Interestingly the invoice said that they both replaced the ideal AND installed a rivet. Unfortunately they forgot to realign the wheels or connect the tie rod or something else that caused the truck to pull to the right A LOT when I picked it up. So, it's back in the shop.

I’m sorry but that looks terrible. They could have easily hidden the rivet below the rubber grip but instead they went with this cheap route. It looks like what a DIYer would come up with.

I'm glad that you know exactly what the pedal under the cover looks like and how to best resolve the issue. I'm sure that Tesla would appreciate your car engineering experience and your decades of working with regulatory agencies would be a great addition to thwm.

You do realize that those Tesla engineers that you are carrying water for with this comment are the ones that designed the faulty pedal in the first place. Not sure I'd trust them to come up with the best overall fix. The point is that I can't believe at the price of the Cybertruck that this cheap and aesthetic nonsense fix is acceptable. If there is in fact a regulator reason for the rivet to be there they could have redesigned the pedal cap to have a way to hide the unsightly thing. Why is it only ever Tesla owners that play mental gymnastics to forgive their car company for fucking them over? You should be holding Tesla to the fire when these issues pop up.

I was not carrying water for anyone just laughing at your sour grapes and self-assurance in your own seemingly non-existent engineering and regulatory compliance expertise. Why is it only ever non-Tesla owners who feel the need to troll in an enthusiast subreddit dedicated to a car?

I doth love the truck m'lord
