For a truck that was supposed to be the most difficult truck ever built, Tesla Cybertruck must have had many problems. So far, he has been the subject of seven withdrawals and two investigations, clicked their wrap in a Whistlindiesel test, defeated by car washes and continued to go in the snow regularly. In addition, he is in the habit of sometimes losing his razor body panels, which is definitely not big. And although it is difficult to imagine that Tesla will actually do everything about it now that the CEO is busy dismantling the federal government inside, our friends in Road and track Recently, I was talking to a store owner who believes he found out why cyberters like to lose their bodywork.
Reed Tomasko owns a Shock Auto Styling, a car business in New Hampshire, who has been reported to have worked on dozens of cybertri. Tomasko is also the owner and unfortunately for him, the experience with the problem was particularly dangerous. As he said Road and trackNot only did a boomerang track fell, but also as he was driving, exposing other drivers in serious danger. You don’t have to take Tomasko’s word for this. He also managed to shoot him on the video. After looking at what happened to his truck and others, he posted a video on his YouTube channel explaining what he thinks is happening.

Problems with Cybertruck Body Panels
According to Tomasko, Tesla attaches these body panels to plastic frames that are attached to the body of the truck. Instead of securing the panels to the frames, Tesla uses glue to glue them. And so far, none of this is particularly concerned. Fancy Glue Tech has been a long way over the years and you can be surprised at how strong these connections can be. They even use adhesives to bind steel beams used in the construction of buildings. This said, whether Tesla was cheap to the adhesive that he used or did not have the right process to ensure the correct connection, the adhesive seems to be what failed when a Tomasko -shaped giant piece of lining has fallen.
And this is just this piece of lining. Tomasko said Road and track He believes this is a problem with the body panels themselves, including two of its quarter panels and the back door. To the loan of the back door, he also has a few welds that should help hold it in place, even if the adhesive does not hold, so at least you don’t have to worry about the cyberp you see on the road that exhaust metal back on the back of the back His rear door is killing you. Only the other body panels and pieces of haircut. The good news is that he claims that he has only seen similar problems at about 15 to 20 percent of the Incel Caminos he has worked on. The bad news is that he says he seems to be more common in new trucks than the elderly, suggesting that cyberters are actually deteriorating and even the chance one in seven is still too high.
Previous failure reports
AS Road and track He points out that Tomasko is far from the first person who encounters problems with the fall of the Cybertruck upholstery or the body panels:
Such problems have been reported to two separate official complaints with the National Traffic Safety Administration. The first, by an owner in Brooklyn, states that his piece from lining on the roof “suddenly started to fall” at the speed of the highway. Another complaint from an owner in Illinois claims that the “upper part of the passenger”, apparently the same panel, fell while the owner was driving his truck. The owner then claims that they asked the Tesla service center to replace the same component on the other side of the truck, but a brand representative told him that the location “would not [the panel] it falls. “
Other examples of the problem have been reported to the Cybertruck Facebook owner’s group. Photos shared with R & t Like the one above, they show four additional cases of trucks that claim to have thrown their piece from the roof lining. At least one owner in the group claims that the track flew away while driving.
What causes Cyberk’s adhesive to fail?
So is this the glue itself? Tesla’s production process? Tomasko doesn’t probably can’t know for sure, but as he said R & tHe suspects that it is related to cold weather, but it may not be this:
“Based on the research and answers I have had in the video, it seems that something, the adhesive does not bend with the panels, so what is happening is stainless steel, seems to bend when it gets cold and cold Hot, but the adhesive they use is something brittle, so my assumption is that the adhesive is separated, “says Tomasko.
“Also, I have a friend with a worse construction than mine. He lives in Vermont; I live in New Hampshire, he lives in Vermont, so we’re both in a cold climate. His truck, his is well, the same amount of Miles And everything, his is fine, but then mine breaks down.
He still loves the truck
If you think Tomasko will throw away his truck after losing a massive piece of upholstery while driving and passing from a carmaker who is not interested in the quality or safety of other people, he claims that it is not so simple. Currently, his truck is at the nearby Tesla service center while he pursues redemption. He also said R & t that he ”[feels] As a new vehicle, all panels should not be replaced “and that Tesla fans said it was” just a frustration. You know exactly where this goes.
“No, I’m not a frustrating. I have a truck, I love the truck. I bought one! I love the truck. I wrap, most of all, extremely teslas in the northeast in my packaging store. So I love Teslas,” he said to the magazine. “I’m just trying to share what’s going on to help engineers better to repair this super fast.”
It is also upset because finding more problems with Cyberook only enhances the right conviction that they are terribly made of wagons that fund the destruction of our representative democracy:
“It’s nasty as everyone makes fun of cyberruth. The outside man is kind of strange, it’s ugly, whatever he says.” It’s kind of sad because I try to prove to people that it’s a really great truck, Who does not fall apart and then mine begins to fall apart, so it’s just … Yes, it’s kind of pity and sad. “
Other problems with Cybertruck
While the first withdrawal of Tesla Cybertruck landed on January 30, 2024, just two months after the discovery of Cybertruck production, the entertainment did not actually begin until April when Tesla was forced to recall The Cybertruck due to unprecedented acceleration. Obviously, no one noticed the plastic lid of the accelerator easily loosen, pinching the pedal to the floor. The ridiculous windshield cleaner also began to cause problems, and Tesla was again forced to recall Cybertruck and fix it. At about the same time, Tesla issued a separate recall, as a piece of bedding may not have been attached correctly and could fly away. Cybertruck also had to be recalled in November due to defective inverters that could cause complete loss of power while driving. These are not Cybertruck’s only reminders, of course, but they are definitely the most serious.

Moreover, it is not like anyone buying Cyberuk, he could not know that it would be a turtle or that Elon Musk was a very right -wing lunatic who lies constantly. Perhaps you could argue that regular people did not know about Tesla history for poor assembly quality and long repair times, failure to use car class components, environmental damage, workers’ abuse, tumultuous racism in factories and constant exaggeration or outspoken lies. But by the time Ciberuk appeared, the era of plausible negative has ended. Everyone who bought Kiberuk knew what they were buying and liked. After all, why else would you give $ 100,000 a drugged oligarch who allied himself with a party dedicated to the destruction of the planet?
