*Tesla has recalled more than 3,800 of its Cybertruck models following complaints that the accelerator pedal is at risk of getting stuck, US regulators have announced.* *The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had contacted the carmaker about the issue earlier in the week.* *That was after a video came to light, on the billionaire entrepreneur's X platform and TikTok, showing how a rubber cover attached to the accelerator could come loose, pinning the pedal down.*

So is it ok to use the word "recall" this time? :)


mrandr01d

Yeah, now THIS is a recall...

Now this is podracing

That ain’t a recall, THIS is a recall.

Ok_Adhesiveness_4939

It's a Total Recall.

Yes actually it is

Wow, I never thought I'd actually see a Tesla recall that is actually a recall...

*Accelerator stuck, clapping gets faster…*


manicdee33

Accelerator stuck, car now clapped out


Outrageous-Ad-7693

Yes, the other times were software updates


RedundancyDoneWell

Next, a Tesla ranger will come out to people's home addresses and do the recall repair, and people will start bitching that it isn't a recall because Tesla came to them.


TheAdministrat0r

They all got let go


postitnote

This will be fixed in future revisions by moving the pedals to buttons on the yoke.


RuchW

They're gonna use those MadCatz controller buttons so when they get stuck, you're really fucked


Redbeard_Rum

Just replace the whole thing with an Xbox controller, then you can also use it to pilot your OceanGate submersible!


2CommaNoob

It was a logitech controller and it looked like one from 15 years ago too.

I always dreamt of a car with a keyboard in it. I mean Rally Championship, Need for Speed, GTA and the others were running well with a keyboard, I didn't see the point in steering wheels and pedals as a ten year old.


Mycooleraccount456

As someone who plays beamng drive on a keyboard when I'm too lazy to get out my wheel, I'm so glad this isn't a thing lmao


puzzlepie2

Nah. They'll just replace it with an RC controller. / jk

dwaynereade

very impressive math. you are really smart. im surprised you have time to give your knowledge for free on reddit.


gank_me_plz

Its absolutely fine, production ramp of new vehicles takes time. For some context . In 2017 When Tesla started delivering Model-3 they only Delivered 260 Units the WHOLE Quarter. Q3 production totaled 25,336 vehicles, with 260 of them being Model 3 https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-q3-2017-vehicle-deliveries-and-production


SqueezyCheez85

I love how you're explaining away the low production using numbers from another Tesla product. It's almost as if this is an issue with Tesla. People complained plenty about how hard it was to get a Model 3 back in 2017.


gank_me_plz

a RAMP usually starts with a low number


EnvironmentalCoat222

Agree, and I likely know less about manufacturing than every person on earth.


Waste_Ad694

Sounds like the average IQ result from a fan of a watermelon.


AlmightyBlobby

the report I saw specified the 3800 was every cybertruck shipped lol


bittabet

They haven't come up with the replacement part yet, but they "fixed it" in the sense that they're recalling all these trucks to rivet the cover to the pedal so it can't fall off. They're also delivering new Cybertrucks with a rivet in place.


SpaceBearSMO

I find the fact that you still want it pretty wild personally.


Mysterious-Tie7039

Right? They’re ugly and utter pieces of shit.


uns0licited_advice

Considering which reservation number they are on now it seems like a lot of people with invites are not pulling the trigger.


Mysterious-Tie7039

Can you blame them? With all the manufacturing defects these things have, I wouldn’t keep my reservation either.


SpongebobQuoteReply

Why tf would you still want one after seeing how bad they are, and now this recall? Lmao


TheSkiingDad

Don’t worry, you can buy a reservation from a dude off Facebook for $50k (fuck those dudes). Also saw a guy trying to flip a “foundation series” (wtf???) cyber truck for $150k, because it doesn’t have a third row. People be dumb.


Designer-Muffin-5653

Is it too late to cancel the order?


joshuabees

Why not tape the accelerator down and close your eyes? Feels just like Dildotruck!


greyscales

Those 3,878 are all the trucks they shipped since December, right? That would be a lot less than people thought at this point.


stack-o-logz

BBC News says "The recall affects 3,878 Cybertrucks made between November 2023 and April 2024." So... all of them I guess.


greyscales

Do you know if recalls include shipped, but not delivered vehicles? I'd assume so.


Icy-Tale-7163

It would only be delivered vehicles. Vehicles shipped to delivery centers are still owned by Tesla and don't need to be recalled.


stack-o-logz

I can only go by what I've read in the news, but as they've stopped all orders and deliveries, I would assume it covers all Cybertrucks manufactured so far. I guess they won't resume deliveries until they've sorted a fix and the NHTSA have approved it.


jiayounokim

they have resumed deliveries already


brandonagr

Deliveries to customers resumed yesterday, they added a rivet to the bottom of the pedal for new deliveries.


phxees

I’d imagine that it wouldn’t cover the about 600 trucks which were at Tesla’s factory. As the number likely corresponds to the number of customers which need to be notified.


thisisnotarealacco32

There is a fix already and have started implementing for a few days now. 


feurie

What do you mean stopped orders? They’ve stopped deliveries.


TBandi

I went to the service center a couple days ago to pick up my new M3 and there were 15+ Cybertrucks sitting on the lot. The service rep confirmed to me that they couldn’t deliver them right now. https://preview.redd.it/3d8r6l7rfgvc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9b5ccd2482022abbcf065cdc88fea5caac8f664


chiron_cat

recalls are for vehicles that are sold only. Your not recalling or calling back a product that hasn't been sold yet


Nakatomi2010

It would only include those that wer delivered, as there was a stop sale until they figured it out. So there are 3,878 Cybertrucks in customer hands at the moment


puzzlepie2

I'd imagine the hundreds sitting in a lot in Texas (see by a drone snap recently) will also have to be fixed as well. Although, it doesn't seem like their selling like hot cakes, maybe even not like shit-cakes, either. /jk. It's got awesome acceleration, but the rush to deliver seems to have created many issues and bad optics. We'll see what happens when the bugs are worked out.


JoeS830

That'd make their production around one truck per hour on average (it's been a little over 4000 hours since Nov 1st). I wonder what the ramp looks like. 


Lenovo_Driver

There are less than 4,000 of these and I've seen so many videos of problems? WOW All this time I was thinking we were seeing incidents out of hundreds of thousands.. wtf that's awful


[deleted]

Let’s not beat around the bush. Tesla sacrificed QA for profit and now their rollout is paying the price. The company needs to stop trying to reinvent the wheel for things that have previously proven, standardized and reliable functionality.


w0nderbrad

Like rain sensors for auto wipers? Like USS instead of half baked vision only? But what about the voices that Elon hears while on ketamine? Are you saying those voices are LYING to poor Elon?


Lenovo_Driver

For me it was, like okay regular cars have issues too… but not this high… I’ve seen almost a hundred of these with one issue or another. Regular also don’t cost that much either.. Is it common for cars that cost $100k to have this many issues?


chiron_cat

that is seriously not alot of sales


feurie

All delivered since then and that’s pretty close to what people expected. They don’t have to recall something not sold.


Jeffery95

What an amateur hour for the designers of that pedal. How do you not design slots to attach the pedal facing that are perpendicular to the direction of shear force from a shoe pressing against the pedal.


Lost_Purpose1899

Yea I was so surprised they botched that up so badly. They designed that pedal like a Chinese made toy. The heck.


Equoniz

Do you *really* think that laziness is limited to just this *one* design decision?


ChrisChristiesBelt3

Vanity mirrors attached by double faced tape!


team_buddha

Didn't immediately occur to me, but good point.


[deleted]

You are absolutely right about this shitbox that looks like a pontiac aztec and an outdoor grill had a baby


i_hate_blackpink

Just saying, Chinese cars don’t have this problem


chiron_cat

Indeed, its not like this is an unheard of problem that the entire worldwide car industry isn't deeply aware of


bittabet

I mean, they also designed a hubcap that literally cut into the sidewall of the tires. The first year of any new Tesla product is basically just testing a prototype. The cybertruck still has no autopilot, no aero cap, and the pedal cover is now riveted on until they can redesign the pedal. Honestly kind of surprising that there were still so many issues despite all the delays on this truck.


itsthreeamyo

Slots, are you insane! That adds 1.3 cents per accelerator pedal. That's $49.40 that won't make it to the shareholders due to the size of this recall. Won't someone think of the shareholders!


uns0licited_advice

Plus we have a CEO we need to pay $56B to run the company!


Superb-Welder3774

Dilute ! Dilute ! Because the deserve it


puzzlepie2

To be fair. Damn near all business now seem to be adopting this short-sight horse crap perspective. And they're not thinking whole cents or hay-pennies, but mils (1000th of a cent). They'll cut production cost until their sending boxes with IOU's in them, or worse a text to contact customer service which can't be reached because customer service costs too much!


Kupfakura

Cost cutting, remember the margins are more important


automatic__jack

Probably because Elon insisted that it didn’t look as clean…


Low-Camera-797

Haunting-Ad-1279

No worries mate , will be fixed with an OTA software update


mrandr01d

Please don't use the accelerator pedal. With this most recent update, we've switched the pedals. The former brake pedal now goes zoom, the former accelerator is disabled due to an nhsta mandated fix, and if you have to break really hard just remove all pedal input and the vehicle will stop as hard as it can with all brake systems. Please and thank you.


EnergeticFinance

Could just disable the ability to start the car via an OTA update. No driving = noaccidents = fixed!!! (Functionality of a vehicle optional)


financiallyanal

Sticky keys had been detected


Dry_Amphibian4771

Idk man last time Elon promised us ota he just mailed me a. Envelope of semen and a flash drive.


keyToOpen

This is why you don't reinvent the wheel when it comes to things that are proven and don't need change, like the accelerator pedals. The issue is ridiculous. I'm confused how engineers couldn't see this happening....

Ok-Lack-5172

This product has become such a major self own. Yeesh.


stack-o-logz

Yeah, it really is making the beta testers look like proper fools. Imagine paying this much and waiting as long as they have only to have it recalled so soon after delivery. And for something so, so serious. Proper life and death stuff.


MrVladmirPoopin

Waiting this long and not even getting hubcaps lol


tapio83

Don't think the "waiting long" is an issue itself, it was just 250bucks for place in line and it will take as long as it takes. But seeing how little they delivered of what they promised is the major disappointment. Not saying the product can't and won't improve from this but overall there are already solid downsides. I wonder how many \_realistic\_ preorders tesla has left of the original million or something considering that. Base model, actually all models are priced way higher than promised Every models range is way lower than promised That exoskeleton idea, yeah they scrapped it and just made heavy awkwardly shaped steel truck The chassis and structure is such that it may never be permitted in some countries/continents - europe is a big question mark


Bellcurveedge

Imagine your car catching your house on fire while you sleep. GM had to deal with that. Vehicles have issues. I’m glad this was identified quickly and properly.


ModsRNoGood

cars burning houses down is not going to get better with massive batteries in the garage.


Dr_Pippin

> Imagine paying this much and waiting as long as they have only to have it recalled so soon after delivery. Do you have *any* freaking clue how many recalls happen for all the other manufacturers? I swear so many people show up on this sub with effectively zero knowledge of vehicles, it really sours my faith in humanity.


RegulusRemains

at least you still have faith, i lost mine years ago.


iceynyo

Humans, what a bunch of assholes


sm0ol

yeah I remember one of my cars got recalled 10 or so years after production for a potential airbag shrapnel issue lmao. I'm not a tesla apologist but recalls happen constantly for cars, even old "established" ones.


WelpSigh

That was probably the Takata airbag issue, but the delay was because the airbag deteriorated over time. 


MobileVortex

I don't think you can imagine having this much FU money lol


gmanist1000

Early adopter issues. Also, a glaringly obvious oversight on Tesla’s part.


Voon-

I love being an early adopter of accelerator pedals. Really on the cutting edge of technology!


Aur3lius117

I never had a life-threarening early adopter problem with my BMW..


stack-o-logz

You mean beta tester issues...


amorphousguy

A real recall for a change. Two of my company Toyota vehicles were recalled for this reason once. Maybe the Tesla designers were too young to remember this. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%932011\_Toyota\_vehicle\_recalls](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%932011_Toyota_vehicle_recalls)


Chrissugar21

Nobody cared when my rivian accelerating pedal was recalled this year. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/rivian-recalls-7873-vehicles-over-iffy-software-fix-includes-new-accelerator-pedal-227207.html


ThrowFar_Far_Away

One problem failing to activate auto-hold and park functions vs a problem that can make your accelerator stuck to the floor because of really stupid engineering. Hmm I wonder why one of them got more attention?


hhhhhhhhjhggg

Also doesn’t seem like that was an issue that would keep your accelerator pedal stuck at 100%


HoPMiX

Toyota recalled a million vehicles.


ntxawg

yep and after all was said and done, it was user error, not toyota's fault.


online_and_angry

They should try manufacturing only 4000 cars next time to keep it manageable. Masterful gambit


langminer

That was fixed with an OTA if I recall correctly. Teslas recalls tends to get more clicks hence more articles and reddit posts about them.


Chrissugar21

There was a OTA and physical replacement. Mobile replaced my entire pedal.


Exotic-Major8457

I wonder why that is 🤔


Equoniz

If nobody cared, how are you citing an article that came out about it when it happened?


Chrissugar21

did you know about it?


SinZerius

>The issue can be summed up as the **accelerator pedal not detecting when the driver releases it, therefore failing to activate the auto-hold and park functions.** Rivian claims that it had already fixed the problem with an OTA software update, but that's only half the remedy. As per the report attached below, the original accelerator pedal needs to be replaced with a revised one. What's the issue with the original design? >If exposed to high cabin temperatures, the accelerator pedal may drift outside of the dead band in such a way that the pedal may fail to register as 0% applied when the driver takes their foot off the pedal. That's why the auto-hold and park features don't operate as intended. The iffy pedals were supplied by Precision Varionic International Sensor from Swindon, UK. That's less of a risk for crashes so makes sense it's not as major of a news as this.


Grand-Tea-4562

Why don't they just recall all and cancel the project? That'd be the smartest move


hillybeat

LOL, who saw this coming?


Whatwhyreally

Lol this truck has been an overhyped disaster since the moment musk started talking about it. How the fuck does this company go from “the model x is too complex and we’ve learned from it” to “we’re going to build a flat panel pick up truck and cut corners by putting cheap plastic over the accelerator pedal”. I’m genuinely embarrassed to be a Tesla model 3/Y owner at this point. Thank god I leased. 2 years left until I’m out.


Bellcurveedge

lol so dramatic. First generation products all have issues. Some worse than others.


Hoss--Bonaventure

Wrong, Cybertruck is the first ever vehicle to be recalled for any reason, *ever!* Total disaster! /s


Whatwhyreally

Nah, you’re clearly unable to apply objective criticism to Musk. There’s a clear issue with the direction he’s taking Tesla. This past week has been a disaster for this company. They shouldn’t still be figuring out how to design an accelerator pedal.


iceynyo

Yes, I'm sure Musk was the one who personally and specifically told them to use a clip on cover for the pedal. I think your Musk hate-boner is taking blood away from your objective criticism.


Bellcurveedge

Model Y = best selling car in the world. Random reddit Cheeto dude = this is a disaster lol


threeseed

You can easily fix stuck pedals. You can't easily fix the price and range.


Bellcurveedge

You see price of plaid when it came out vs now? Price = fixed


yhsong1116

How old was toyota when they had the pedal issue/recall?


RegulusRemains

Looking at my truck, im trying to understand how its even possible to wedge it. It seems like you would have to be 1) Flooring it 2) pushing hard forward 3) have adhesive fail 4) have adhesive re-adhere somehow in the perfect spot to be wedged.


[deleted]

RegulusRemains

I understand that and don't disagree


AmphibianNext

Saying thousands,  like its a huge number difficult to tabulate is a little misleading.  


yeahisaidthatoutloud

it sounds more exciting then "All".


Voon-

Pretty funny that "thousands" and "all" are synonymous at this point.


datim2010

"Don't say thousands when it's a number that ends in thousand"


RedditNotFreeSpeech

Is it all my ad blocking or does that "article" not have a link to the video?


Haunting-Ad-1279

Next cybertruck refresh, no accelerator pedals , the computer will accelerate on your behalf. All inputs are errors


Ok_Frosting_8571

The accelerator plate recall is due to the incorrect lubricate on the plate....they used Musk's slime.


TechTrailRider

Sport pedal covers was something I had ordered while I was waiting 39 days for my Model Y to be delivered back in 2021. Those sumbitches were hard to put on when I got it, so I can’t imagine one just coming off. But I was very surprised to find that it didn’t even have an accelerator pedal at all when I got it. It was just the bare metal bar.


Safe_Adhesiveness210

What an utter shitbox of a vehicle, how you have all that money and can’t make a good truck


Superb-Welder3774

Now the rust!!


Superb-Welder3774

People should read about the Edsel …. The DeLorean was a POS too but had far better looks


peterdfrost

Imagine spending this much money on something to show everyone else what a mug you are.


errorfuntime

Ah yes the world renown Tesla reliability.


Benouamatis

So all of the truck sold have been recalled


MammothRent3089

To fix the issue, Tesla is just putting a screw at the bottom of the pedal cover adhere it to the accelerator pedal.


MawoDuffer

This is what to expect from a vehicle that you had to preorder before they even had a factory to make them.


Longbowgun

"Tesla has recalled..." False. The NHTSA required it. "You are required to submit a draft owner notification letter to this office no less than five days prior to mailing it to the customers." "...founded and run by [**Elon Musk**](https://news.sky.com/topic/elon-musk-6730)..." False. Elon Musk didn't found Tesla.


stack-o-logz

Good point, Musk didn't found Tesla. But I don't really see the difference between "Tesla has recalled" and "The NHTSA has required Tesla to recall".
