No, but it’s indicative of the profound problems Tesla now has as an increasingly toxic brand, thanks to their CEO. It will absolutely affect sales, and I bet resale value in Teslas is suffering too. That will hit their earnings. Tesla has an absolutely farcical PE ratio and market valuation, mostly built on hype. The share price has been correcting hard and will likely continue to do so in the long term. There’s no reason a company selling 1/6 the cars Toyota does should have three times the market cap.
Meanwhile, it looks like they're shedding their winter coats

Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks because they’re literally falling apart
The recall is U.S.-only for now
Tesla is recalling 46,096 Cybertrucks in the U.S., or in other words, all the Cybertrucks it’s ever sold in the States. As of the time of writing, there is no equivalent Canadian recall, but due to its widespread nature, I’d expect the recall to apply to Canadian Cybertrucks soon.
The recall is over the metal trim falling off above the doors. This long metal piece is attached using a subpar adhesive that wasn’t holding up to the elements. Once the trucks go in for the recall, the company is replacing the adhesive holding the metal rail onto the truck with something that can better hold up to the elements.
According to Electrek, Tesla still hasn’t made this fix to the Cybertruck assembly line but is hoping to implement it around March 21. These trucks won’t be shipped to customers until they’re fixed.
This is the eighth recall on the Cybertruck and the second one to feature outside trim falling off in the short time that the truck has been on the roads. One of the first recalls was related to the accelerator getting stuck, which is super dangerous for a giant vehicle that can move as fast as the Cybertruck.

Tesla recalls all Cybertrucks because they're literally falling apart
The Cybertruck falling apart and not being what was promised is actually a pretty good metaphor for Musk himself.
