TL;DR Summary

Tesla has issued a recall for nearly 4,000 Cybertrucks due to a faulty accelerator pedal that can become dislodged and trapped, potentially increasing the risk of a collision. The issue, caused by the introduction of soap on the assembly line, was confirmed after a customer uploaded a video demonstrating the problem on social media. While the brake can override the accelerator, the incident is a significant setback for the much-criticized Cybertruck and Tesla, which has faced stock declines and other challenges this year. The company has introduced a new accelerator pedal component and resumed Cybertruck deliveries, with affected owners required to bring their vehicles to service centers for a free repair.
