‘I paid 80K for this and it almost killed my entire family’: Cybertruck driver says design flaw in his truck nearly caused fatal crash

In the TikTok, which has more than 2.2 million views, Jose Martinez (@el.chepito1985) shared that a few days ago, he was driving his Tesla truck when he suddenly went from a normal speed to “100% full throttle.”

Many people would panic in this situation, with a car whose speed they could no longer control, but luckily, that’s not how Martinez reacted. “Override the pedal,” Martinez thought to himself as he held down the brake to control the car.

But every time he lifted his foot off the brake, the car would accelerate at a dangerous speed.

Still holding down the brake, Martinez managed to put the car in park and get out. At first, he assumed the pedal was broken or defective, but as he examined the area around the driver’s seat, he figured it out.

See, the pedal on Tesla’s truck is made up of two parts. One is the internal metal component that connects to the car’s mechanics, the other is what looks like a plastic cover that latches onto the metal bit.

Well, that plastic part isn’t as secure as it should be. Martinez realized that as he was driving, the plastic part slid up and up and up. Because of the floorboard’s design, the plastic bit eventually got wedged in the floorboard, not allowing the gas pedal to release.

This sounds like Toyotas floor mat issue....although Toyotas SUA issue was rarely caused by the floor mats. In this case, as the brakes actually responded, i guess the problem was this. Usually SUA stops the brake pedal from responding like the next Cybertruck accident i'll post.

Tesla goes out of control hitting a hydrant and tree, burns its occupants alive as their friends try desperately to get them out.

It was learned that a speeding Tesla crashed into a fire hydrant at Macarthur Boulevard and Grant Lane Road in Tracy at 9.45pm on Friday night, then crashed into a tree and burst into flames.

Behind their car, their other friends were coming in another car, who tried hard to save their friends, but the car got locked and they could not do anything because of the flames.

Tesla suffers SUA and drives into a parking garage wall.

I'm begging all of you to NEVER get in a Tesla as long as you live. It started accelerating on its own in a parking garage and my dad lost all control of the car and we ran into a wall at 40 mph. Most horrifying experience of my life.

Hutchison Effect & Teslas Whompy Wheel issue

Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.

The exact cause of the Hutchison Effect is unknown in public spheres as it is classified under national security. However the most likely culprit seems to be a combination of electromagnetic sources coming together in a way to change the makeup of metals leading to their rusting, softening, fracturing, complete breaking, even dustification. Keep in mind the degree of metal materials that are within our buildings and infrastructure...even in concrete. Maybe this is why we are seeing an increase in building and bridge collapses?
