Tesla's Cybertruck Faces Major Recall Over Detaching Trim Panels
Tesla is recalling over 46,000 Cybertrucks in the U.S. after reports that stainless steel exterior trim panels could detach while driving—posing a safety hazard. The recall affects nearly all Cybertrucks built between late 2023 and February 2024, marking another setback for the EV giant.
🔍 Analysts say the issue highlights Tesla's growing quality-control challenges. "Reputations take decades to build but can crumble fast," warns AutoForecast Solutions' Sam Fiorani. Meanwhile, Tesla's stock has tumbled 50% this year amid competition and backlash over CEO Elon Musk's polarizing public statements.
