Cost is an issue but the primary reason is strength and formability.

Most structural components now range from 590MPA to 1000MPA tensile strength.

Stainless is relatively hard to work with. Welding, forming, producing, and protecting stainless are all notably harder than structural or mild steel.

Plus, rust isn't the same as it used to be. Cars that don't have design faults are rusting far less than they used to; better coatings/paint maybe, idk. Usually the drivetrain and suspensions bits shit the bed before rust becomes an issue, and the whole car gets replaced.

Oh, that too. Stainless is harder to recycle.

Just undercoat your shit once every year (or every 2 years if you don't have a guarantee to protect). Wash your car in the spring. Not fucking hard.

>Why isn't this a thing?
Why use stainless steel when there is aluminum? Many cars have aluminum exterior parts now. A lot of cars have aluminum hoods and aluminum trunk lids. Certainly the Ford F-150 is famous for its aluminum cargo bed.

Chromium oxide is almost impermeable to oxygen, same with aluminum oxide. The fact that they both oxidize so rapidly is what protects them.
