... many of the body/trim panels... are glued onto the frame.
Not even fasteners of some kind.
Just glue.
Glue which keeps failing so often that basically all cybertrucks have been recalled because ... the body / trim panels will fly off on the highway, like an uncovered/unsecured truck load.

Nothing wrong with the -right- adhesive being used. The problem isn't "glue", it's incompetence.
Glue and steel? I think not
You better let every other car company in existence in on your secret then because all of them from BYD to Ferrari are doing it.
Don't they also use fasteners though? Pretty sure the adhesive is just there to strengthen
Nope, if anything the fasteners are for registration in the right place. Adhesives do the job.
There is some stigma about gluing stuff together, but windshields have been mounted with glue for decades now and nobody seems to be worried that they’re going to fall out.
