The fix for Tesla's CyberTruck accelerator pedal problem is riveting!
Literally.
Drilling a hole in the bottom of the pedal and snapping in a rivet.
They're supposed to take a measurement first and if whatever the measurement is falls within certain specs, replace the pedal. Otherwise, poprivet.
Not that I would ever own a Tesla, but were I to own one, I would be royally PO'd. That pedal should have been one unit, not one with a slip-on cover. This rivet detracts from the appearance of the interior of my butt-ugly truck. They should have machined the pedal out of a single piece of stock, which you might have expected out of a high-tech/high-cost car maker.
BUT NO! We're gonna drill a hole in your truck and pop in a rivet.
