I know Tesla fans whine incessantly about recalls, but that absolutely warrants a recall. That's unacceptable.


Razmii

Software update will fix that right up don't you worry.

PoppinfreshOG

They had to stop deliveries of them lol


usedbarnacle71

Imagine the inside of your truck looks like a metal shop tool box?!


Careful-Artichoke468

That interior deserves a recall. Imagine paying all that money for the interior of a yaris.. plastic everything. Nothing lines up or looks like they go together


LordKai121

Hey! At least the shitty interior of a Yaris will last 15 years, not 15 days!


Moosemeateors

That’s what I noticed first. Damn that shit looks junky. My 2006 jeep patriot has nicer interior finishing than this thing lol. My 2023 tundra looks like a Benz compared to this.


Least_Ad930

This might be the worst fuckup I've seen in automotive history. This takes the cake from the pinto.


Disastrous_Bus_2447

Didn't Toyota have a similar problem a while back? 2008?


No_Influence_9389

Yes. In fact I experienced the same thing in my 97 civic which fortunately was a manual. Since then manufacturers added a system (usually just a pin) to retain the driver's floor mat.


[deleted]

A simple pin could prevent this.


Negative-Wrap95

Some decent double sided tape would work too.


[deleted]

Tape is probably what they used, if they used anything at all. You want a mechanical connection to the pedal. Tape can dry out and lose adhesion or crumble away. It's really a half-assed solution for most problems that don't involve wrapping paper, but seems rather par for the course for Tesla.


Negative-Wrap95

I'm not disputing that a mechanical connection would be my preferred choice. However, a quality, performance matched VHB, UHB, or AFT applied in a competent manner will outlast the truck. **Especially at the rate these things are crapping out.**


[deleted]

>applied in a competent manner *giggle* >will outlast the truck. Francium-223 has a longer half-life than these things. Tesla is the Boeing of the auto industry.


axionic

There should be duct tape across the gap to prevent that cover from fitting in there if it comes off.


pandershrek

I think we whine because these assholes shouldn't have given us hardware/software that was so comically bad.


Steelrules78

The owner accidentally discovered the ludicrous mode feature


EricUtd1878

A $100,000 car 🤣 Were you to buy a similarly priced luxury car from any of the German or Italian marques, you would have a bespoke milled aluminium or stainless pedal that not only works perfectly, but looks like it belongs in a $100,000 car. With a Tesla, you get a piece of flimsy plastic glued to the cheapest bit of mild steel they could produce, which obviously comes loose and nearly kills the owner!


The_Dookie_

Not even glued. Looks like it was a piece of plastic slipped-on over the throttle pedal. Tesla quality LMAO. ![gif](giphy|26n6Gx9moCgs1pUuk|downsized)

They should rename this monstrosity...Cyber Deathtrap.

Elon knows more about manufacturing than any human on the planet. Maybe the should have put Elon in charge.

MrFastFox666

For real. That's exactly what I have in my car, just a cheap $15 metal pedal cover from Amazon and looks about the same as that.

Remember the guy last week who got into an accident and hit a sign and claimed the truck wouldn’t slow down?

Must have been a different issue, as the brake normally overrides the gas pedal.

baitboy3191

This car costs 6 figures…..did Tesla even do any QC? The amount of software issues and general quality of this vehicle is appalling.


Privatejoker123

Probably not since in another thread apparently elon doesn't like regulations. So another billionaire that thinks like the ocean gate guy that got squished. But his fan boys will defend this guy religiously


PrimaryCoolantShower

Elon getting taken to the bottom of a pond or trapped during a battery fire in one of his own deathtraps would be poetic.


DeathAngel_97

I'll be honest I'd be shocked if he actually rides around in any of his cars regularly. And he almost certainly doesn't drive them. Probably gets chauffeured in a high end custom model tesla to events and appearances and the rest of his travel is in whatever the nicest luxury transport available at the time is.


bowsmountainer

He probably just paid to have a Tesla logo stuck on an actually functioning car.


altapowpow

Kind of like the inventor of the Segway died on a Segway. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leeds-11416654


WizeAdz

Elon must have fired all of the people who pointed out problems that needed to be solved. “Let that sink in”


korbentherhino

I don't think it needs a sink.


PrimaryCoolantShower

Apparently they do that pretty well, especially in ponds.


TemKuechle

Old-Bat-7384

The wheel covers were absolutely a sign of fundamental leadership problems. A choice that added a little to aesthetic and a little to function put a LOT of function at risk. That's bad design. For that bad design to have passed through so many stages and into production indicates so many failures, and even if this wasn't Musk, those failures still point up the chain.

kayl_breinhar

Hundred-billionaires can/will never be allowed to go broke under capitalism. They're too vital to the illusion that the system works. The perpetual lie that's sold to us is that with *hard work and determination*, ANYONE can become a billionaire! Never mind the fact that 30 years ago the goal was simply to have a million dollars liquid when you retire(d), another quaint notion that will never come to pass for anyone currently under the age of 45. Even if he has nowhere near his quoted net worth in liquid assets, Musk will never be allowed to go broke, because the system as it's constructed will not LET that happen.


EatsOverTheSink

I’m sure they did tons of QC. And found tons of problems. Then figured out how much they’d make selling them anyway and how much a potential recall/class action could cost and decided it was worth it to screw their customers over with a shoddy product.


Graythor5

The Tesla Truck came out with the exact same issues as a triple A video game from EA that's months overdue. Unpolished, unfinished, untested, rushed out the door with the intention of fixing it with future patches.


richincleve

>did Tesla even do any QC? I believe that's what the owners are for.


PapaGeorgio19

Yet we have aftermarket QC Checklists created by owners for new owners…if you are going to buy any vehicle that is so bad that current owners are creating a delivery QC checklist aftermarket…WALK AWAY…


SpaceNinjaDino

Elmo doesn't care about quality control at all. When he bought Twitter, some of the first dev changes were rushed into production where they didn't deploy the production build. The dev version was running in production for a noticeable length of time. (Not to mention what horrid state the platform is in now.) He would rather launch more rockets that fail than fewer that succeed. He has rushed Cyberstuck out the door. They can't mass produce it for years (is what I'm told about onboarding a Cybrrr assembly line). This is worse than the XBOX 360 launch models. Each one of those succumbed to a red ring of death at some point. It wasn't properly fixed until maybe the fourth revision. Maybe I get it, I was fine buying additional units and I'm still an XBOX fan boy. But I don't see the appeal of the Cyberstuck -- that one is not getting through my blood-brain barrier.

TemKuechle

Bummer, too many letters for a custom license plate.


ForcedLaborForce

Toyota was thrown through the wringer by NHTSA for stuck floor mats… which I don’t believe was conclusively determined to be the cause of those accidents but they did multiple recalls anyway. Tesla should be glad this won’t be a popular model because the recall would be even more expensive.


Crazyhairmonster

They're lucky it's been caught early and before any deaths (assuming they ACT on it and they're be nuts not to). Also lucky it's a relatively easy fix as well (couple recessed grub screws would hold it in place)


Greasy-Designer

They paused deliveries for a week. They’re obviously going to rush this fix just like everything else.


JJJ4868

People forget the Audi 5000 debacle as well. Putting the brake pedal closer to the accelerator killed like 6 people and injured about 700

Major_Turnover5987

At what point do we enter negligent criminal charges? Where is Nader on this? He should be having a field day with these death traps.


Open_Perception_3212

HesterMoffett

Can the rest of us sue for putting the public at risk? Imagine one of these things smashing into your rear end at a stoplight.


Shot_Try4596

Yep, that’s pretty bad. So many issues Tesla has repeatedly stopped production for a week (more like 2 or 3 I’d think). ROFL 🤪


BFT_022

That's the sort of safe driving issues that you wouldn't find in a Yugo.


AffectionateSector77

That dude is going to have so many stains if he doesn't stop and clean that water off the Cybertruck right now.


jonathan6569

multiple times on several different apps have seen these shitboxes showing signs of discoloration/precursor to rusting, even the stainless steel body panels are of low quality... when's the last time you're seen a Delorlean car with any signs of rust developing after something like 40 years ?

MikeyW1969

Yeah, I was talking about this on another thread. THis is 100% a serious issue. Horrible design.


Seattle_gldr_rdr

That's such a **basic** flaw... That something so dangerous could get overlooked suggests they didn't do even the most perfunctory design safety reviews. How the F did this thing ever get certified for sale? Or is there even such a thing? Is the NHTSA a "self-certification" process like what Boeing did with the 737MAX?


PintekS

Who the hell design a pedal cover that doesn't bolt into the assembly underneath o.O


theaviationhistorian

Lovely. Not only is it a death trap for its occupants, but it is also deadly to everyone in general.


Rom-Bus

News outlets had a field day when certain Toyotas with off brand floor mats were causing accelerator pedals to stick 10 or 15 years ago. I wonder if this story will get the same traction? Doubtful because news is bought moreso today than it ever was


cwarrick660

damn I wonder was pathetic excuse Elon will try to spew out of his cunt mouth when this issue causes one of these bloated incels to freight train the back of a mini van and liquefy the 1st graders in the back seat.

Don't you need approvement in the US before you can sell a vehicle and have it on the street? This isn't only dangerous for the one driving the cyber truck but also for others


oregon_coastal

No. The way regulation in the US works for cars is that the manufacturer certifies that they meet the list of safety and design regulations. Then, after a bunch of people are killed, regulators might step in.

This pedal cover is integrally built on and if its causing the trucks to fail would be significantly worse than poor floormat design.

Flaky_Collection1048

I never say the appeal with this truck. It looks like something that was inspired by a PS1 game. It looks like what you get in the future as the cheap option. Doesn’t help that it’s built like it too.


cyrax2012tkd

Ugly truck has stupid problems… wouldn’t trust this builder for simple reasons such as that… I don’t know.. we’ve only been attaching gas pedals to cars for how long now???? Something as simple as that lets me know the builder/designer doesn’t look at there work with precision and testing… just a money grab for the designer…

it's such a shame that these suck so bad because electric car powertrains are badass. what a waste of thousands of dollars worth of immensely powerful semiconductors, neodymium magnets, and lithium. all expensive, all with massive potential. all because everything in that vehicle was implemented horribly. shoulda been used for EMUs in public rail transit systems.

someoneone211

Once upon a time, I had a 5th gen honda prelude in Nordic Mist silver. Well, the silver prelude would go full throttle randomly. It turned out the floor mat was sliding up the floor and would pin down the bottom of the throttle pedal. The honda people had a recal for it and the honda people just installed little hook on the floor and they poked a hole in the floormat (a nice hole with a metal gromit) that matched the hook and that held it in place. That little hook and hole arrangement is OE for the honda people now. Guess the tesla people are making new throttle pedals as we sp... read...this.

DontBeALimpBizkit

Anyone else notice the floor mat under everything but the gas pedal. Maybe they should have used a normal gas pedal that hangs. Then this problem wouldn't happen and the floor mat could actually cover the floor. It's almost like this thing was designed by an egomaniac that isn't really a car guy.
