This car is known for being a death trap, if it flips you won’t be able to break or open the windows and the doors are wing doors and need space above you to open them, also you need a special way of washing it
The cybertruck and delorean got stuck acceleration for different reasons, but kind of the same effect. Cybertruck has a decorative plate on the pedal that works loose and wedges fully down against the footwell trim. The delorean had a throttle cable that would basically stick at a certain point sometimes when you let off the throttle. The fix there was to tap the accelerator pedal until it worked loose again.
The cause of the cybertruck issue was using lubricant to install the decorative plate. The recall factory fix for the delorean was to lubricate the throttle cable with antifreeze. A very slapdash fix
