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.

Admittedly, this is a good, low-tech solution to a problem that shouldn't have happened in the first place. But I'm sure it annoys and aggravates somebody who will be doing his best to make the next car even less user-friendly.
