Tesla and CEO Elon Musk have forcibly halted all deliveries of their Cybertruck vehicle, as reports indicate that glued on parts of the electric truck are falling off with ease.

Things haven't exactly been smooth sailing for Tesla when it comes to the Cybertruck, as it's been the subject of widespread criticism, countless negative reviews on YouTube, and even hate-filled subreddits.

While some passionate electric vehicle fans swear by their trusty vehicle, especially from an economic point of view as it stands favorably next to similar ICE counterparts, things might just have gone from bad to worse for Musk's pride and joy.

Despite being advertised as a bullet proof, indestructible, force of nature, Cybertruck owners have recently noticed that key parts of the vehicle are now simply peeling off due to the fact that they were glued down.

As reported by the Telegraph, trim and panels across the car are "flying off the supposedly 'bulletproof' electric truck," with the cantrail across the edge of the roof proving particularly challenging to keep fixed in place.

Recalls have previously been issued by Tesla for faults related to glued on pieces, including entire panels detaching from the car's exterior structure, but these recent issues have seemingly made the company reach breaking point.

Indicated by customers on both X and the Cybertruck Owners Club, it appears as if Elon Musk has made it so that new deliveries for the Cybertruck have been put on hold, likely so that they can deal with the issue on a manufacturing side, and Reuters outlines that most existing vehicles have also been recalled by the manufacturer.

While this is a sensible, albeit slightly embarrassing decision to have to make for a car marketed by its robustness, it comes at a poor time for Tesla as the company is haemorrhaging value on the stock market.

It's stock price has almost halved since the middle of December, and the company as a whole has dropped roughly $633 billion in the same time period. These value downturns are a consequence of the financial whirlwind that has occurred since US President Donald Trump resumed office, but the company's sales declines and Musk's own controversial actions have contributed too.

Even President Trump's bizarre publicity stunts outside the White House haven't done enough to reverse Tesla's downward spiral, and even the president himself was among those critical of EVs in the recent past.

How much of a difference this new issue with the Cybertruck makes on Tesla's fortunes is still yet to be seen, as some might consider the fact that the vehicle wasn't exactly popular to begin with.

One popular post on X has called it the "biggest flop in the auto industry since the Pontiak Aztek," indicating in replies that the Aztek was not only a 'better vehicle' but 'definitely safer' too.
