Elon Musk loves steel. The rockets of his company Space-X are built from it. So why not a truck? But it wasn’t that easy. The idea for the futuristic Cybertruck was this: the car should have a so-called exoskeleton, i.e. it should be held together from the outside, not by load-bearing elements on the inside. However, this required a particularly hard steel mixture. This led to two things: Firstly, to the angular shape. The hard steel cannot be shaped in the usual presses. On the other hand, there is a small aesthetic problem: rust. Some owners of the expensive electric cars are now reporting, more or less disappointedly, traces of rust on the steel surfaces.
