    According to the article I read yesterday they are adding stronger glue and a bolt.

      That is also what this article says.

      Although a single bolt is going to need to be quite strong to hold down a long piece of steel exposed to high speed wind regularly.

        Let’s hope they won’t cheap out on those bolts. Thankfully cheaping out on everything is not an habit they have, right?

            The same bolt. Put it in. Run through the QA test (which is just Bobbie trying to rip it off with his bare hands). If Bobbies’ hands bleed before the panel comes off, they mark the test as passed, remove the bolt and move on to the next one.

          They probably had some office assistant order a pallet of bolts from Home Depot.

          This is the company that glued the accelerator pedal on, you think they know what grade of bolt they need?

        One bolt is probably find if the panel isn’t catching wind. But if that thing gets damaged it’s likely to shear off at speed. Stay away from dented cyber trucks!
