Stainless would be standard on economy cars, and the Cybertruck would be painted so as not to look like a Ford Pinto.

Wait, not sure I understand you. Where are stainless panels used on economy cars?

Not sure I follow your ford pinto comment either.

If unpainted stainless were actually cheaper then it would be the standard on cheap cars.
