Ok sit down and grab a beer because sometimes truth is weirder than fiction - the Tesla cybertruck has been fully recalled - because they used the wrong glue, yes glue, on an external panel of the vehicle.
Enough said, I can hear you all rolling around on the floor laughing.

Won't that spill the beer? and I find I can't sit down and roll around the floor at the same time. It is NOT uncommon for vehicles to have panels glued in! Commodore's, for a long time had the Firewall glued into the body. You will be SHOCKED, surprised and DISMAYED to find MOST panels of truck bodies are SIMPLY GLUED THERE. With no rivets or bolts showing, WHAT exactly, do you think is holding the panels to the frame??? Your Android or Iphone/ipad has it's battery glued onto the innards.
It seems to be you are finding out about glue, maybe a Sikafex or Polyurethane adhesive and it's common uses. Even double sided tape is used in some constructions!
Weird as it seems, there is NO FICTION about the use of ADHESIVES/ GLUES in our society! That is the Truth!

Sounds a bit deja vu back when the tiles were falling off the space shuttle on re-entry when the Engineers had used the wrong SikaFlex to glue the heat tiles on the nose of the shuttle....
Note : Not the same for Ford Engineers , they didn't make the same mistake when designing the Ford
Louisville (lol)
Don't spill your beer haha ;)))

Sika holds most of NZ together.
Going by memory wasn't it Dow Corning taking the credit for the NASA contract back then?
