Cybertruck Off-Road Lights Keep Falling Off… As the Glue Holding Them to the Windshield Fails (fuelarc.com)

We’re seeing another sticky situation develop, the same day Tesla recalled 46,096 Cybertrucks to stop them from falling apart because the stainless steel panels are held on with the wrong glue.

This time, it’s the Cybertruck’s off-road light bar that’s flinging itself off at highway speeds. Incredibly, the light bar is also glued in place, so we are wondering if there isn’t another recall coming down the pipe.

Here is one driver whose Cyberbeast tossed his light bar at highway speeds.

That was in the 90s when they first started. In newer cars some parts are adhesive only. The trunk tire well in my Outback appears to be fully held in with adhesive. Apparently it's pretty common for the roofs of cars to be only adhered on. Tesla just kinda went balls out with the adhesive. Or didn't go balls out enough since they're failing so often.
