There's damage and there's damage. If the cybertruck advents a culture of dents and dings being ok on vehicles that's a net positive. Perfection is not only a fools errand, but a burden. It makes the barrier of entry to enjoyment that much higher. Let your bumper get bumped, it's all better that way anyways.
Sadly, It does the opposite. Dings and uneven grain in stainless drives people crazy. Think how many kitchen sinks have been replaced by a similar one because it 'looks old'. A look at the delorean market confirms that.
I joke that the scratches, dents, and rust spots on my old vans are 'patina'. I think that its okay with work vehicles because up until recently no one bought them because they're wow pretty. Compare a dented truck with a Lexus with body damage. The Cyber truck is probably a lot more like a Lexus than a pickup truck.
Yeah, because your truck isn't uncoated stainless. There's a deep psychological reason why painted steel develops a patina with abuse but we overwhelmingly find dented stainless ugly and unsettling.
the nominal point of the Truck, conceptually, is that it is a rugged work vehicle that can, if needed, take a beating. hauling heaving things, going off road, carrying construction supplies, etc.
