Now, it seems like a production issue with Cybertruck has snuck in just in time to cap this week off.

Electrek reports that Cybertruck customers awaiting their deliveries are generally kept in the dark regarding what the actual issue is. However, it appears some Tesla representatives have shared that deliveries are delayed due to an issue with the Cybertruck's "cantrail trim."

The "cantrail trim" on the Cybertruck refers to the piece consisting of the body of the vehicle located above the side door windows. This piece extends over the quarter glass, driver, and passenger side windows.

Multiple customers waiting for their Cybertruck to be delivered have shared their experience in Tesla forums. The company's delivery workers have told these customers there's currently a "containment hold" on Cybertruck deliveries. 

A "containment hold" happens when the automobile company discovers a flaw with a new vehicle and decides to pause deliveries to address the issue before it escalates to a recall.

Cybertruck issues are far from new. Tesla has had to recallthe vehicle over and over again for flawsranging from a stuck accelerator pedalto a flawed windshield wiperto rearview displayissues. In fact, one of the previous Tesla recalls had to do with a completely different piece of trimfalling off the vehicle.

It's unclear exactly how long the containment hold will be or whether Tesla will have to recall Cybertrucks that have already been delivered for the eighth time. But, what is clear is that with everything else going on, this production issue couldn't have come at a worse time for Tesla and the Cybertruck.
