My 3 hour test drive of the Cybertruck

I think you are right, I do know 304 SS does rust but it does not rust out like carbon steel. 316 doesn't. rust but is "brittle" I suppose 30X SS is somewhere in between I'll ask grok about 30x SS. Nevertheless I think like you say use BKF and Citrisurf.
I've decided not to wrap so ceramic coat is the thing to do.. That takes care of seagull poop too. we have ceramic coated the 4 year old Y twice now and it works great. Do you have a brand of ceramic coat to get. Good luck with it and be sure too post about it.

I'm going with "Clean" ceramic coating, when I can find a nice indoor space to apply it lol

This drive was mid day around noon with a lot of traffic.

My question is did you guys have the same experience I had when you first drove the cybertruck and did it take much getting used to. First of all I've not driven a full size pickup in 7 years and the CT sure seemed big. I think It will take some getting used too all over again.
I couldn't quite tell where I was in the process of getting into parking stalls. there are a multitude of camera views on the display screen which will take some time getting used to also.

The rear wheel steering did not seem to help as much as I thought it would, but that ghostly looking overhead view definitely helped parking.

The Texas Sun was directly overhead and man it was definitely hot in the cabin, Please tell me I can buy some kind of screen for the overhead glass.

The inability to see the corners because of the A pillars blocking the view that Sandy Munro talked about on his first drive is really a thing. I hope the cameras can take care of it and that I learn to easily switch camera views to see it. Perhaps one gets used to it and just knows where the left or right nose is with out having to look at the camera front camera view.

All things considered though I really liked the truck. It was very quiet, smooth riding, and very comfortable I need to have a 48 hour test drive. Not sure my wife would drive it because it's big like the Tundra we had seven years ago.

This truck fills the need to replace my nearly 8 year old Ridgeline which doesn't have all the driver assist features that I think a 78 year old guy needs.

At our age Full Self Driving is the only way to go. Let the Beast drive you - you deserve it.... I've had mine a year now. Taking the mirrors off does help see out the sides and the"ghostly surround" is great too.. The screen and cameras show you everything you need to "supervise your truck".. just be the co-pilot...let it do all the work...

@roadrunner32, my wife went from not sure she'd ever drive it to preferring it over our Model S Plaid (which has been relegated to whoever is last picking a vehicle lol). It's hard to quantify why it's so great, but there's something special about the Cybertruck.

My buddy who's driven every GM/GMC full size pickup truck and F150 (and has an F250 right now) says it's the best truck he's ever driven.

Like someone else said, it takes a few days, but then you're hooked.
