Tesla is an impressive company by many metrics but one area where it is stuck with glue is glue. Specifically the glue the EV company has been using to hold together its cybertruck disaster. Earlier this year, it was predicted that almost all cybertrucks on the market were recalled because Tesla used the “wrong glue” to attach the stainless steel panels that the car is known for. As a result, the panels were at risk of falling off mid-ride.
Now, the company seems to have a problem related to sticking on its hands. A regulatory filing by Tesla this week shows that the company is recalling another 6,197 cybertrucks because one side of their vehicle is in danger of falling off the road. “On affected vehicles, the optional Off-Road Light Accesibility option may be installed in the Wind Wind using the unique Primer area,” states the statement. The filing was originally reported by Business Insider.
This document goes on to note that the bright Light-bar that can, in certain cases, be dangerous for other drivers on the next road, “if the service includes the benefit of driving,” it can cause its risk of collision, “said the chiefs.
No one wants to get hit by a flying light bar, so the fix is pretty obvious. It sounds, too, as Tesla used the wrong glue to attach the repair: “The Rechivent part is attached with a bracket to the vehicle structure and, if necessary, an adhesive tape is applied using a wrong adhesive primer,” the Filing State said.
Tesla said that, as of this month, it has only identified 619 warranty claims and 1 field report unrelated to the condition. ” The company added that it was not aware of “any collisions, fatalities, or injuries related or unrelated to the situation.”
Cyberruck is widely classified as a catastrophic failure. Initially, Tesla was said to have planned a production capacity of 250,000 trucks per year, but sold less than 40,000 units last year, according to estimates from the Cox shadows. Since then, sales have not taken much and, at the beginning of the year, the power of US Air finally found a good use for the car: the maneuvering practice.
People say that Elon Musk is a creative person and musk, himself, often cultivates this image by looking for things that he wants to do many impressive things and tuple, “make humanity into shaped types” etc.). However, before musk can become the tech leader he dreams of becoming, he’ll have to start with the king of this ancient technology: the goop that holds things together.
