    Cybertruck spots/corrosion

    One of the main appeals to me of the CT was that (I thought) I wouldnt have to baby it (washing, waxing, etc) due to a lack of paint, and being made with the same steel used to make rocketships to outerspace. So much for that.

    The main reason they shrank the CT was to fit in the Boring tunnel - that likely meant not only reducing its width but also its length to fit in the elevators.

I think what is confusing/throwing me off is in the photo, the wheel wells appear to be part of the "exoskeleton" (using Teslas word for it) whereas in the graphic I referenced (which I think also originally came from Tesla?), the wheel wells are clearly part of the casting attached to...
