Same here. I dropped my truck off yesterday to fix the suspension alert that was repeatedly popping up, and hopefully balance the tires which were off balance since day one, and maybe replace the glove box since it rattles/squeaks like a 1980's sun baked dashboard, lol. But I did ask yesterday if they knew about the pedal issue, and whether existing customers will be called in to have their pedals replaced, and as of yesterday, they were not sure. I'm guessing we'll be called back later as they'd have to have the part on hand today to do the recall repair which I doubt will be the case.

"and hopefully balance the tires which were off balance since day one" - I have vibration/shake starting at 48 mph and it just slightly goes away at 70 because it is turning so fast that the frequency is less noticable. I can feel it in the steering column arm rests and hear it. I hope that is what it is and they don't try and tell me it is the way the large tires work. I have heard a number of people that they have nothing all the way to 100 mph and it is extremely annoying.

Mine was also minor at 50mph, went away by 60, then came back at 70, and was REALLY bad at 80mph. To the point where I didn't feel safe going that speed or faster. We took the service center tech out for a drive as they aren't allowed to take it above the speed limit, and he for sure agreed there was a balance issue with ours.

As expected they were extremely quick to address this issue. And we now know approximately how many they made in the first quarter. Was getting ridiculous with the articles and rumors the entire production was.shut down, when it was really just deliveries.

You have exposed yourself as a troll.

The guy who hit the pole reported delayed/reduced braking (and no emergency warnings or alarms). If you read the official recall notice it explains;



So, no, a stuck accelerator pedal could not have been the cause of the issue he described. Furthermore, it will be immediately apparent if this is the cause of any future issues because the pedal cover will no longer be seated, instead it will protrude a few inches above the actual pedal after any crash caused by such a condition.

The guy who hit the pole was not "run off", he left of his own accord. I suspect at the embarrassment of realizing he failed to negotiate the corner due to excessive speed (and possibly slicker than normal conditions from contaminants that normally build up at busy interections).

Elon is that you?

A (Real) Recall? Imagine that!

What's the MSM going to do now?? Don't they strongly prefer...

No. Recall is the language, by law, that NHTSA uses to refer to a required fix or return of products.

If you want this changed, you need to do politics. I'm sure many on the forum would support you, but that's off topic.

Just the president of the fan bois.

If you press the brake, it overrides any accelerator input.

So, no.

Just because someone makes some term a 'law' doesn't make it logically correct or just, and it certainly doesn't make any behavior exempt from being called out, because our First Amendment is a more supreme 'law'.

I wasn't trying to go there specifically though, as the post was intended to be more lighthearted than that, not intending to push anyone on this forum's buttons. I was mainly calling out the MSM for their unbalanced and selective emphasis because they're always trying to make something out of nothing when it suits them.

Calling them out is only fair at this point, as the MSM has gotten away with normalizing skewed reporting and lies so much by now - so regular people deserve at least a fraction of the communication and expression leverage that the MSM has constantly enjoyed and abused?? ?‍

...But it does make it law, which a government sponsored agency would have to follow.

You want to change it? Call your Senator.

Funny how the meaning of a word suddenly gets changed when it competing financial interests want it to change.

I was reflecting on a longer historical meaning of the word as it has been used for more than five decades, compared to how the MSM is trying to enforce someone's suddenly asserted meaning over a recent couple years.

I already know how to contact representatives, but that's separate from expression here as I can easily do both.

Funny how...

...The law that created recalls didn't create a means by which to assuage your feelings about the meaning of the word when a sold product can be updated in the field without lifting a finger. Because that technology, even the concept that products could fix themselves, hadn't even conceived of when the law was passed in 1966.

If you're upset about it, fix it, don't make up conspiracy theories about why it exists.

My Cybertruck is in service today. Wonder if this can be done easily today or if I need a new appointment.

Likely SCs don’t have the parts yet… I would guess another appointment. ??‍

 

[moniker]

Got mine fixed by the SC today. They add a rivet at the bottom.

 

[slc-cybertruck]

I had a delivery appointment scheduled for Monday the 21st and just received a call from Pleasant Grove UT SC rescheduling me again, now for Friday the 26th. They said they are still waiting to receive the parts to fix it. The person I spoke with was unsure what the exact part they were waiting on was. It seems weird that if it's just a rivet at the bottom, it would require a unique part ?‍
