I believe this is the 3rd time this issue has been posted to this forum? Maybe there are more. I am guessing another recall might be coming. This could kill someone on a motorcycle.

Mine flew off in transit before I even took delivery. So add one more to that list. (Still waiting on delivery too)

I was leaving home this morning, opened the vault to put my lunchbox, when I got to work and went to open the vault, I couldn’t find the buttons or the panel it was mounted to. I’m assuming it flew off on the freeway. I hope it didn’t hit anyone. Now that’s concerning!!

Join the club I lost mine. Also this piece of shit vehicle needs to go back and be put together in the fashion of what $100,000 vehicle should be

we am being made fools of with this vehicle that it’s fit and finish is the worst I’ve ever seen in my 40 years of being the automotive industry from panel gaps to trim the panels flying off. It’s a joke.

The clips secure the applique, the tape is to keep it flat.

These are flying away because once they start to loosen, the wind zippers them right off.

I gotta quit reading this site, it's giving me anxiety. I haven't picked up or paid for this thing yet. Starting to feel like I'm getting that wink wink deal on a 73 restored International Scout. ?

My Beast is perfect after 1500 miles. Less than 1% of the trucks built have problems.

This happened to me the first week I had ROBO back in Mid April... The installer did not remove the plastic on the double sided tape. Arranged a service call with Tesla and they were very responsive. Set up a service date about a week later. Then driving down the road I noticed the other side was flopping in the wind! I pulled over, and sure enough, the other side of the double sided tape was not removed. I was able to lift the panel about an inch and remove the plastic, and secure the panel. Tesla replaced both sides.

After reading this thread and also seeing a Facebook post from a Cybertruck group, I thought I'd check my rails. I had seen a short video from someone (I'm trying to find it, but can't so far) who showed how to run your fingers along the length of the rail and pressing down to make sure all the clips are snapped. I took a look at my left rail from the tailgate POV and noticed it wasn't quite flat. There were a couple of gentle bumps. I then used my fingers to gently press down as I moved up the rail and felt 2 firm clicks as the clips snapped into place! Then I checked the right rail, and found one clip that I snapped into place! Thanks to this forum, I hope I was able to prevent a flyaway rail, because I found these 3 clips that weren't even snapped in.

I saw my first Cybertruck in Dallas while I was out on my CBR1100. It was an experience. I tried to get closer, but the truck flung a metal spear at me. ... I am of course kidding. Losing a long sharp metal body piece is pretty scary to the folks behind. Hopefully no one has been hurt.

This part isn't metal; it's a plastic access panel.

I also had the same experience. I noticed it wasn’t flat and similarly just snapped it down. All good now.

Sort of the same thing at speed, but I was just kidding. Some Tesla folks have no sense of humor. I am awaiting my Cybertruck. I got an email in May saying that my (#220,000 in line) truck was available for me as a foundation series, but I am unwilling to pay 20k more that the non foundation series for it.

Well, you'd be surprised how many people just don't know, so we just assume they don't around here ^-^; It's all new to most people!

I'm in that pool of those waiting, too. And I can't currently afford the $80k version, either, which is hella disappointing.

its reportage bias - I've had mine for over 5 weeks of pure joy - Vin 6XXX - and ZERO of the issues listed. NONE - just a great vehicle -
Everyone who has received one wont report in every day and say "man - today was great - no issues" so of course its biased towards the issues that do crop up.

with the tremendous scrutiny and attention this thing gets - its not surprising.

even after this much time, people in NJ STILL say its the first one theyve seen, "what is it", "how much is it" etc etc etc.

worry not. just enjoy.

same here aside from the Bed divider not seating properly in the middle third of the bed—Tesla finally rectified it tho!
