Whereas Aaron Money’s video posted to X says it’s a “35 second recall repair,” demonstrated on the “Cyber Takeover” occasion in Lengthy Seaside, the video begins with the required drilling jig already in place.
With it on the pedal, Tesla’s employees drill a gap as specified and set up a rivet to safe the pedal pad so it received’t come off as a result of “unapproved change” throughout manufacturing that made it slipperier than meant.
The Service Bulletin posted by Tesla reveals the method has just a few different required steps, together with measuring “the gap 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 your entire pedal meeting.
As soon as it’s all finished, 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.
