Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been forced to halt deliveries of his 'indestructible' Cybertruck vehicles following a major safety concern.
In some cases, pieces of metal trim have even flown off at high speeds while driving, putting other cars and road users in danger, according to Mail Online.
In posts on X and on the Cybertruck Owners Club website, customers said that Tesla agents had informed them that deliveries had been put on hold pending an inspection.
Previously, Tesla has been forced to recall thousands of Cybertrucks due to panels falling off while driving, but recent reports suggest the issue has not been resolved.
The current problem appears to mainly affect the 'cantrail', a large piece of decorative trim running along the roof from front to back.
In an official complaint to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), one Cybertruck owner wrote that this piece of trim detached after just one year of driving.
In their statement, the driver argued that this panel was 'hard and sharp enough to hit other cars' and presented a 'serious safety issue'.
In a number of posts on social media, Cybertruck drivers have been showing how their vehicle's exterior panels are peeling away from the body.
In a standard vehicle, most of the exterior panels would be part of a combined body and chassis.
In a second NHTSA complaint, a Cybertruck driver wrote: 'Upper passanger [sic] trim piece fell off while driving on street, could have hurt another motorist.
'This trim comes in two pieces, one is bolted to the truck and the other is glued onto the bolted piece, the glued piece peeled off.'
