    The accelerator sensor doesn’t get stuck, pedal does. The face of the accelerator falls off and wedges the pedal into the down position.

      Pedal, not petal.

      Not trying to be an asshole, just a nudge to avoid misunderstandings (although the context is clear in this case)

        Given the number of other issues in the post I’m going to guess it was hurried and autocorrected wrong. Happens to me all the time.

      I realize it’s the pedal that gets stuck, but the computer registers the state of the pedal via a sensor.

      The computer should be smart enough to realize something ain’t right when it registers that both the accelerator and brake pedals are being pressed at the same time. And in that case, the brake should always take priority.

        The stories I’ve heard around the recall have been saying that the brakes override the accelerator in the cyber truck.

          Well that’s good at least.

          Thank you Jesus!
