    Context: Most of the body panels on the cybertruck are actually glued on at factory and the glue fails in cold weather, leading to the truck shedding body panels as it drives.

    That one started to fail exactly like that.

    Don’t stay too close behind a Cybertruck on the road.

      I suspect the long thin stip is especially vulnerable because of differential heating expansion/contraction.

      Loads of body panels are bonded (glued) on modern cars, but engineers and car designers work together to make designs where the adhesives will work reliably. Rather than a design by a toddler dictated from the CEO.
