We’re seeing another sticky situation develop, after 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.

Recall when?

Don't they still teach that mechanical fasteners are almost always better than adhesives in school? Especially if it's an object going at high speeds and over bumps. I'm having a hard time blaming the designers and not Musk suddenly being excited about this great new glue from a presentation.

I'm sure it all comes down to cost. Probably a lot easier to get a robot to place a panel on glue than to manage attaching fasteners all over.

It's Dr Jekyl's truck.

Looks? Cheap. Price? Expensive. Build quality? Cheap. Depreciation rate? Expensive.

They really ought to have picked one, anybody can run this scam once, but consumer sentiment builds fast and rebuilds slow.
