A Tesla rep allegedly told the owner, "the accelerator may or may not disengage when the brake is depressed."

Another unintended acceleration issue. Fortunately, no one was injured but the Cybertruck still crashed into a house.

This happened in a rich-enough area that it was filmed by someone’s doorbell camera. There’s apparently 50-foot long line of skidmarks.

    Usually these kinds of “can’t stop acceleration” are due to mixing up the brake and acceleration or the pedal getting stuck under a nom-OEM floor mat. I was gonna say maybe that’s the case here, but it seems pretty apparent that they were at least flooring the brakes, and I don’t imagine they switched the floor mats after 4 hours.

    Also that $50k fee in the linked article is hilarious.
