Has anyone noticed rust on the lower part of their doors where the seal meetings the panels? I live in Ohio so my truck has seen salt during the winter months. I am wondering if others are experiencing this too?

Crystals and debris can adhere from wetness. You'll want to wipe it off, this is a classic use for some acidic cleaner.

I don't know if it's common on cybertrucks, but other vehicles see this with lower, hidden surfaces; it's been observed on the seat pedestals in other Teslas. It's usually not enough to affect the lifetime of the vehicle.

Hasn't happened to mine (and I live in the Boston area). That looks like surface iron deposits and not the actual stainless steel rusting. Like Crissa said, clean it with some Citrisurf77 and you should be all good.
