    I don’t know if you’ve ever owned anything with brushed stainless panels, but ding-proof they are not, and they’re generally WAY more noticeable. They also still need to be clear coated, otherwise every panel will become discolored over time.

      Yeah I don’t care about that. My issue with my current truck is many of the places (50?) where I’ve scratched the paint off, and cleaned/re-painted it as soon as I could, have started to rust - which is probably going to result in the car being sold for scrap metal even though it’s still perfectly drivable. Eventually that rust is going to become more than just a cosmetic problem and the car definitely isn’t worth the time required to fix it properly (cut out the rust and put new sheet metal in it’s place).

      I won’t be buying a cybertruck… but I definitely would prefer stainless steel over mild steel body panels. I’d like aluminium even better (stainless steel does still rust, just not as easily).

      As long as they are a bit thicker than what typically is on a car, I’d be happy. Paint is also a huge PITA for me - I’d rather just have raw stainless rather than colored streaks on paint. That’s just my preference, though.
