     Looks cooler than before at least.
     Which isn't hard, but still.

     @kaia I am certainly no fan of Elon Musk, and don't like cars in general, but still. This seems to be a misunderstanding or intentionally misleading, though. The picture is of a "wrap" for the Cybertruck, intentionally made to look like that. Not related to the magnet incident.

     @HSTG @kaia 304 and 316 actually becomes magnetic as soon as you put a bend in it, although the magnetism so weak that you probably won't even notice when checking with magnet.

     @Suiseiseki
     Took the words out of my mouth. Stainless steel that is magnetic has always been considered garbage....as far as stainless steel goes.
