“It does suck, because everybody kind of makes fun of the Cybertruck. To the outside person, it’s kind of weird, it’s ugly, whatever. Once you actually get in it, drive it, you realize it’s pretty frickin’ cool,” he says. “It’s kind of been sad, because I’ve been trying to prove to people that it’s a really awesome truck that’s not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it’s just… Yeah, it’s kind of unfortunate and sad.”
Whatever glue they’re using has a different expansion/contraction rate than the stainless steel, and the fairly smooth metal doesn’t give much surface area to hold, anyway. So in cold or hot days, you’re going to see separation.
And it doesn’t help when they don’t even glue the right pattern from the factory.
I find this offensive, it can’t possibly be true, because Elon knows more than anybody else on this planet about production. He has said so himself!!
And one thing we know for sure, is that you can trust Elon. We will have FSD by 2017, and a manned base on the moon by 2024. And Hyperloop will revolutionize public transportation.

If I spend 100 grand on something, it better not be fucking glued together.
I didn’t even glue my wife’s glasses together when they broke, I soldered them. Because glue sucks for attaching metal to anything.
Could have done bolts on the inside, or fucking rivets, or just welded the edges and it would have been better.
Cheap ass product sold for premium prices.
The correct glue in the correct amount with the correct pattern against the correct surface will be perfectly fine. That said, they should be bending the edges of the panels around to hold things in place. But I’m sure they’re not.
