Tesla Cybertruck Owners Complain About A Sticky Gas Pedal
Tesla has suspended shipments of Cybertruck pickups for several weeks. Several customers were notified of the delay, but no reason was given. According to a Whole Mars Catalog insider, the problem is in the accelerator pedal, or rather, in its slipping. Deliveries will resume as soon as the problem is resolved. But those who were waiting for the car from day to day were not very happy with this fact.
On the forum of Cybertruck owners, cases of the accelerator pedal “sticking” in the pressed position are described; in some of them, uncontrolled acceleration could be blocked by pressing the brake pedal, but if it had to be released, the car continued to accelerate. Let us remind you that a massive pickup truck can accelerate to 100 km/h in three seconds, so such behavior can have quite dangerous consequences.
The company also announced a 10 percent reduction in staff. First of all, those whose positions and functional responsibilities duplicate each other will be fired. This may be due to a poor quarterly report and a decline in sales of electric vehicles on the global market.
