LMAO, Tesla owners have been saying all week that the reports of Cybertrucks rapidly disassembling themselves on the highway are fake news.
Turns out Cybertrucks are infact falling apart because the GLUE that holds the stainless steel panels in place can't survive winter temps đŤ .
Can't imagine any other car owners defending the car maker for their $100k+ ride falling the fuck apart every winter.

There's been reports for over ten months about the glue quality not being up to the job. While most of the larger panels do have a few weld points the rear quarter panels only have a few small welds with the majority of the panel actually being held in with glue.
It's crazy that Tesla says the panels are structural load bearing elements but once you see all the plastic under there its easier to believe đ
The panel thats giving the most trouble is a 8ft long piece of trim that runs along the top edge of the vehicle. Its ONLY attached with glue.
Viral videos for the past yr have been coming out with a massive rash of them throughout the winter months.
Multiple reports indicate this has happened to folks during rush hour, launching a heavy metal plate into traffic.
This excellent youtube video by a critical cybertruck owner goes over every major body panel which is glued on.
It's clearly possible to rip off some of these panels by hand.
Kinda surprised they haven't started walking off the trucks given how easy some of them come off.
Most panels appear to be easily pealed off part of the way.
So anyways, looks like Tesla has a Q1 quarterly report due out on April 22nd I suspect this will be the first time key investors really come to terms with Elon Musk's Trump antics.
Major investors are already sounding the alarm. I've been around the startup scene long enough to know the VCs are absolutely looking to can Musk. Musk is not gonna be an easy CEO to fire so they'll wait till the very last minute I bet.
Dan Ives published this review of the Tesla stock below đđż
He's a large shareholder in Tesla and suggests that Musk should focus on being Tesla CEO and stop working as part of DOGE and the Trump administration. He absolutely rebuked the "brand damage" of turning Tesla political and specifically called out Trump's Tesla purchase photo op as a blunder for the company.
I think Ives knows Musk as CEO is a now a deadend but he's a big shareholder and wants you to be his exit liquidity.
I really think VCs like Dan Ives just don't understand #TeslaTakedown isn't just a brand kerfuffle they can PR wonk their way out of.
Nothing short of Musk separating from Tesla will remove the stench of that prick playing a central role in a fascist project to destroy the federal government.
These investors aren't Musk/Trump cultists, they are capitalist. They will eventually kickout Musk to try and save Tesla, so I hope the #teslatakedown keeps up the pressure.
If Musk's antics weren't enough, the free market really is not swinging in Tesla's favor like it used to.
All the major car makers have been taking their time to learn the EV market and a LOT of the older companies finally starting to fire on all cylinders with EV strategy.
China remains the elephant in the room. Upstart EV company Byd released their latest lineup this week and get very positive reviews.
Tesla is no longer the innovation leader and their quality sucks

The hits keep coming, yesterday it was reported that Tesla trade ins have increased 300%+ since this time last year. With the majority of that change occurring in the last few months since Elon Musk became the poster child of US far right politics.
On the heels of all this bad news rumours are swirling that Tesla investors and insiders are offloading shares.
Prompting Musk to hold an all hands begging Tesla employees to stop selling shares of the company:
âIf you read the news, it feels like Armageddon. I canât walk past a TV without seeing a Tesla on fire,â he said. âI understand if you donât want to buy our product, but you donât have to burn it down. Thatâs a bit unreasonable.â
During last weekend's Tesla Takedown protests, a Tesla customer was seen exiting a Kansas Tesla dealership to do multiple Nazi salutes in front of a cybertruck.
The Nazicar loving Nazi then tried to get protesting soccer moms with their kids to fight him while claiming to be a former US military service member.
Eventually a woman, presumably his wife, was seen dragging the hate filled Tesla customer back into the dealership.
When the crowd of protesters accused the Tesla customer of supporting a Nazi and possibly being one, the man replied "Yeah!" and did the deed.
The man goes on to explain the reason he is buying a Tesla is specifically due to the anti-fasicst protests and to support Musk.
Original footage of the encounter was uploaded to YouTube.
It took a few days but internet sleuths were able to identify the man in the video...

Elon Musk on Fox News this had a rare moment of clarity where he says his involvement in the Trump Administration is hurting his companies bottom line.
He ends the clip by whining about Tim Walz taking joy in the $TSLA stock drop, a sign things are going just fine for the car company I'm sure /s đ
