Recent reports from Tesla Cybertruck drivers have raised concerns about accelerator malfunctions, which could potentially pose serious safety risks. Several drivers have shared videos and testimonies depicting instances where the accelerator pedal became stuck, a dangerous possibility for a vehicle that can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in under three seconds.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has confirmed that it is in contact with Tesla to gather more information regarding the incidents. Amid these reports, Tesla has postponed some Cybertruck deliveries in recent days, although the automaker has not explicitly attributed these delays to the accelerator issue.
While an official investigation into the matter has yet to be initiated, the emergence of these reports coincides with ongoing challenges facing Elon Musk’s automotive brand. On April 8, Tesla settled a lawsuit with the family of a man who lost his life in a crash while using the company’s Autopilot semi-autonomous driving software.
Meanwhile, slower sales at the beginning of this year prompted Tesla to announce significant layoffs in April, resulting in a 10% reduction of its global workforce.
These issues have come amid the company’s stock declining by nearly a third since 2023.
