"Tesla said Thursday it would recall nearly all the Cybertrucks it has produced to repair a stainless steel trim panel that the carmaker said could become detached from the vehicle while driving. It’s the eighth recall for the distinctive all-electric pickup, which hit US roads just over two years ago."

"If deliveries are dropping even with those new incentives, it’s a clear sign that the #Cybertruck program is in distress...

#Tesla set up production at Gigafactory #Texas to be capable of 250,000 units per year... and it is now having issues selling the truck at a rate of 40,000 units per year."

This excellent youtube video by a critical cybertruck owner goes over every major body panel which is glued on.

It's clearly possible to rip off some of these panels by hand.

Kinda surprised they haven't started walking off the trucks given how easy some of them come off.

Most panels appear to be easily pealed off part of the way.

There's been reports for over ten months and the glue quality not being up to the job. While most of the larger panels do have a few weld points the rear quarter panels only have a few small welds with the majority of the panel actually being held in with glue.

LMAO, Tesla owners have been saying all week that the reports of Cybertrucks rapidly disassembling themselves on the highway was fake news.

Turns out Cybertrucks are infact falling apart because the GLUE that holds the stainless steel panels in place can't survive winter temps 🫠.

Can't imagine any other car owners defending the car maker for their $100k+ ride falling the fuck apart every winter.
