    Why would Tesla store these outside like this? Isn’t that just asking for the finish to start looking like shit?

      Even when you buy a new car at a dealership, someone details it just before you pick it up. Since Tesla doesn’t rely on traditional dealerships, apparently they thought this would be a suitable alternative, since the Cybertrucks would be washed before delivery anyway.

      Dealerships do outside storage, too… except they put the vehicles on their own purpose-built property with security systems in place, instead of using random empty parking lots. Maybe next time Tesla will hire a damn security guard.

        That makes sense. I’m talking about the notoriously sensitive finish on these though. Maybe that’s overblown?

          Maybe it is. Or, maybe Tesla should have rented warehouse space to keep them out of the weather, but they took the cheaper route.

      All the cars are usually outside in rain, sunshine or snow. If your car isn’t fresh off the assembly line which happens when you special order, your car spent time in a parking lot outside.
