PUTTING THE PEDAL TO THE MEDDLE SOUNDS LIKE FUN…

UNTIL IT GETS STUCK.

THIS IS WHAT HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN HAPPENING TO SOME TESLA CYBER TRUCK DRIVERS.

THEY’VE BEEN SHARING VIDEOS AND TESTIMONY SHOWING THE ACCELERATOR GETTING STUCK ALL THE WAY DOWN.

IT WOULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR A VEHICLE WITH THE ABILITY TO JUMP FROM ZERO TO SIXTY IN UNDER THREE SECONDS.

“This wedged itself, right there. And as you can see, based on the design of the floorboard, and the sliding up, and the way this was still hooked onto the pedal, it held the accelerator down 100%”

THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION CONFIRMED THEY’VE CONTACTED TESLA FOR MORE INFORMATION.

OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS, THE AUTOMAKER HAS DELAYED SOME CYBERTRUCK DELIVERIES.

SO FAR- TESLA HASN’T COME OUT AND SAID THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE ACCELERATOR ISSUE.

WHILE AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION HAS YET TO BE LAUNCHED, THE REPORTED ISSUE COMES AS ELON MUSK’S AUTO BRAND CONTINUES TO TAKE HITS.

Just a few weeks ago – the company settled a lawsuit with the family of a man who lost his life during a crash while using the company’s autopilot driving software.

AND OFF THE HEELS OF SLOWED SALES AT THE START OF THE YEAR, TESLA ANNOUNCED MAJOR LAYOFFS IN APRIL.

THE COMPANY LET 10 PERCENT OF ITS GLOBAL WORKFORCE GO AND ITS STOCK IS DOWN BY ALMOST A THIRD FROM 20-23.
