US regulators are recalling nearly all Cybertrucks, the eighth recall of the Tesla vehicles since deliveries to customers began just over a year ago. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's recall, which covers more than 46,000 Cybertrucks, warned Thursday that an exterior panel that runs along the left and right sight of the windshield can detach while driving, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. The stainless steel strip is bound to the truck's assembly with a structural adhesive. The remedy uses an adhesive that's not been found to be vulnerable to "environmental embrittlement," the NHTSA said, and includes additional reinforcements.

Cruise's trouble-ridden robotaxis are on the road to joining Uber's ride-hailing service next year as part of a multiyear partnership bringing together two companies that once appeared poised to compete for passengers. The alliance is the latest change in direction for Cruise since its license to provide driverless rides was suspended in October 2023 after one of its robotaxis dragged a jaywalking pedestrian who had been struck by a human-driven vehicle across a darkened San Francisco street. Cruise's robotaxis are still sidelined in California, but some of its Chevy Bolts are giving autonomous rides in Phoenix and Dallas with humans behind the wheel to take over if something goes wrong.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk appears to be confirming a report that the company's much-ballyhooed event to unveil a robotaxi will be delayed beyond its scheduled Aug. 8 date. Musk didn't give a new date, but in a posting on his social media site X he wrote that he requested a design change to the front of the vehicle. A message was left Monday seeking comment from Tesla. Bloomberg News reported on Thursday that the robotaxi event would be delayed due to changes sought by Musk. That sent Tesla shares down 8% for the day. But they have since rallied and were up nearly 3% in Monday afternoon trading.
