Quick Glance: Tesla Cybertruck: Pedal Safety Issues
  • The Tesla Cybertruck has faced criticism for various issues, but now a serious safety concern with the accelerator pedal has led to the temporary halt of deliveries.

  • A video and reports show that the pedal cover can come loose and jam, causing unintended acceleration even when the foot is not on the pedal.

  • Deliveries have been halted, appointments rescheduled and canceled as Tesla investigates acceleration issues. A regulatory investigation looms over the company, potentially requiring a recall of all trucks.

  • Some drivers have attempted to manually remove the pedal cover, indicating a potentially serious safety issue that cannot be resolved through software.
