Tesla Postpones Cybertruck Deliveries Due to Accelerator Issue, Promises Quick Reschedule
Tesla is canceling several Cybertruck delivery dates due to an "unexpected delay," according to multiple customers anticipating receiving theirs this weekend, Teslarati reported.
According to various testimonies on the Cybertruck Owner's Club forum and on X, Tesla messaged clients with delivery appointments on Friday, informing them that their bookings would need to be canceled.
Some forum users claimed the delay was caused by an issue with the accelerator lubricant, which caused the pedal to slip, while Omar of Whole Mars Blog stated that the delivery pause would last seven days.
“Hi, we have just been informed of an unexpected delay regarding the preparation of your vehicle. We need to cancel your delivery appointment for tomorrow and we will reach out again when we’re able to get you back on the schedule. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to hosting your Cybertruck delivery soon!” Tesla wrote in the message to customers.
At the time of writing, Tesla has not responded to requests for additional information.
Tesla Ramps Up Cybertruck Production, Eyes Global Showcases Despite Regulatory Hurdles
Tesla has been scaling up production of the Cybertruck at its Gigafactory in Austin, Texas. Recent drone footage indicates that the company is producing 900 to 1,000 units each week.
The company has also been delivering early Cybertruck units since its launch event in November, with many reservation holders still waiting for their delivery dates. According to Cox Automotive's most recent data, Tesla delivered 2,803 Cybertruck units in Q1.
Tesla has also used the Cybertruck to promote its unique electric vehicle (EV), with the business launching displays throughout the United States and elsewhere.
Although the vehicle is not for sale outside of the United States and may never reach other countries due to tougher pedestrian safety requirements, Tesla has been touring it across China, Japan, and Germany, with some speculating that it will make its way to Thailand next.
