It brings me great joy to see all the smug douche bags who bought one sight-unseen being shown a bit more of the picture describing how how gullible and foolish they were with each passing day.

Didn’t the DeLorean have the same problem?
They did. Amongst other issues.
DeLoreans, early-production models in particular, suffered from poor build quality as well as mechanical issues.
This quote ist taken from the English Wikipeda Article. In the German Wikipeda Article quality issues are described more detailed: many issues involved the gull-wing doors, which had a complicated opening mechanism that often jammed. Also one could injure their hand by closing the door, as it was too heavy. The German Wikipeda Article also mentioned, that, due to the choice of material for the body work, a proper alignment of the stainless steel panels was not to be expected.
Edit: to reference to the original question: I haven’t found any statements regarding to the pollution of the stainless steel body, but I can imagine that this car had the same issues the Cyber Truck is having.
Imma blow your mind, but all cars have this same problem. Literally any car that doesn’t have ppf film on it should have bird poop and bugs cleaned off ASAP. It will discolor your paint, make it chip easier, or at worst make it completely fall off in that spot. Especially if you live in an area where birds have access to berries and stuff that can make their poop even more acidic.
I remember seeing the reveal for this bizzarely marketed abomination live with my college buddies. Never laughed harder during a product reveal. Musk bragging the windows were bullet proof before promptly breaking a window while demonstrating was comedy GOLD.
I lost it when they broke the second window right after. It reminds me of the demo Bill Gates did where he got a BSOD.
They handled that so well. The “moving right along” and “that must be why we’re not shipping W98 yet” are the correct responses to this, instead of being sure it’s not real and throwing another ball at the window. Admittedly, they didn’t really have a choice to go again. It would have taken several minutes to reboot probably.
