🚔 Suspect in custody! :My Cybertruck got Keyed !!! Caught on Sentry Mode camera

False. The cold rolled stainless steel is really hard compared to paint and normal keys barely leave a mark. It can be polished right out as if it never happened, no need to repaint and blend the repainting in.

What ever you say bud ?

 

[Jack27]

You can scratch ‘some’ stainless but this isn’t your regular stainless.

Cool I will send you a photo of a scratch on my tail gate tomorrow
Edit I couldn’t wait and went outside
To take a photo only to remember I wrapped it so you can’t see it lol. To many drinks during the Bama game
?

Dude could have used something harder than a key.

Those saying a key will not do anything. Go test it for us on your truck and post some pictures. I just don’t believe that you can drag a key on the truck and not see anything.

I Don't know what the dirtbag used oops.. the upstanding shoe less crackhead.. oops this great outstanding person used ...
its not a matter what the tool it was... a key, a knife, a rock ... the fact is he vandalized my truck with a tool that left lasting effect on me and my truck.
I don't know what it was but it penetrated the stainless steel to scratch my truck... it doesn't rub off as easy as a like a finger print does ( that's funny ) the metal was damaged.
to " Key a car " is to add damage to the surface of ones car / truck ...
the act of one doing that is what we should address not the tool he used...

Who said you wouldn't see anything?

Either way, we haven't seen anything because @Feartoy didn't include a picture!

Awesome!

Have you tried rubbing it with anything?

I'm extremely certain that can be buffed out. It does not look very deep. I'm sorry this happened but take it to a service center and they will take care of it.

All I was doing was replaying something the Tesla chief engineer said many months ago. I hope it is true. I know that nothing has scratched my truck to date in a way that I have noticed, but I bought a stainless steel truck so that I wouldn’t have to worry about scratches and dents.

Just the good old spit and rub.. ya tried to hand polish it out with mild stuff and the pics are after that effort I think it needs to be sanded and blended in. their is a fine line where it is and the light grabs it. just sucks...

I don’t think that anyone here is doubting you, and I am sure that we would all feel as violated were it done to our trucks. What I am concerned about is the assurance from Tesla that it would be very difficult to scratch this car, so I do wonder what was used. More importantly, to some degree, at least for you, is the police apprehending this person and prosecuting the crime.
