Tesla Cybertruck production and deliveries were just halted. Here’s the likely reason.
2024 has not been good to Tesla so far.
EV sales are on the decline, which led to the Elon Musk-led company laying off 10 percentof its workforce on Monday. Now there's a major problem with Tesla's newest vehicle, the Cybertruck, which has apparently forced the company to halt production, sales, and deliveries.
SEE ALSO:Tesla to cut more than 10% of workforce, report claimsWhile Tesla has yet to confirm the problem, some Tesla Cybertruck owners have reportedon social media that they have experienced a major safety issue in which the accelerator pedal gets stuck when it's being pressed down.

Tesla customers who had orderedthe Cybertruck have posted on the internet that their deliveries have been suspended due to either a recall or a "stop-sale."
A well-known Elon Musk fan account on X, which usually reports on Tesla news, also reportedthat the company has stopped Cybertruck deliveries due to the accelerator issue.
One Cybertruck owner uploaded a videoon TikTok to demonstrate what's going on with the accelerator. It appears a pedal cover is coming loose and sliding up the pedal. It can then reportedly get wedged in an indent on the floor of the Cybertruck. This issue happens when the accelerator is pushed all the way down causing the vehicle to go "full throttle," as the Cybertruck owner in the video puts it. The individual says he was able to stop the vehicle by holding down the brake pedal, which overrides the acceleration pedal, but the Cybertruck would immediately accelerate again if he took his foot off the brake.
Tesla's long-awaited Cybertruck was first delivered to customers who had preordered the vehicle late last year. However, since the very beginning, Cybertruck has been plagued with complaints from customers about a variety of issues.

As Tom's Guidereports, Cybertruck owners have blasted the car over everything from shoddy build quality issues to braking and accelerating at random.
"My truck has been in service longer than I've owned it," said one Cybertruck owner on X who has faced numerous issueswith his brand new vehicle.
The previously mentioned Musk fan account said the delivery halt was for seven days, but it's unclear exactly when Tesla will fulfill Cybertruck deliveries again. It's also unclear what the company is doing about what appears to be a major design flaw with its accelerator pedal given that such an issue could potentially have fatal consequences.
