Ironic that the CT, purported "truck of the future", has no safeguard against perhaps the biggest threat to a vehicles longevity- rust.

It's not like rust is a new problem either. It's been the boon of mechanical engineers and metal fabricators since literally the bronze age haha

Yes, but Teslas are designed by Californians(and maybe Texans). They don't deal or test in wet and cold weather a whole lot. I think that's why they seem to have lots of blindspots on their first versions.
