Or, indeed, that Volvo’s manufacturing quality had declined to the point that the cars themselves were shipping with their bodies literally already rusting

This is absolutely how I initially read it. I’m surprised the title was approved by their comms team!

Huh interesting observation. I wonder if anything in the first two sentences of the article can shed any light.

In my job I get to speak to lots of people about Rust. Some are just starting out, some have barely ever heard of it, and then some people are running Rust silently in production at a very large company in a very serious product.

Yeah I've definitely heard of people "running (iron oxide) silently in production". Super ambiguous

It's almost as if it was an intentional artistic choice in phrasing... /s
