Tesla's $100,000 Cybertruck needs a hole drilled through the accelerator pedal for safety

• Tesla has a solution to the Cybertruck accelerator pedal issue that caused a recall.

• A user on X posted a 35-second video drilling a hole into the accelerator pedal to fix the issue.

• The solution requires reworking the accelerator pedal on Cybertrucks made on or after November 13.

Tesla has a solution to the accelerator pedal problem that caused the company to hit the brakes on Cybertruck deliveries.

According to Tesla's recall bulletin, when a high amount of force is applied to the accelerator pedal, the pad may slip off and get trapped in the interior rim above the pedal.

This weekend at a Cybertruck event in California called "Cybertakeover," which was hosted by the Tesla Owners Club of Santa Clarita Valley, a user posted a video of the pedal problem being fixed on X, formerly Twitter. The "35 second recall fix," shows a worker drilling a hole into the accelerator pedal and securing the pad with a rivet.

The user said the fix takes 35 seconds, although the video starts with the drill in place, which is over halfway through the list of steps. Tesla's recall bulletin lists 15 steps guiding owners on the installation process, with the actual drilling being the eighth step on the list.
