You're correct. A comment in the hn link linked to a forum post. Here's the actual damage:

you have to be kidding. I've gotten worse on my car from... literally nothing. I don't even know where it came from, but I guess that's why I always buy used lol

I think I've seen that before. Wonder if it's the same truck or if it's happened to multiple people. I imagine similar people buy cybertrucks as bought Hummers, and many of those were also advertising.

It's completely unrelated to the forum post that they're reporting on. The actual story is some minor discoloration under where advertising magnets were placed.
