America’s favorite low poly electric truck is facing a new set of problems that don’t have anything to do with people spray painting swastikas or crude comments about Elon Musk on them. Deliveries of the Tesla Cybertruck are on hold while the company addresses issues with reports that the trim is becoming detached and flying off, Electrek reports.

Tesla service representatives are telling customers awaiting deliveries that there is a “containment hold” on their trucks, according to several posts in the Cybertruck Owners Forum, as noted by Electrek. The customers are not being told it has anything to do with the vehicle’s trim, though. A containment hold is a proactive measure taken by automakers to address a quality issue or defect with a vehicle before it reaches customers.

What is it made of, cardboard?

No, no cardboard, no cardboard derivatives

The trim is attached by glue. "Trump Qualität."

Who'd believe that a car that looks like shit and has had constant problems will continue to have constant problems?

I hope it's the workers sabotaging the swastiproduction

My 68% confidence level theory is that that's already happening at SpaceX with the Super Heavy.

Would explain the sudden increase in failures.

The trim piece above the windows is glued on and can easily be peeled off without tools.
