oddly enough a lot of the complaints got very little to do with the electric component of the car.

Tesla is a trash product man. I can’t believe people love Tesla so much.

Yes the dad could've thrown it in neutral or reached down to pull the pedal up, or just used the brakes but I guess he was too panicked to think.

I really hope Cadillac can make they evs affordable, the make the best looking ones right now
I doubt the ev hummer or these other luxury brands would ever be super affordable

Cause if they were in definitely getting that Porsche ev

If it's anyone it's going to be Kia. The Koreans already have market share over here and have done a great job with rebranding Kia and Hyundai over the past 7-8 years. The EV3 is looking like it's gonna hit next year at around $35k. If they sell that well, you can bet the $15k bust down is coming next. THAT'S the game changer. A sub $20k EV that's decent.

Greed is going to be the downfall of this country. There's no reason to shutout the Chinese from the EV industry over here.

If the argument is, "They'll steal your information", then I'd counter that they probably already have it. How many times have the sites that we use been hacked?

It's a strong possibility that you can find most people's information on the dark web.

It's more so that there's still a strong manufacturing core in the Midwest and South of the country. Auto employs ALOT of people. Millions. If you bring in the Chinese without proper ground work you'd basically. Give up one of America's largest and industries to a foreign power, because ALL Chinese multinational corporations answer to the CCP. Regardless of who started them. It's the only way you can start a company in China.

Data is one thing. But eroding your own GDP just so people can have cheap EVs is not a good idea. As much as I hate the American auto industry.

Turn the key to the off position and kill the whole car or plant it into a a tree or something so you have a fighting chance

This is Tesla’s riveting fix for recalled Cybertruck accelerator pedals​

After Cybertruck owners said their accelerator pedals were getting stuck wide open, Tesla’s recalled every single one to install a rivet that keeps the pedal pad securely in place.​

Tesla temporarily halted deliveries and recalled every single Cybertruck after a viral video showed how the pad on its accelerator pedal could slip off and get stuck in the interior trim, leaving the pedal depressed “down 100 percent, full throttle.” Now, video from a Tesla event in California taken today and Tesla’s own documentation confirm the riveting installation that secures the pad with a rivet, and they show us exactly how it’s done.

While Aaron Cash’s video posted to X says it’s a “35 second recall fix,” demonstrated at the “Cyber Takeover” event in Long Beach, the video starts with the required drilling jig already in place.

With it on the pedal, Tesla’s workers drill a hole as specified and install a rivet to secure the pedal pad so it won’t come off due to the “unapproved change” during manufacturing that made it slipperier than intended.

The Service Bulletin posted by Tesla reveals the process has a few other required steps, including measuring “the distance between the bottom of the aluminum accelerator pedal pad and the bottom of the pedal backing” before the work begins. If the bottom of the pad is 5mm or further from the bottom of the pedal, then they’re supposed to replace the entire pedal assembly.

Once it’s all done, they’re supposed to inspect the work with a mirror and clean up any debris the process has left in the customer’s $99,000-plus truck that came with an untrustworthy accelerator pedal.
