Does this mean this car can’t be keyed?

Normal keys shouldn’t be able to scratch the body, right?

Unless your key is a metal ball

well played...

Put this puppy in Sentry mode and nobody will even think of keying it. That's a problem with the other Teslas. They don't project the kind of authority we will need in coming years. This vehicle is prophetic. Those prototype windows aside, it emanates the sort of bone crushing, drive through tacky house walls and over nomad tents strength that says "I'm ready for it all". Comfortably seat 5 officers and 3500 lbs of combatant robots. Zombie apocalypse? no problem.

It CAN be keyed, and you might not notice. And if you do notice, I think you won't care.

Or maybe you'll do it yourself to add to the character.

Aluminum definitely can be keyed

 

[RandyS]

No aluminum in sight...

Right, the keys would have to be made of out something harder than the cold-rolled steel to scratch the body right?

No, the key will just show more wear/damage than the hard stainless.

According to DeLorean owners, stainless still will show a slight scratch, but can be buffed out with 3M "Scotch Brite" pads.
