    Its been known since before the thing shipped that the wrong glue was used.

    There are automotive adhesives, meant for the exact use case the cybertruck needs, that Tesla chose not to use.

    Instead, they chose to use a cheaper adhesive that is well documented as not being able to be heat cycled in the way a vehicle gets, and the glue has rapidly degraded as it has been exposed to rapid and constant heating and cooling.
