Watch the Accelerator Pedal Recall Fix being done live

[mbrockus]

is this a temporary fix or permanent?

It could be permanent as that type of blind rivet is very durable. Have to wait and see what the final retrofit solution is.

haha, the jig is 3d printed .. they don't even need to dispatch them out from a central location

Tesla - send me the STL and I'll print 10 of them for the area lol

why is containment still until the 22nd?

Got a rivet gun in garage, wonder how many folks are just going to do it themselves?

On Monday I’m taking my Milwaukee rivet gun, a couple 3/16th blind rivets, my drill with a 3/16th bit down to my service center. Get the damn thing done!!!! Literally less than 5 minutes.

This is permanent and also optional. They said if it hasn't slipped yet then it won't. They are just doing it to all for safety.

How are you expecting going to get into their truck?

I’m not. It’s a joke. But it is a sign they better get their butts moving. It’s a damn simple fix and they’ve taken over a week. Get it done!

Cool. My Model X Plaid just depreciated $2k while I wait for a stupid rivet. Thanks Tesla!

 

[kewellxi]

the special jig looks good.

Standardized drilling jig and cordless riveting tool.

Professional, elegant, and efficient.

(Hope they don't forget to vacuum the shavings out from under the mat.)​

From the install video as attached, I see metal shavings while being drilled from the decorative pedal being shown, but no black plastic shavings from the actual pedal mechanism. Leads to believe the pop rivet is not doing what it's suppose to be held securely. If an individual that had this procedure done, and a photo shown whats being done behind the pedal can be shown would defunk my questionable suggestion. Please help us all.

See example of drilling thru aluminum and plastic plate stock. (Did this three times, same results shavings from aluminum and plastic)
