    Oh for sure, and I’m sure that someone told him what a bad idea it was, and that he was like “NO STAINLESS STEEL DOESN’T RUST YOURE FIRED”.

    like… Why else would they not even attempt to figure out how to apply a clear coat? Musk must have squashed any attempts.

      The thing is that he DeLorean DMC-12 was also built from uncoated brushed stainless-steel and it was terrible.

      The only reason why people remember the DMC was because it was such a failure and BTTF.

      The only reason it was in BTTF was because it was such a hilarious joke that a DMC could get above 60Mph in a mall carpark.
