  >blaming the problem on the wrong type of glue, a new adhesive “not prone to environmental embrittlement.”
That quote was about the new glue, not the old glue?

  >some RWD Cybertruck owners merrily driving along could be disconcertingly overtaken by their own wheels.
If they read their own link, that never happened?

Who's doing the proofreading at Wired now? Is it all just AI?

Unloved and unwanted is outright false. Go to cybertruckownersclub.com for a more balanced take. Somehow Wired managed to completely miss the best U-word description of it: Ugly.

I have very little interest in electric vehicles, Tesla, Elon Musk, etc. But I still think the Cybertruck, at least the design, looks awesome. It looked like something you'd see in the "Another World" or "Out of this World" intro cinematic.
