Who needs a #TeslaTakedown when they are built so shoddily! They practically takedown themselves!
In latest blow to Tesla, regulators recall nearly all #Cybertrucks

"U.S. safety regulators on Thursday recalled virtually all Cybertrucks on the road, the eighth recall of the Tesla-made vehicles since deliveries to customers began just over a year ago.
"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall, which covers more than 46,000 Cybertrucks, warned that an exterior panel that runs along the left and right side of the windshield can detach while driving, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
"The stainless steel strip, called a cant rail assembly, between the windshield and the roof on both sides, is bound to the truck’s assembly with a structural adhesive, the NHTSA report said. The remedy uses an adhesive that’s not been found to be vulnerable to 'environmental embrittlement,' the NHTSA said, and includes additional reinforcements.
"Tesla will replace the panel free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 19, 2025.
"The recall of 46,096 Cybertrucks covers all 2024 and 2025 model years, manufactured from November 13, 2023, to February 27, 2025. The NHTSA order says that Tesla became aware of the problem early this year."

@DoomsdaysCW I for one thing want only the best most "structural" glue in my $100,000 truck to perform well in the most challenging suburban parking structures! Those speed bumps can really destabilize glue.
@jessetmccann I'm old enough to remember when cars were made of steel and held together with bolts and welding!
@DoomsdaysCW the cybertruck is worse than that. It's made of a single piece of cast aluminum (poured into a mold) and then has panels glued to it. It's made like a cheap pasta pot, not like an airplane.
@DoomsdaysCW@kolektiva.social 8 recalls in a year seems like a lot
