Tesla issues massive recall for Cybertruck accelerator pedal malfunction

TL;DR Summary
Tesla is recalling the Cybertruck due to a defective pedal pad that can cause accelerator pedals to get stuck, potentially leading to a crash. The issue, caused by soap used in the manufacturing process, affects all 3,878 trucks sold so far and requires a physical repair. This marks the second recent incident involving soap in manufacturing processes, with a Boeing supplier also using Dawn dish soap in assembling door seals. Tesla, facing challenges including poor sales and layoffs, will address investors on a quarterly earnings call next week.
