Tesla’s troubled Cybertruck appears to have hit yet another speed bump. Over the weekend, dozens of waiting customers reported that their impending deliveries had been canceled due to “an unexpected delay regarding the preparation of your vehicle.”
Tesla has not announced an official stop sale or recall, and as of now, the reason for the suspended deliveries is unknown. But it’s possible the electric pickup truck has a problem with its accelerator. […] Yesterday, a Cybertruck owner on TikTok posted a video showing how the metal cover of his accelerator pedal allegedly worked itself partially loose and became jammed underneath part of the dash. The driver was able to stop the car with the brakes and put it in park. At the beginning of the month, another Cybertruck owner claimed to have crashed into a light pole due to an unintended acceleration problem.
Meanwhile, layoffs!
This vehicle and its very proud owners are mentioned as a sign of the apocalypse, I am pretty sure.
