Tesla fixes Cybertruck accelerator with rivet after problems

The Tesla Cybertruck has been keeping people busy for years. The first time we saw it, it was not only the bizarre appearance that was the talk of the town, but also the presentation of the pickup. CEO Elon Musk wanted to show how strong the windows were, but ended up smashing huge cracks in them anyway. This was followed by a long period in which the Cybertruck was continually postponed. Last year the market introduction was finally a fact. Not long after, stories emerged of owners who discovered rust on the stainless steel body of the Cybertruck. That seems to have been a storm in a teacup, but now there is a more serious problem with the Cybertruck.

Recently, a TikTokker shared a video of his Cybertruck’s accelerator pedal to highlight a very dangerous situation. There is a decorative piece on the pedal that had been shot off. That slid forward and then jammed the pedal in the depressed position. The result is obvious. Tesla therefore decided to recall all Cybertrucks. The Verge An instruction document has now surfaced showing Tesla’s solution to the problem. In short, it means that the decorative panel is attached to the pedal with a rivet. First a hole must be drilled through the decorative panel and the pedal and then the rivet goes in (photo 2). It’s solved in about half a minute.
