We’re seeing another sticky situation develop, after Tesla recalled 46,096 Cybertrucks to stop them from falling apart because the stainless steel panels are held on with the wrong glue. This time, it’s the Cybertruck’s off-road light bar that’s flinging itself off at highway speeds. Incredibly, the light bar is also glued in place.

Recall when?

    No amount of testing would fix this crappy design, other than if it had resulted in not doing it. The windshield is so goddamn long I’m surprised they didn’t just put the lights inside it.

    Oh yeah and they aren’t wired up because unless the light is covered, it’s illegal to have those up there. Most states say they have to be less than 42 inches from the ground, or covered by an opaque cover.

    I think that’s part of why Tesla doesn’t connect it.
