    Stainless steel is resistant to a certain degree of corrosion depending on the specific type of steel. If Tesla went with a steel that’s resistant enough to handle rainwater but not resistant enough to handle salted roads or salty maritime air then their cars can rust even if they’re made with genuine stainless steel.

    Of course that still means they chose the wrong steel.
