Summary
Tesla is recalling over 46,000 Cybertrucks in the U.S. due to a defect causing exterior trim panels to detach while driving, posing a crash risk.
The recall affects nearly all Cybertrucks produced from November 2023 to February 2024. Tesla will replace the faulty rail panel assembly.
While no injuries have been reported, the company has received 151 warranty claims.
The recall adds to Tesla’s challenges amid falling stock prices and backlash over CEO Elon Musk’s political involvement. Tesla shares fell 1.4% after the news.

Roses are red, violets are blue, nearly all cyber trucks have been recalled due to them using the wrong glue.
Is anyone here old enough to remember the ford pinto, and how common it was to hear jokes that it was a death trap that would explode if you rear ended it? Cybertrucks have 17 times the death rate of ford pintos.
Because they’re held together with glue.
Hate, they are held together by hate
Hate also just happens to be the glue that conservatives use to stick together.
Don’t worry, this time they will use super glue instead of elmer’s.
Plenty of vehicles have panels held on by glue. If you use the right glue, and apply it properly, it’s fine.
Tesla presumably cheaped out on the glue itself, and also on the man-hours for the work, and also also on QA/QC
Also the design, it was designed by a child
Vehicles that cost $100k?
Mclarens are glued together in a ton of places and they cost a lot more than $100,000.
It’s referred to as “structural adhesive” and it’s used by everyone from Ferrari to Lockheed-Martin.
Honestly nearly every vehicle on the road and plane in the air uses structural adhesive. The problem here is with Tesla, not the technology.
Isn’t this the second time they’ve had to recall nearly every single cybertruck (which couldn’t be fixed with an over-the-air update)? The first was for an issue with the accelerator pedal getting stuck, from what I remember. Is it just tesla/musk fanatics buying these up? I can’t imagine anyone else finding this vehicle appealing, from the terrible aesthetics to the severe design issues and all for a high price. I assume tesla fanatics are the only reason the stock price hasn’t cratered either, but maybe reality will catch up someday.
They’re all going to be in the same place at the same time 🤯
Remember folks, if they issued a recall, the lawsuits were going to cost more than the repairs. That’s the only reason they do it.
I think WhistlinDiesel helped identify this particular defect in his review of the vehicle.
yeah the stainless is literally glued on
too bad whistlindiesel is just as fashy as the rest of them
Is he? I haven’t watched much of his content. That sucks. I mean, the vibes are definitely there, so I’m not very surprised.
His most recent video has a very brief flash of text praising DOGE.
He has a Trump wrapped Lambo.
Some of his recent videos are him and his friends engaging in literal vigelanteism.
