For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Is that rust on the front of the "truck"?

Real question: how can you tell the difference between rust and a supposed patina that forms and changes over time? I'm not talking about Cybertrucks, those are just rusting. But some chromium based metals supposedly can do this over time and can look like rust initially. Does rust usually cause pitting or flaking?

No, patina is a thin layer of oxidation on top of the actual material from contact with the air.

Rust is corrosion from air + moisture, and causes pitting and flaking. Patina should just sit over the surface, but not distort the thing it's on.

There is more nuance to it, but patina is on top, rust is the actual thing turning into rust

Thanks. I've got a metal decoration made from weathering steel that has what appears to be rust spots all over it. Allegedly it will do this onto the entire surface and eventually fade into a darker color. But it's been pretty slow. But no putting or flaking at least.

Don't worry, that's normal. It's maturing.
