For the record, no, unlike the DeLorean, the Cybertruck will not become a cult car. For the simple reason that Musk has sold too many of them. They only made fewer than 10,000 DeLoreans. When you make a shitty yet deceptively cool-looking lemon and sell a vanishingly small number of them, that's a mysterious exotic that people can fantasize about. When you make a shitty lemon and sell hundreds of thousands of them, what you've made is a shitty lemon that everyone has seen rusting in a driveway, barreling down the highway with a loose body panel, or gently attempting to full self drive itself directly over a child.

I saw a cybertruck in the wild the other day and this rust thing is going to be hilarious because I live in canada and our roads are like 75% ice and 25% rock salt for like 4 months out of the year

Yeah, the delorean had an actual clear coat so they didn't literally start rusting as soon as they rolled off the factory, and their status as a rare car made people take care of them. All the base model cybertrucks are going to be junk in a few years because you can't reasonably keep the body panels clean.

Plus, it's an EV. The batteries will go and Tesla will not replace them because by that time it'll be too embarrassing.

It also doesn't help that it is a truck versus a luxury vehicle/super car. People will want to do truck things with it which are activities involving mud, dirt, snow, salt, sand, you know, all the things that exacerbates rusting.
