    The sudden temperature change which causes frost to form on the outside of the vehicle would rust the Cybertruck clean through.

      Unfortunately it might do the same to a Delorean.

      Musk stole the “untreated metal sheet” body from the Delorean. Not a single unique thought there.

        If I understand correctly, Deloreans used a better alloy that was properly stainless.

          I cannot confirm nor deny this, but the fact remains that Deloreans still exist today. And I do not recall ever hearing any stories about rust. Which, given its infamy, one would think would have been part of the lore by now if it was a thing.

            They are from stainless panels glued to a glass fibre body. Sink it into the fead sea and watch it vanish… or wait 20 years and any ocean will do.

    When they eventually do the garbage remake of this movie, it should be THE LIBYANS driving the Cybertruck, and Doc’s Time Machine car will be the old VW bus. If it gets to ~40 mph, then you travel slightly back in time, but you have to be smoking a joint and the flux capacitor is an original NES running Metroid.

      Hey, my 1976 VW Bus could do 88mph (on a german Autobahn)… but only a rich heir could pay for the gas it guzzled from 65 mph on… or you had to be 1000% fearless.
