since someone posted there's multiple teslas in that driveway, i'm guessing this is a well off tesla employee's home! or a company showcase they're unloading with the layoffs.

Owners are apparently furious, they've stopped making them temporarily because the gas pedal cover or something can mat it to the floor, that's the latest.
where do you hear this, on the internet?

Google CT gas pedal. They stopped selling them temporarily.

That's just one problem people are dealing with.

This could be deadly if it happens.

On a different note, I finally saw one in the parking lot the other day. I never commented on this thing before. But damn... it looks odd. But taste is very subjective.

Oh, I'm pretty sure most people think it's ugly lol

Haven't seen one yet, though I think they halted deliveries so It'll probably be awhile.

I'm more interested in seeing the new Land Cruiser (my classic dream vehicle) or GX550. I may drop into a dealership to see whether they have one in stock.

Tesla redesigned the accelerator pedal and is restarting production. Apparently a heavy foot combined with assembly grease could cause a stuck pedal. Customer cars will get the new pedal at Service Centers.

Seems like something for mobile service i would think. Anything to avoid having these deathtraps have to drive in to the service centers.

This is something they would only do at a service center. Remote techs only handle basic stuff like tire rotation, lose panel etc

fair enough, but i don't consider 'deposits' as 'sold'.

death traps? you know if the 'gas' pedal got stuck i assume a customer taking their foot off and pressing, you know, that other pedal, would bring it to a stop.
