I'm no car designer, but the design for the accelerator on the Tesla Truck appears to be astonishingly bad. First, it's a bit janky, apparently with a cover that slides over the main structural element of the pedal. Maybe that's standard, but it feels a bit cheap. More importantly, though, the cover can slide forward on the pedal, wedging itself in the carpet and effectively locking the accelerator on the floor. That's a problem.
"Pedal to the metal"? More like "metal off the pedal."
