Title: Tesla halts Cybertruck deliveries due to 'unexpected delay' Post by: HCK on April 17, 2024, 04:05:08 pm Tesla halts Cybertruck deliveries due to 'unexpected delay'
<p>Tesla has halted Cybertruck deliveries, telling owners that there has been an "unexpected delay regarding the preparation of your vehicle," <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://carbuzz.com/tesla-halts-cybertruck-deliveries-accelerator-pedal-issues/">Carbuzz[/url] has reported. One buyer on the <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/i-am-in-shock-accelerator-recall-delays-my-original-delivery-tomorrow.14469/">Cybertruck Owners Club[/url] said he was told that Tesla issued a recall over a problem with the accelerator. </p> <p>"We have just been informed of an unexpected delay regarding the preparation of your vehicle. We need to cancel your delivery appointment on Sunday and we will reach out again when we're able to get you back on the schedule," Tesla wrote to another client. "We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to hosting your Cybertruck delivery soon!"</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="a21473b27fa643069106c7f98f7bb9e4"><iframe width="576" height="1024" src="https://iframely.publishing.yahoo.net/eXkBl9a" data-oembed-type="iframely" data-provider-name="tiktok" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div> <p>One owner posted a TikTok showing what might be the potential issue. Due to a problem with excessive lubricant on the accelerator pedal, the cover can loosen and slide toward the front, jamming into a gap in the floorboard. That effectively causes the accelerator to fully engage, creating an obviously dangerous situation. However, Tesla has not confirmed the exact reason for the delay or recall. </p> <p>Tesla said deliveries should resume on April 20 (yep), but the situation might create a ripple effect that slows later deliveries as well. The vehicle, which finally went into production late last year after numerous delays, has seen other complaints from buyers, too. Those include a lack of visibility, offroading difficulties, potential danger to occupants due to a lack of crumple zones, issues with the CCS adapter, lower range than expected, discoloration of the stainless steel body panels and more. </p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/tesla-halts-cybertruck-deliveries-due-to-unexpected-delay-123007030.html?src=rss Source: Tesla halts Cybertruck deliveries due to 'unexpected delay' (https://www.engadget.com/tesla-halts-cybertruck-deliveries-due-to-unexpected-delay-123007030.html?src=rss) |
