Comment on Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks ever made over trim falling off | Electrek

Here is a guy explaining the problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WldSl3HGr8
It appears multiple panels on the truck are just glued on which is crazy. Will Tesla just slather on bunch more glue and call it good? That seems like a bandaid over a pretty major problem. I’ll be sure to have a large distance between my car and one of these shitty truck on the road in case they decide to shed some large panels.

Staying away from cybertrucks is just good sense anyway. They’re being driven by morons and are NOT safe to be in a collision with. S’why they’re not road legal in the EU - they’re too dangerous to things they collide with.

Glue is commonly used in vehicle manufacturing to bond panels together. It’s typically stronger than welding, and is often used in the vehicle’s structural pieces as well.
The problem with the Cyberdumpster is that they used shitty glue.

According to the article I read yesterday they are adding stronger glue and a bolt.

That is also what this article says.
Although a single bolt is going to need to be quite strong to hold down a long piece of steel exposed to high speed wind regularly.

Let’s hope they won’t cheap out on those bolts. Thankfully cheaping out on everything is not an habit they have, right?

Nono. Not bolts.
A. Bolt.

They probably had some office assistant order a pallet of bolts from Home Depot.
This is the company that glued the accelerator pedal on, you think they know what grade of bolt they need?

High speed wind hitting a car? A chance in a million!

One bolt is probably find if the panel isn’t catching wind. But if that thing gets damaged it’s likely to shear off at speed. Stay away from dented cyber trucks!
