the accelerator pedal gets stuck on the Cybertruck

The biggest car brand in the world is not too proud to admit that they can learn something from the young Tesla. For example, Toyota borrows Tesla’s gigacast technology to shorten production times. But also on the contrary, Tesla got inspiration from Toyota, but they hit one of the lowest levels of recent years: with the Cybertruck the accelerator pedal can get stuck, just like Toyota a while ago.

About 15 years ago, Toyota was in the news largely because the floor mats on certain models could loosen and slide over the accelerator pedal. The accelerator pedal got stuck, which caused the accident. Finally, there was a recall that caused millions of cars to be returned to the dealer. Tesla now faces a similar problem.

Tesla Cybertruck’s accelerator pedal is stuck

There’s a decorative piece of metal above the accelerator pedal (if you can still call it that in an EV) of the Tesla Cybertruck. In the TikTok video below you can see that this piece of metal is not properly secured and can move forward. If this cover slips while the pedal is pressed, it may get stuck behind a seam in the interior. It is not a desirable situation.

Fortunately, the Tesla cuts power as soon as you press the brake pedal, so a takeoff isn’t likely to happen anytime soon. Although people do crazy things in a state of fear. The National Road Safety Administration (which is sort of EuroNCAP and RDW in one) is now investigating the problem, according to reports. CNBC. No action has been taken so far.

Several Tesla customers reported this week that their Cybertruck orders have been put on hold. Tesla hasn’t given a reason, but it appears to be related to a loose accelerator pedal. Heavy transport is not brought to the Netherlands, so you don’t have to worry about the Cybertruck coming forward.
