Elon Musk’s company paused deliveries due to issues with the adhesive used to secure its stainless steel panels. Concern grows among owners and road safety experts.
The Cybertruck, Tesla’s futuristic vehicle, is once again at the center of controversy following reports of serious structural issues.
Elon Musk’s company has paused deliveries of the model due to problems with the adhesive used to secure its stainless steel panels, raising serious concerns among owners and road safety experts.
Since its launch in late 2023, the Cybertruck was promoted as a revolutionary off-road vehicle capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in under three seconds and offering a range of up to 340 miles. Its angular design and stainless steel panels — intended to resist dents — aimed to set a new standard in the automotive market. However, reality seems to be falling short of those promises.
In recent days, several users have reported incidents where exterior parts of the Cybertruck detach while the vehicle is in motion. The main cause appears to be a defect in the adhesive that holds the stainless steel trims together. These pieces, once loose, hang off or even fall completely, posing a risk to both the driver and other vehicles on the road.

According to Fortune, the sharp-edged metal trims lift in the wind while the Cybertruck is moving.
One of the most striking cases involved a user who shared a video on social media platform X showing the front bumper completely loose and swinging.
This issue adds to a growing list of problems the Cybertruck has faced since hitting the market. Beyond software glitches, the vehicle has been subject to several recalls due to manufacturing defects. Among the most serious incidents was a faulty accelerator that allegedly caused accidents and a plastic trim piece that detached while driving.
In owner forums like the Cybertruck Owners Club, some affected users claim they were told the issue stems from a part known as the cantrail — an exterior stainless steel trim running along the top edge of the driver and passenger side windows.
One of the most alarming testimonies came from a forum user who shared: “I went out to run an errand, and while accelerating on the highway, I heard a loud noise. I looked out the window, and the metal trim had come off and flew into traffic. I couldn’t stop — I was right at a fork in the road.”
The outlet Futurism warns that these incidents are not isolated. Several previous cases have documented Cybertruck parts detaching while driving due to adhesion system failures. One video from content creator Reid Tomasko even shows how easily the panel can be removed, especially in extreme cold conditions.
So far, Tesla has not released an official statement about this new issue, nor has it confirmed whether this specific problem is the reason Cybertruck deliveries have been temporarily suspended. Meanwhile, the situation once again raises questions about the quality control processes behind one of the company’s most highly anticipated — and troubled — releases.
