Elon Musk's Tesla issues recall for Cybertruck over acceleration flaw
Cybertruck
Tesla is recalling 3,878 Cybertruck vehicles because of a problem that might make them speed up unexpectedly, which could lead to accidents. The issue is with the accelerator pedal, which might get stuck on the Cybertruck, Elon Musk's version of the American pickup truck
If the accelerator pedal becomes trapped, "the performance and operation of the pedal will be affected, which may increase the risk of a collision," Tesla said in the notice.
Tesla stated that it had no knowledge of any accidents or injuries linked to the problem. The company plans to fix the issue by either replacing or adjusting the accelerator, it added.
Musk has been a strong supporter of the Cybertruck, announcing at a launch event last November that"Finally, the future will look like the future!"
However, manufacturing challenges arise from the vehicle's use of large, flat, unbent stainless steel plates. Musk has acknowledged that it will take time to increase production, aiming for 2025 as the year when production will reach 250,000 units annually.
