Sure, all things being equal, you're right, stainless is better. But most stainless is unpainted. If it's sitting in a field, not getting damaged by rocks and such, id honestly trust a modern paint over stainless depending on the grade. High grade stainless is great. That's not what the cyber truck is made out of, though. Deloreans got rusty with stainless steel and they rusted without ever even going down gravel. To be fair I haven't checked on the quality of the stainless panels in either car. But, you do know that the frame and components aren't all stainless either, right? Also, don't be mad at me, I'm enjoying this conversation.

Well that all depends. 17 years old and rusting through, I'd say you're likely in a wet environment. Possibly near salt water. And it's moving a lot more than one would while in a field, sitting. I bet you drive on gravel a bit, yeah? Doing that also makes wheel wells rust out faster because even minute damage to the paint will make it rust pretty fast. So from my point of view, sitting in an unprotected field, I would take the Corvette over a cybertruck. It's a heavily painted fiberglass body over an alloy chassis. Honestly the more carbon fiber the car has, the more likely it is to be recognizable in 100 years. The point is, you'll see badly rusted cyber trucks pretty soon because it's actually quite a pain to maintain. Any dent or scratch will be rusted BAD if not rectified within 6 months or so in a wet environment, 18-24 if it's dry enough.

Don't devalue the Aztec for this. Yeah it was clad in tons of plastic and had a grill that was way too busy but it wasn't shockingly ugly like the cyber truck.

I used to build stainless steel farming equipment for industries like fertilizers and such. The acidic nature of which, would eat through paint. Stainless steel gas to be cleaned of that "surface rust" constantly or that rust will transfer to the stainLESS steel (note: not stainPROOF steel.) 100 years in the elements and no vehicle would be recognizable. Especially knowing the reaction of lithium to water.

Honestly if I weren't American, I would still keep up with American politics at the moment just for entertainment value, or to feel better about the situation im in. "Oof, America has it bad right now. Thank god I live in Sri Lanka!"

Depends. If it happens once, you're right. Nothing would change. But after the 2nd or 3rd time in a year? I think the people who inherit it will start seeing a little more charitably.
