Cybertruck Stainless Panels are falling off in Freezing Temperatures
Yes. We all know that some of the panels fall off. Typically the side trim, the bed trim, and other panels are coming loose from the factory. This Wrapping Technician is exploring some of his theories.
Namely that the bolts that hold the panels to the truck are simply glued to the panels, which kind of defeats the purpose of the bolt, they should be welded to the metal. And many of the panels around the truck are coming away because the glue isn't sticking to the panels.
Tesla is not welding many of the panels, even around the large side ones. Could be that the welding process becomes visible on the thin stainless steel? But also the glue is insufficient to bond the pieces together and it's failing quickly.
