      Paint?

      These dumpsters are made of bare stainless steel. If you see a colored one, it’s probably wrapped. In this case, it looks like they wrapped over the lights and the heat deformed the vinyl.

        I can’t believe that the light bar would generate enough heat to cause that sort of damage. All the lights on other models of Tesla’s are LED, which generates very little heat. I can’t believe they’d use something other than LEDs here as well.

          Light focused in the right way can generate ample heat even if produced by a low-heat source, like an LED.

            I work regularly with theatrical LED lighting fixtures. They’re downright cold compared to halogen stage lights.

              Correct. However my 11 year old son plays with an LED flashlight and a magnifying glass and it is downright scary what he can fuck up.

          I envy you. When I go out and take care of errands and stuff in downtown LA, I almost always see at least 1.

    Wonder if it was vandalized. I haven’t heard of this defect so someone could have taken a torch to it. It actually improves the looks, makes it look more like a piece of shit.

    Things look like they were made out old stainless panels taken from scrap refrigerators and ovens using a sheet metal brake.

      First impressions: “I see! It looks like something from a futuristic warzone!”

      After seeing how it works in real life: “Oh. It… It looks like something out of a warzone. Yeah, there was a small problem with this logic.”
