I'm having difficulty figuring out who originally posted these photos, but the fact that it was captured from two angles makes me think it's legit.

It's stainless steel, so steel wool, barkeepers friend, and 5 minutes of scrubbing from the owners day-laborer gardner is going to clean that off. If you want to permanently etch stainless steel you're going to need acid gloves, a Mason jar of Hydrochloric acid, and a Tampico fiber acid brush. :)

And, for the record I'm just here to provide helpful facts and safety tips. I would never ever condone or encourage any bsky user collect the materials and then research how to use them safely to cause irreparable damage to an IncelCamino. So nobody do that, It's not cool. Think of the children.

    The owner should be thankful for the free paint job that will keep his car from rusting. He parked it under a tree, that warranty is gone.

      He parked it under a tree, that warranty is gone.

      "The damage to my roof isn't covered by the warranty?"

      "That is correct. The warranty does not cover such damage."

      "Why?"

      "Analysis found amounts of bird feces and tree sap."

      "You're kidding."

      "No, I am not kidding. Please refer to the 'parking' section of your warranty."

      "But how... Oh, I think I understand. If I park under a tree - it voids my warranty?"

      "The word 'void' is incorrect but—"

      "That's fucking ridiculous!"

      Without missing a beat "But analysis found amounts of bird feces and tree sap... Click." The Tesla customer service rep actually says the word click and then they hang up.

    SMH, reply guy going off about what it takes to etch high quality stainless steel (ymmv) for a truck that rusts when it rains.

      Yeah, wouldn't it have been more effective to write it in Vaseline so that the "FUCK YOU" part is the only section that doesn't rust in the rain (EDIT: and/or mist from a spray bottle filled with pickle brine)?
