While Tesla stock and sales tank, the company helmed by Elon Musk reportedly stopped delivering Cybertrucks because their trim has been flying off the vehicles and creating hazards on roadways.
Electrek reported earlier in the week, “According to Tesla delivery agents, Cybertruck deliveries are on hold. There’s a containment hold as many owners are reporting trims flying off the supposedly ‘bulletproof’ electric truck.”
It turns out the “flying trim” problem is at least a year old. More from Electrek:
Despite the fact that Tesla has claimed that the Cybertruck is “bulletproof” and made out of an “exoskeleton”, the electric vehicle’s build is actually much closer to a traditional unibody system rather than “exoskeleton.” Most of the visible body parts, which would be part of the chassis in a exoskeleton build, are actually trims attached to the body.
In some cases, they are extremely flimsy trims.
