Tesla has paused Cybertruck deliveries due to reports of cantrail trim detaching. Owners report sudden delays, while Tesla remains silent. Read more about the issue.

Tesla has put Cybertruck deliveries on hold amid reports of detached roof trim. Buyers waiting for their vehicles have seen their delivery dates suddenly canceled, with Tesla employees citing a "containment hold."

This isn't the first time Cybertruck has faced such issues. While Tesla previously recalled over 11,000 Cybertrucks in June 2024, that recall was related to windshield wiper motor failures rather than trim pieces falling off. However, recent owner reports suggest that adhesive-related problems with exterior trim could be resurfacing.

According to Tesla’s service manual, the cantrail trim is secured with bolts and brackets. However, leaked images from owners suggest that some exterior parts may be held in place with adhesive, raising questions about Tesla’s claims of an "exoskeleton" build. In reality, Cybertruck follows a more traditional unibody design with attached exterior panels.

This latest issue adds to a growing list of Cybertruck technical concerns. Tesla has yet to release an official statement regarding the containment hold, leaving Cybertruck buyers speculating on forums and social media. Will the company issue a full recall? Will already-delivered units need repairs? Or will Tesla attempt a quieter, in-service fix?

For now, future Cybertruck owners are left waiting—without a clear timeline for when deliveries will resume.
