Tesla Cybertruck Unexpectedly Accelerates Into Home With Rear Wheels Locked (jalopnik.com)

Another unintended acceleration issue. Fortunately, no one was injured but the Cybertruck still crashed into a house.

This happened in a rich-enough area that it was filmed by someone's doorbell camera. There's apparently 50-foot long line of skidmarks.

Usually these kinds of "can't stop acceleration" are due to mixing up the brake and acceleration or the pedal getting stuck under a nom-OEM floor mat. I was gonna say maybe that's the case here, but it seems pretty apparent that they were at least flooring the brakes, and I don't imagine they switched the floor mats after 4 hours.

Also that $50k fee in the linked article is hilarious.
