I don't know enough about specific kinds of epoxy/glues... but has anything actually been reported as to... is it just the wrong kind of glue? applied improperly? combination of both, and/or other errors?
Given that it affects ... basically every cybertruck produced, im guessing its not just one guy or one shift that's incompetent, and more likely a fundamental manufacturing process/materials problem, management or c suite incompetence.
Its been known since before the thing shipped that the wrong glue was used.
There are automotive adhesives, meant for the exact use case the cybertruck needs, that Tesla chose not to use.
Instead,, they chose to use a cheaper adhesive that is well documented as not being able to be heat cycled in the way a vehicle gets, and the glue has rapidly degraded as it has been exposed to rapid and constant heating and cooling.
I'd wager a combination of both. Cheaped out on the adhesive and screwed up the application instructions. Probably cheaped out again by cutting the time/temp of the postcure.
