Looks cooler than the standard color
Yeah this is a dope paint job on any car.
the standard color
Stainless steel is not a color.
The standard colour is the colour of stainless steel, now stop being such a pedant.

What do you think color is?
rust is, though.
It’s rustic.
I know that Cybertruck rusting is a fun narrative but it’s also not true.
Rust does indeed form on the surface of the body panels but it’s not the panels that are rusting. It’s the iron particles mostly from brake discs that are suspended in the air and land on the vehicle. These particles then react with the stainless steel causing rust to form. However this is just surface contamination which can be easily cleaned off. These same particles, called “fallout” get stuck to the paintjob of all cars and that’s why there are cleaning products specifically meant for getting rid of them. With other vehicles the rusting simply doesn’t occur due to the particles not making contact with metal because they have paint and clearcoat on them.
I have seen 304 stainless rust and rust so badly it gave out. There is a reason why anything that can rust near the ocean (where the bulk of the US population does live) has to be painted.
Yeah I’m not claiming that stainless steel can’t corrode. It can. This is usually due to galvanic series where two different kinds of metals are in contact and the less noble one starts to corrode. Kind of like iron particles on stainless steel. You can leave the car in the rain and it wont rust. This only occurs when there’s surface contaminates that react with the stainless steel panels.
I have seen with my own eyes control panels made of 304 corrode without touching a different metal.
I believe you. I’m just not sure why you’re telling me this. At no point have I claimed that stainless steel is immune to corrosion.
christ, I feel like every time I hear anything new about brake particles, I wonder why we haven’t moved to some other material for them yet. ceramics, regenerative brakes that just charge a small battery or capacitor or something, that just exists on the wheel, fuckin something.
It’s surface rust is you clean it off immediately. Those rust particles will cause the stainless itself to rust if left in the surface.
Tell that to Pantone 877C

Looks like battleship gray.
Pretty much any color is better than that ugly gray.
Don’t get me wrong. I support my LGBTQ group(s).
But I can’t unsee a trashcan on wheels that now has a pride flag car wrap.
trashcan on wheels
That’s actually a great fade.
Makes me wonder if it’s a wrap, not paint.
It has to be a wrap. Stainless steel does not take paint well at all due to the constant oxidative coating on its surface.
Is that why my stainless steel providers charge more for paint vs carbon steel painting?

How the hell should I know?
Was just curious

I’ve noticed, on ones I’ve seen in person and online, the paint job makes a huge, huge difference. Black ones look pretty good. Someone has a dark red one by me that’s just less bad.
I am glad they are starting to paint them, maybe it will slow down the rust.
Hold on. Apologies for being out of the loop, but do people really bring sexual fetish stuff to a pride parade?
And if so, what does that have to do with LGBTQ+?
Imho there are two angles to this question:
- First, queer folks are more likely to be kinky. Since they had to figure out what clicks for them at least once, they tend to do it on multiple aspects of their identities.
- Secondly - and this one is more of a personal standpoint - I’d argue that kinks fall under the wider umbrella of queerness or GRSM (Gender Relational and Sexual Minorities which I find way better than an enumeration acronym).
I’d also advocate for including neurodivergences under the queer brand too for instance.

Think you should ask them first, but no one ever asks the autistic anything
Unless it’s Etymology Nerd, in which case the answer is “I made a creole of my bird and dolphin languages.” and it’s glorious.
Can recommend his videos, they are excellent.
I asked myself and then said yes. :p
Thanks for the answer. Although, I still don’t really get it.
I’ve heard that the kink community has a rule that people shouldn’t expose their fetishes to non-consenting strangers. Why on pride parades then? Isn’t engaging in these sort of activities here kind of wrong, like how you can’t just go out nude or have sex in public?
It really depends on where you are and what sort of Pride event it is. If it’s a Pride march with lots of corporate sponsors, then you’ll see very little kink, maybe someone in full rubber, but probably no jockstraps. If it’s a ticketed gay village party, or a circuit party, you’ll definitely see some more risque kink gear being worn. If you’re at Folsom or in Berlin, there’s whole parades dedicated to kink, but even the straight public know about that, so if they don’t like it, they can avoid the area during those events.
And how do you feel about the marches or rather individuals in these marches that go to far? To be clear I’m not talking about the people who wear rubber suits.
Where is the widespread problem of kink in the streets? I’ve never heard of a huge kink problem at pride events other than pearl clutching mothers who object to queer people in public in general.
I wouldn’t classify the behavior of these specific individuals as “kink”… , I wouldn’t even classify them as necessarily apart of LGBTQ+ either. I’m not saying it’s common either, I’m mearly ask how you feel about them. I’m referring to the specific cases of individuals who take the opportunity to put on displays of public nudity & indecent exposure outside the bonds of the law. And I’m not referring to Will Walters; butt cheeks is not nudity.
Where are you seeing a large number of kinky people causing real problems in public?
My point is that you seem to be worried about an imaginary issue that, at worst, is something that is isolated to specific pride events that are geared towards adult sexual expression. Just because it makes you uncomfortable or you don’t consider it LGBTQ doesn’t mean it needs to be changed.
Define too far.
Let me also ask you what you think about nude bike rides, where dozens, if not hundreds, of people cycle nude through a city. Is that too much for you?
I’m not OP, but just wanted to say, I perceive any nudity in public too far. Maybe it’s cultural.
Having their genitalia out is too far. Butts and tits are not genitalia. What else is going too far is burning down a fucking Park.
Let me also ask you what you think about nude bike rides, where dozens, if not hundreds, of people cycle nude through a city. Is that too much for you?
Nope, that can easily be exempt as a form of artistic expression and doesn’t fit into the type of actions I’m referring to. If you’ve seen the images it’s very clearly artistic expression no different from the body paint artists that are also in Seattle.
What has a fire in a park got to do with what we’re discussing?
Nudity at Pride is rare, can happen, but it’s not exclusive to Pride. And also something that I think attitudes should change on. Nudity is not something that people should fear, nor should they be shamed if they are happy being nude.
This is my personal opinion and it might not reflect the wider community’s. I’m not even giving a straight answer, just some points to think about ^^
First and foremost Pride isn’t a singular event. Some are more celebratory and family friendly. But imho it’s original purpose is a protest and protests aren’t subject to the same rules as other places and times. e.g. you don’t tend to shout in the street everyday.
Secondly this rule as an absolute doesn’t make a lot of sense. Even without critiquing the wider society’s rules a choker isn’t the same as a full puppy outfit. (and tbf I don’t see the issue with pups, it’s just dress up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Lastly, I personally find that view kinda rooted in puritanism. Why should it be shameful in the first place? It kinda has “don’t ask don’t tell” vibes.
Lastly, how do you precisely define what’s a kink and what’s not?
I’ve yet to see a Pride event that didn’t have it, even in relatively conservative cities like Houston.
And if so, what does that have to do with LGBTQ+?
What does dressing up as an Astronaut have to do with All Hallow’s Eve? It’s a big party and people are expressing themselves. You don’t have to take it farther than that.
Of course the most fabulous looking cyber truck is gay 🏳️🌈❤️
No amount of color or flair can make one of those look good. They are the ugliest vehicle I’ve ever seen and I see dozens of over sized bro dozers everyday.
They look awful in promotional photos, but it’s shocking how much more bizarre they look IRL when surrounded by normal vehicles.
I was surprised by how small they are. They’re basically the size of a crossover or smaller SUV. They certainly aren’t the size of other “pickup” trucks in the US
I always get surprised by how big they look because for some reason I keep thinking they’re small
Maybe it’s just the shock from seeing them in person and trying to figure out why my world is de-rendering
I told someone the other day they look like a cartoon dropped into reality
I usually think garish paint jobs ruin vehicles but in this case I think the paint job improves it. I also think if Elon sees this he’ll burst a blood vessel so bonus points for that. No paint job will make me not hate the CT and anyone who buys one though.
Hate anyone who buys a cybertruck? Haven’t they suffered enough already? How about we focus our hate on the company and not the folks buying it. Where’s all the hate for Dupont, Tyson’s Chicken, etc? The worst thing about Cyber Truck is Elons mouth
I’m surprised it can pull something as heavy as a float.
The cybertruck’s shape handles that rainbow paint job better than any other shape
Over-under for how long it will take Musk to threaten to sue this owner under some early adopter clause like the one preventing resales?
I am starting to think he is not the nicest person.
I came here to make a similar comment in the picture before I scrolled down and realized there was already a similar comment that was literally part of the picture.
make the comment. you deserve it.

How did they get a Cyberderp to tow a float down a street without it breaking down? Is it powered by fairy wishes and unicorn farts?
It’s a Pride Parade miracle
And it was that the cyber truck only had the ability to work for one day of pride survived 8 days of pride. A sign from on high of his covenant with the people. Which is why we light the cybertruck-candles for eight days of pride in remembrance
I have a guess that person’s humiliation kink involves them having to shell out a lot of money on constant repairs.
You guys sound like the crazy hillbillies hating on EV cars. Cybertruck is weird and dumb in many real life aspects but the hate it gets by the Lemmy mob is just dumb and idiotic. Borderline cult like, ironically
The driver has it floored to reach that 5 MPH parade crawl.
