Tesla has been forced to pause sales of Cybertrucks after owners reported issues with pieces falling off the supposedly indestructible truck.
It’s said that Elon Musk’s electric car-making company has had to suspend sales of its famous electric pickup truck after customers raised the alarm over some rather concerning issues.
Now, owners have reportedly said metal panels have come away from the cars and in some cases have flown off at high speeds while they were driving, presenting a safety risk to drivers and other people on the roads.
Customers have since taken to the Cybertruck Owners Club site and Musk’s social media platform, Twitter, to complain that they hadn’t been told their deliveries were on hold.

But electric vehicle enthusiasts at Electrek said Tesla decided to put a halt on sales after several incidents of metal trim and panels ‘flying off’.
According to The Telegraph, a major issue is said to be with the pickup’s cantrail, a piece of decorative trim that spans the length of the roof.
It seems the issue also isn’t new as Tesla has previously been forced to recall thousands of the models due to panels falling off while on the road.
The news comes as owners have long reported build issues with the battery electric truck since it came out in 2023.
Musk unveiled it as a concept vehicle in November 2019, calling the futuristic and whopping 6,800lb truck the ultimate ‘pickup truck that can carry a pickup truck’.
