This is a non story. Dude got some cheap large fridge-style magnets for marketing, and they left a bit of residue.
Them being magnets has nothing to do with what happened, and the damage is not nearly as bad as pictures in the lead image.
If the Cybertruck wasn’t such a grocery hauler, I don’t think anybody would even notice this.
I had no expectations going into this comment section.
Yet, lo and behold, I am disappointed to learn the existence of "cybertruckownersclub".
Had to hunt down the original forum thread after seeing this story posted a few weeks ago.
I think it's pretty obvious why none of the news outlets covering this are including the original photo. Even this article embeds an 8 minute video of a dude talking about it without embedding the original pic.
