Tesla has issued a recall for nearly all Cybertrucks manufactured so far, citing an issue with the stainless steel body panels detaching while driving. This is attributed to insufficiently durable glue used to attach the body panels. Experts in the automotive field find this particularly surprising, noting that adhesives are commonly used in car manufacturing with generally successful results. As a corrective measure, Tesla plans to replace the original adhesive with a more reliable option to prevent future occurrences of panel detachment.
Tesla is facing a recall for nearly all Cybertrucks manufactured to date due to stainless steel body panels detaching while driving, caused by inadequate glue.
The adhesive used in the Cybertruck is described as "susceptible to environmental embrittlement," leading to a replacement with a more robust glue solution.
Experts are baffled by this blunder, noting that while glues are common in car manufacturing, a failure like this is largely unheard of.
Dale Harrow from the Royal College of Art expressed surprise at Tesla's issue, highlighting that gluing panels together is a widely accepted practice in the industry.
