“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.”
industrial adhesive exists and is pretty strong.
I still wouldn’t use it on a car.
It’s probably been used on every car since 2000.
I’m sure it is but I haven’t found any holding on body panels.
Front and rear windscreens are bonded on. Rear view mirrors are typically bonded to the glass. Side view mirrors are bonded to their mounts. The Lotus Elise famously used bonding and riveting in the chassis. If you doubt the strength of bonding material together, the heat shield panels for the Space Shuttle were bonded with a special epoxy onto the vehicle. The adhesive handled supersonic winds at extreme temperature fluctuations. The glass fascia on skyscrapers is basically held on with double-sided foam backed tape, and it stands up to rain, shine, cold, hot and hurricane winds.
So they used gorilla glue on the Cybertruck?
