Tesla Cybertrucks Are Involved In An Unintentional Acceleration Controversy

Tesla has reportedly stopped delivering Cybertrucks to customers after an unintentional acceleration issue was uncovered by owners. And no, the problem isn’t just software and so can’t be fixed rapidly through an over the air update.

The Cybertruck is bullet-proof, but it isn’t Corolla-proof.

As demonstrated by one Cybertruck owner in a video uploaded onto Elon Musk’s X, the issue seems to be the pedal covers. He claimed the one on the accelerator came loose, wedging itself in a crease where the floorboard meets the firewall, keeping the pedal depressed all the way.

Fortunately, the man said he was able to stay calm and realized pressing the brake pedal would override the accelerator. That meant he could safely stop the Cybertruck, although once he let off the brake pedal it started accelerating immediately.
