In a shocking turn of events, a newly purchased Tesla Cybertruck has crashed into a neighbor's house as the accelerator failed to disengage, causing the owner to lose control of the vehicle. The incident has sparked concerns about the automaker's response to the defect, particularly due to a lack of immediate action.

The owner, Twitter user @bfreshwa, took to social media to express his frustration with the unresponsive throttle and the lack of assistance from Tesla. In a video captured by surveillance footage, the stainless-steel-clad Cybertruck can be seen accelerating uphill, with the rear wheels completely locked up. The owner held the brake pedal to the floor, but the throttle and steering remained unresponsive, leading to the vehicle crashing into the nearby house.

According to the owner, a Tesla representative stated during a phone call that they had reviewed the logs and suggested that the accelerator may or may not disengage when the brake is depressed, specifically in terrains like the one where the incident occurred. The company also mentioned that they were investigating the issue with the locked rear tire.

However, Tesla advised the owner to handle the damage costs through his insurance company, leaving many questioning the automaker's responsibility in addressing the situation promptly.

It should be noted that this particular incident is unrelated to the previous concern surrounding a slippery pedal pad that caused the throttle to be pinned down. That issue was resolved through a stop-sale and recall, as it was determined to be caused by leftover soap from the assembly process.

As of now, it remains unclear what exactly went wrong with the Cybertruck in this instance. The incident adds to a series of challenges faced by Tesla since the launch of the highly anticipated electric pickup truck. With a price tag of $400,000 for a Cybertruck build slot, customers expected reliability and prompt resolution of any issues.

Tesla enthusiasts and owners alike will be eagerly awaiting updates from the automaker regarding the investigation into this incident and any potential actions to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
