Whereas Aaron Money’s video posted to X says it’s a “35 second recall repair,” demonstrated on the “Cyber Takeover” occasion in Lengthy Seashore, the video begins with the required drilling jig already in place.
With it on the pedal, Tesla’s staff drill a gap as specified and set up a rivet to safe the pedal pad so it gained’t come off because of the “unapproved change” throughout manufacturing that made it slipperier than supposed.
The Service Bulletin posted by Tesla reveals the method has a couple of different required steps, together with measuring “the space between the underside of the aluminum accelerator pedal pad and the underside of the pedal backing” earlier than the work begins. If the underside of the pad is 5mm or farther from the underside of the pedal, then they’re supposed to interchange the complete pedal meeting.
As soon as it’s all achieved, they’re supposed to examine the work with a mirror and clear up any particles the method has left within the buyer’s $99,000-plus truck that got here with an untrustworthy accelerator pedal.
