Tesla Cybertruck Deliveries Halted Due to Detaching Trim...

America's favorite low poly electric truck, the Tesla Cybertruck, is facing a new set of challenges that go beyond the spray painting of swastikas or crude comments about Elon Musk on them. Tesla service representatives are informing customers awaiting deliveries of a containment hold on their trucks, a proactive measure taken by automakers to address a quality issue or defect with a vehicle before it reaches customers. The customers, however, are not being told that it has anything to do with the vehicle's trim.

The Issue with the Cantrail Trim

Electrek shared a screenshot of direct messages between a customer and a Tesla service rep that mentioned an issue with the truck's cantrail, or the decorative trim that covers the roof ledge above the door. The delay in delivery could take several weeks to address, depending on the severity of the loose trim.

Previous Trim Issues

This isn't the first time we're hearing about problems with the Cybertruck trim. Tesla had to recall over 11,000 trucks last summer due to improperly adhered trunk bed trim sail applique. This current trim issue is likely related to a handful of complaints filed with the federal government earlier this year, suggesting a recurring problem with the truck's trim.

Public Reactions and Speculations

While Tesla has not officially linked the containment hold to the trim issues, the speculation is widespread in the Cybertruck Owners Forum. A video on YouTube posted over a month ago goes into greater detail about the issues with the cantrail trim, further fueling the speculations and concerns among potential owners.
