Tesla to recall more than 46,000 Cybertrucks due to exterior panel issue

It boggles my mind that anybody thought gluing exterior panels to the car was a good idea. Not just trim, entire body panels. Any other vehicle has the body as part of the actual structure, but for some reason on this one they're just decorative cladding. Is there any good reason for this?

It&#x27;s a bit worse than that article makes it out to be. Other panels are falling off as well.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F5zdqfqs1o20d1.jpeg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F5...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=bjatlUkM0ng" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=bjatlUkM0ng</a>

Just remember, your Model 3, Y and X could have been significantly better for the same price had Tesla not built this piece of trash due to a ketamine addicted CEO, that streams playing video games for hours at a time.<p>Also lol @ this post instantly being forced off the front page.

That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

TSLA honestly feels like the next Enron.<p>Stock is overvalued to hell. Leadership continues to sell (AI, self driving vehicles, tesla pays for itself via taxi service, …) investors on new projects but ultimately failing to deliver to market.<p>The “Cybertruck” flop is just the most recent example.<p>Did you also catch the gaudy sales pitch Elon and Orange Man had on the _White House_ lawn? This company is a failure. Its leadership is clueless. It’s all built on a house of cards.

The flaggings will continue until morale improves.

Those are actual functioning vehicles, and not just props from Bladerunner?<p>A bicycle is by far more attractive that these oddities.

Tesla managed to fumble attaching flat metallic panels to a frame.<p>What a joke of a company. They survive on battery tech, and software, but the rest of their engineering is dismal.

Luckily I paid 8k extra for Full Self Driving, so my car can just drive itself to the dealership for the fix while I&#x27;m at work.<p>right?

I’m surprised they managed to sell that many

I&#x27;m very curious as to what the remedy will be. Other panels seem to be detaching, as well. Will they have to remove and reattach all panels from every vehicle? Also, does the 46000 include every Cybertruck sold to-date?

&quot;The body panels are glued to the frame?!&quot;<p>&quot;Well, I mean, not for very long...&quot;

I hate when they used the word “recall” on issues that can be fixed with an OTA update!
