Insult to injury, the camera records it and uploads it to local police. And Youtube. Or directly to their Facebook story.

Could the solution be that of 100% southern end of a north bound skunk, applied liberally?

Nice Pink Floyd reference but you only need trim a "little piece" to be effective.

Most automotive keys are made of chrome plated brass, which should be softer than the stainless steel skin, A key may leave a line behind that can be buffed off with a Scotchbrite or Brillo pad.
