Tesla has recalled 46,000 Cybertrucks due to a critical defect in the vehicle’s stainless steel trim, which may detach while driving due to the type of glue used during manufacturing. The recall, confirmed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on March 20, 2025, cannot be fixed via an over-the-air software update—debunking a common fan defense used for past issues.
This marks the eighth recall for the long-delayed, overhyped, and fundamentally flawed electric truck.
“Recall No. 8, and they’re still held together with glue,” said one safety expert. “It’s becoming increasingly clear this vehicle was rushed, under-tested, and overmarketed.”

🛠️ Broken Promises, One Panel at a Time
When Elon Musk unveiled the Cybertruck in 2019, he promised:
- A starting price of $39,900
- An “exoskeleton” for ultimate durability
- “Thermonuclear explosion-proof” glass
- 500+ miles of range
- A production timeline starting in 2021
As of today:
- The base price is now over $60,000
- The exoskeleton is steel glued onto a standard frame, now recalled
- The bulletproof glass shattered during the demo
- Real-world range is significantly less than advertised
- And production was delayed nearly four years
“What was supposed to be a tank has turned out to be a glue stick,” said an automotive analyst.
🧪 The Glue That Binds… or Doesn’t
According to Tesla’s official defect report, the trim issue stems from the adhesive bond between the panel and the truck’s body. Under certain conditions—like speed or heat—the panel may fly off entirely, posing a danger to other drivers.
Notably, Tesla attempted to downplay the issue, stating that the problem has only occurred “in a limited number of cases”—a familiar phrase in its long list of downplayed safety risks.

🧩 A Pattern of Overpromising and Underbuilding
The Cybertruck’s issues aren’t isolated—they’re part of a broader pattern of hype-first, accountability-later behavior across Musk’s companies.
- From Full Self-Driving (FSD) still not delivering on its name after 8 years
- To solar roof installations with low performance and safety concerns
- To Starship test flights that explode before reaching orbit
- Musk consistently delivers marketing spectacle first—and problems later
“Tesla isn’t building vehicles,” said one former engineer. “They’re building investor dreams—and praying the glue holds long enough to cash out.”

📸 Visual Evidence
Captured in a service bay, this image shows workers apparently reapplying panels with glue, a telling image of how much the final product deviates from its “exoskeleton” fantasy.
📢 The Bigger Picture
This isn’t just about faulty glue—it’s about regulatory failure, media complicity, and taxpayer-funded vaporware. The Cybertruck was subsidized through EV tax credits and helped boost Tesla’s stock, benefiting Elon Musk personally. Now, the product is falling apart—literally—and the public is paying for it again.
